Also hospital floors are more clean than hotel floors. They have multiple process steps in cleaning each room between patients that hotels do not so shoes for showering is unnecessary.
I don’t know how much your milk supply is but you should totally look into donating some milk to a milk bank! They use the milk for NICU babies to help build immunity and help them grow 🥰
Omg. I wore a bralette when I was in labor and after I got the epidural it was so uncomfortable. I told the nurses they could just cut it off of me 😂. They ended up helping me take it off, they wouldn’t cut it off even though I kept telling them too.
I didn’t pack much, which ended working out well since I literally only used my blanket & pillow, toothbrush/toothpaste, brush, deodorant, shower stuff, face wash, nursing bra, & our going home outfits.
I was due to have my baby at the end of August also, and he ended up coming 5 weeks early. I had a c-section with him, and he ended up staying in the NICU for two weeks. I had the grey Target pajamas in my bag as well and they were such a godsend. The buttons were great for breastfeeding, and the shorts were high and cozy which covered my scar. It makes you feel so much more human to walk to the NICU in your own clothes vs a hospital gown, too.
Girl you’re making me not so scared of this birth that much, I was so scared because this is my first lil nugget but I watched your labor vlogs and they really comforted me. Thank u❤️
Just to give you some peace in mind about walking in the bathroom with bare feet, the hospital should do a routine clean of every room, especially the bathroom, after every patient is discharged to avoid illnesses that the next patient might get in that same room from anything left over from the previous patient. If your hospital does not do this, I'd go to a different hospital next time...
This was so helpful! I’m 31w 6d. My husband and I are expecting our baby boy Nov. 23rd 💙 This was really informative, seeing what you actually need and what the hospital provides so I don’t overpack. Thanks so much Aspyn! 🤗
The main reason why it’s good to bring a robe or pjs to the hospital is of your baby goes to NICU. My boys did & I had to walk back and forth all the time. So it was nice to have my personal gown. (:
Areoflow is AMAZING! The process took me like 2 minutes and they responded through email within minutes and had everything filed and handled all the paperwork and I had my pump with in the week and i had tons of options through my insurance. Incredible company 💗
No one ever makes these videos this is GREAT. Even if I have zero use for this info since I’m 19 with no kids, let alone a boyfriend. I’ll be so prepared thooo
I had a c-section and was in the hospital for 3 days after birth. I had to get up and walk around the halls after birth, so I definitely used a robe and slippers. If you go in, have a quick birth, then go home next day, then you might not need them.
I wanted to point out, I used to be a postpartum aide (CNA) and a lot of us used to carry small safety scissors so we could cut off the mesh panties making them easier to take off during pad changes (we'd cut them at both hip side seams), so when someone wears their own they are making things a little more difficult if the aide was planning to cut the underpants off at the side seams. Not all aides do that but another aide taught me and that was super helpful. Personally, I didn't mind wearing the hospital mesh panties, I'd rather wear those and throw them away than ruin ones I've bought.... no matter what your lady bits are a war zone so having comfy panties isn't really important...you just had a baby things aren't fun down below lol...
I love this videos. Me and boyfriend are trying to get pregnant for 9 months now. I'm 32 years old. I just want a baby really bad and get jealous for everyone that's pregnant or just had a baby but your videos are so fun to watch! 🥰
When I had my son I didn’t know those Velcro swaddle sleep sack things were a thing would’ve helped so much in the hospital 😩 also didn’t swell at all whole pregnancy but immediately after giving birth my legs and feet ballooned I couldn’t fit in any shoes basically walked out of the hospital in socks 😌
I didn't bring much because I was told that the hospital gives you everything. The only things I wish we brought was premie clothes for the baby (she was full term but super small) and snacks for after I gave birth. Definitely will pack the same stuff for the next baby.
Hi Aspyn! Could you do a "What they don't tell you about pregnancy and birth" video? For some people it might be TMI but I'm sooo interested in what "the downstairs area" feels like after birth and if it is very painful and what you can do etc. I love how open you are about giving birth and pregnancy so I'd LOVE a video about it ! xx
I know you didn't really use your slippers but I would recommend to pack them. Both my labours were really long and I was in hospital for at least a day before both my girls were born! I walked my hospital flat trying to get labour going and they were a lifesaver! Also I didn't get many afterpains after my first child but they were so bad after my second and they get worse after each baby! So thank you for recommending the afterease, I might try it next time ❤
I am due with my 4th by soon and what we do (well my Husband) is that he brings lysol wipes and sanitizer cleaners and as soon as we get to our room he goes crazy. I know they clean and such but if I wanna be barefoot then I wanna know its perfectly clean because there is a part of labor where I am not myself and have laid on the bathroom floor naked and was so happy we knew it was sweeped, cleaned and sanitized.
Be careful with baby socks if you wash them check inside and make sure hair isn’t caught in the sock. Hair can cut of blood supply to the toes of the baby if it gets caught around them.
I dont understand the whole shower shoes thing. Hospital toilets/shower rooms are cleaned with a bleach solution at least once a day and thoroughly disinfected when each patient is discharged in the uk at least . Cant imagine the US system would be any different
I’ve already had one but baby girl number two is coming in a couple weeks. It’s so fun to see what other mamas bring! This time around I’m bringing compression leggings which I’m excited to try.
I would love to know where you got out wooden/wicker bassinet that Cove was laying in. I am due with my first baby in a few months and I love that bassinet you have!
I would double check on if slippers are "needed" or not. My hospital doesn't allow patients to walk around (even in your room) without something on your feet as it is a liability for slipping, so check with your hospital.
I JUST got done filming my hospital bag and posting it! lots of similar items, but i for sure have some key items i would HAVE to bring and is a must..
Definitely going to make this video on my channel asap, I barely used anything from my hospital bag even though I packed enough for an entire vacation 😅
I wish I would have brought more pj pants/leggings that weren’t super tight. I brought my high waisted compression leggings but my back hurt so much from the epidural it was painful (they had to try 3 times to get it in 😭). You live and learn 😉 but your list is spot on girl!

Me: 19 and not planning on having children anytime soon
Also me: obsessed with these types of videos
Ashley Brooke Boyd LITERALLY SAME, I’m over prepared for a baby 🤣 (not really but the amount of videos I watch about babies)
Me: Not Married, Single, not Pregnant but love these vids so much
Parker wearing “Aspyn X tarte” we love a supportive husband ❤️❤️❤️
Cove looks so much like Parker! She’s so adorable and seems so sleepy and sweet
I’m glad that you showed what the hospital gave! I feel like most people don’t include that
I'm 15 why am I watching this lol
Random comment but I LOVE the pillow in the background that says “everyone is welcome here” makes me feel warm lol. Very motherly

A blanket from home is my #1 favorite thing I brought to the hospital! So comforting and cozy!! Loved snuggling up with my baby in it 💖
Girl you’re making me not so scared of this birth that much, I was so scared because this is my first lil nugget but I watched your labor vlogs and they really comforted me. Thank u❤️
i love how she said “next time”!!! i rlly hope u guys have more kids

Definitely it’s crazy to see how pregnancy can be in a million ways for every women.
Aspyn, you definitely had the easiest pregnancy ❤️❤️
My labour was 37 hours and I was in the hospital for a week definitely loved having my slippers
This was so helpful! I’m 31w 6d. My husband and I are expecting our baby boy Nov. 23rd 💙 This was really informative, seeing what you actually need and what the hospital provides so I don’t overpack. Thanks so much Aspyn! 🤗
I’m 30 weeks pregnant and just starting to think about what I might want to pack in my hospital bag and this video is super helpful!! 🤰🏻💕
#parkerssupersecretshow
My question is
Are you guys going to raise Cove vegan/vegetarian or are you guys going to raise her with meats
The main reason why it’s good to bring a robe or pjs to the hospital is of your baby goes to NICU. My boys did & I had to walk back and forth all the time. So it was nice to have my personal gown. (:
i find Parker wearing an aspyn x tarte shirt SO cute
Areoflow is AMAZING! The process took me like 2 minutes and they responded through email within minutes and had everything filed and handled all the paperwork and I had my pump with in the week and i had tons of options through my insurance. Incredible company 💗
So glad you did a video like this! I’m not pregnant or soon to be, but this is something I’d love to see!
Been here since the beginning! Hope you guys see this since im early . I love you guys so much and happy for this new chapter in your life !!
Aspyn: Gets cold with a hospital blanket, but hot with a hospital gown
Glad to see this. So many TH-camrs show them packing sooo much unnecessary things! I felt overwhelmed but definitely packed way lighter than most.
This is how I got my pump. The process was super easy and 100% free. I got the same pump love it
I’m glad you showed what the hospital gave you. I live in the SLC and think I’m delivering at the same hospital. So I feel like that is super helpful.
This was actually pretty informational... I feel like when the time comes for me to have a kid I'd most definitely overpack!
No one ever makes these videos this is GREAT. Even if I have zero use for this info since I’m 19 with no kids, let alone a boyfriend. I’ll be so prepared thooo
I had a c-section and was in the hospital for 3 days after birth. I had to get up and walk around the halls after birth, so I definitely used a robe and slippers. If you go in, have a quick birth, then go home next day, then you might not need them.
Everyone: I’m 15 why am I watching this.
Me: I’m 12.
Do you think that after ease stuff would work for just regular period cramps?
My favorite part was bringing my own blanket from home. I didn’t even think about it until I watched your other video.
parker wearing an aspyn x tarte shirt is MAXIMUM husband goals
I stayed 6 days after labor so i’m sooo happy I overpacked! My labor was super fast I just had some sort of infection so I couldn’t leave!
I’m a postpartum nurse so I care for mommas and babies right after birth and it was so interesting to hear about your experience!
I love Aeroflow! Ordered my breast pump from them and got it a week later! They made it soooooooo easy. I literally put no work into it lol.
I just found out that my teacher is pregnant and I’m going to get her a bunch of stuff that you recommend
Yessss we love a long vlog💗 Cove is the sweetest!! I’m not having babies anytime soon but I’m taking notes.... gotta be prepared
Your hair is getting so long 🤩🤩 if you’re wondering wether to cut it, DOOOO!!! It suits you so much!!
Parker wearing her collab shirt is everything I want in a husband ♡

Low key gonna put all of these pregnancy / baby content on a playlist to re watch it when I get pregnant in the future🤰 🍼
I love this videos. Me and boyfriend are trying to get pregnant for 9 months now. I'm 32 years old. I just want a baby really bad and get jealous for everyone that's pregnant or just had a baby but your videos are so fun to watch! 🥰

“Next time” so you guys are wanting more kids? That makes me so happy :) much love for you guys

lol the part about the flip flops 😂 such a mom who doesn’t gaf already
Love the hospital bag follow up! Definitely taking some notes for my baby!
Are you growing your hair out long again? It’s so pretty either way :)
I love how aspyn is so up-straight and honest love you vlogs xoxo

I had 3 c-sections and my slippers were a different most have.
Parker’s Asypn x Tarte shirt 😭😍 we love a supportive husband
#parkerssupersecretshow when did you have the thought "this girl is the love of my life"
I know you didn't really use your slippers but I would recommend to pack them. Both my labours were really long and I was in hospital for at least a day before both my girls were born! I walked my hospital flat trying to get labour going and they were a lifesaver!

I love how you always keep your house clean so its not dirty and so much trash in other houses. It's really clean!
Wait did I just hear a "the next time" ?! Yay
I am due with my 4th by soon and what we do (well my Husband) is that he brings lysol wipes and sanitizer cleaners and as soon as we get to our room he goes crazy. I know they clean and such but if I wanna be barefoot then I wanna know its perfectly clean because there is a part of labor where I am not myself and have laid on the bathroom floor naked and was so happy we knew it was sweeped, cleaned and sanitized.
Is it me or in the thumbnail does aspyn hair look pretty long
Cove looks so big compared to when she was first born oh my god ❤️😭
I’m due the end of November with my first baby! Thank you so much for this video
Be careful with baby socks if you wash them check inside and make sure hair isn’t caught in the sock. Hair can cut of blood supply to the toes of the baby if it gets caught around them.
Whoa whoa I stayed till the end...#parkerssuperseceretshow where u at lol
I dont understand the whole shower shoes thing. Hospital toilets/shower rooms are cleaned with a bleach solution at least once a day and thoroughly disinfected when each patient is discharged in the uk at least . Cant imagine the US system would be any different
Me not having a baby anytime soon but being so into these videos! Cutest baby Cove happy for you both!
I’ve already had one but baby girl number two is coming in a couple weeks. It’s so fun to see what other mamas bring! This time around I’m bringing compression leggings which I’m excited to try.
You make me less scared to have a kiddo so thank you!
Aspen and Parker you guys are the best parents ever!
I would love to know where you got out wooden/wicker bassinet that Cove was laying in. I am due with my first baby in a few months and I love that bassinet you have!
What’s the name of the highlighter you’ve used in the hospital?💕
Cove is such a cute baby aww
I’m 31 weeks with my first and I don’t want to pack too much but I just keep adding things to the list 😂🤦🏼♀️
Aspyn where did you get your coming one outfit?! It looks so comfy!
Can’t believe they both talk about a next time because they know they are going to have more kids 🥰🥰❤️❤️
who do you love watching on youtube? i really can’t get myself to venture out of your channel 😂♥️
Any thing you wish you had?
I would double check on if slippers are "needed" or not. My hospital doesn't allow patients to walk around (even in your room) without something on your feet as it is a liability for slipping, so check with your hospital.
Loved this vid!! Helpful!! Thanks Aspyn ❤️❤️
At my hospital room service came and scrubbed down our bathroom every night
I literally only wore my hospital gown the whole time. I brought clothes and never touched them until I left 😂
The last time I was this early aspyn was a brunette
I JUST got done filming my hospital bag and posting it! lots of similar items, but i for sure have some key items i would HAVE to bring and is a must..
“ the down stairs area” lol
omg i loveeeee the pink makeup bag!! anyone know where it’s from?
Definitely going to make this video on my channel asap, I barely used anything from my hospital bag even though I packed enough for an entire vacation 😅
✨Y’all are amazing and a Huge inspiration, Congratulations on baby Cove she is gorgeous and adorable🥰(Y’all are both great parents)✨
How much did your whole hospital stay cost? I’ve heard it can be super expensive 🙃
I’m pregnant and I was so excited when you said you were doing this video!!! Thank you!!
Baby cove is adorable!😍
cutest mamma ever!!!
I wish I would have brought more pj pants/leggings that weren’t super tight. I brought my high waisted compression leggings but my back hurt so much from the epidural it was painful (they had to try 3 times to get it in 😭). You live and learn 😉 but your list is spot on girl!
This was so so good loved this so much 💕💕
your intros are always so fricken cute
Some how only getting to this now... still loving your preggy vids 💕
Your eyebrows look SO GOOD!! lol
keep up the longer vlogsssss😍😍
