I’m a registered nurse and bringing your own shower slippers is a must! It’s more sanitary for you and it can prevent you from an accidental slip. So if you can, buy anti slip slippers 😊. Also, definitely wear shoes/slippers at all times while walking in the hospital room. Even though the floors get sanitized, people (RNs, MDs, family) will be walking in and out and you wouldn’t imagine the things that might be on the floor and that hospital staff have stepped on (bodily fluids). Trust me! Cannot wait to see baby boy 💙☺️.
agreed! Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have any even though I was at the hospital for 3 weeks! My son was 5 weeks early and luckily we were able to stay in the hospital with him. Every time I stepped into the shower, I was like “shit. Keep forgetting abt shoes. Ew.” 🤦♀️ I did get my waterproof birks like a week later
I’m pregnant with baby #7 and things I learned I had to have were ear plugs(hospitals can be loud), cheap flip flops to throw away afterwards-floors are gross-don’t take your cute and expensive slippers! Chapstick, your prenatals plus any other meds you take including tums, long charger cable and black as plugs are miles away from bed, big water bottle/cup so you can always have water as nurses get busy and can’t always bring it, and lastly, I brought my favourite sweet treat as a reward for giving birth 😂 so excited to see baby boy! Your bump is sooo cute!
I say get 2 gowns at least 😊. One for delivery. The baby will go on your gown first thing! Blood and goo! When they change babies blanket and your gown after delivery you and baby can both be in a clean blanket and gown!
Where I’m from our hospitals gives you a list of what to bring. It’s the very bare minimum. Going home outfit for mom, going home outfit for baby, blanket and car seat. Our hospital also only provides the very least so they provide baby blankets, baby gown and a hat but you don’t take them home. They don’t give you tucks pads, Dermoplast, nipple cream, pacifiers etc. They give you one pair of mesh underwear, postpartum pads, peri bottle, diapers, wipes, and bottles of formula if you choose to bottle feed. They don’t provide any grip socks for mama or a breast pump if you need one. If you ask for any of those things they just tell you purchase it yourself from the gift shop.
i noticed youre from guam too lol so thanks for this, im due in 2 months and i saw the list as well, but im just wondering (if you dont mind) what did you bring?
So excited for you!!! As for shower shoes- I am a nursing student so I am in the hospital all the time. If you saw the things that go down that drain… you would probably want shower shoes 🤩🥰💗
If your laboring at home as long as possible I highly recommend taking a warm or hot shower and breathing through those contractions the water really helped me it’s one of the only things that got me through I labored all at home.
Ahhhhhh girl i’m so beyond happy for you two (soon to be three!!) this will be the most amazing experience and transition of your life. I am praying for you for a safe birth and healthy little boy♥️♥️♥️
i recommend shower shoes!! even if they’re thongs (flip flops). i’m always in hospital due to CF (cystic fibrosis) and cannot describe how gross the floors are, even if they’re cleaned, there’s always bacteria xxxx best of luck!! loved the organisation
Iv’e watched so many of these videos. I used next to nothing in my bag. I was so busy recovering (I tore horribly. Not sure if it was worth pushing for only 20 minutes 😭) so all I used literally was my hygiene products, my pajamas I wore home, and my pillow from home.
I am 34 weeks tomorrow! How has it been going for you at 37 weeks now? Have you experienced lots of swelling in your feet and legs? Mine were very swollen yesterday for the first time but today they seem fine! I have seen some veeeery swollen feet and legs online and was worried it would only get worse for the next 6 weeks D: Best wishes with your labor and delivery! Sounds like your little boy will be here before you know it!!
@@QuiteQuietASMR It’s getting rough at this point! I probably have preeclampsia so I’m extremely swollen from the knees down. I might be getting induced tomorrow! I’m 38 weeks now :)
@@maggiesouthern3 aww man!! Well I wish you the best! Pre-eclampsia is something I’ve been afraid of for a while now because my sister had her baby at 33 weeks due to that, and she was only 3 pounds and was in the Nicu for several weeks. But she’s 5 years old and very healthy now :) I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with the swelling and the possibility of an early induction, but you’ve made it to full term and it’s so wonderful to think you’ll get to meet your baby soon!! I’m so excited for you!! I pray everything goes as smoothly as can be for your delivery! 💕
This is more for after but witch hazel on a pad post birth, you can buy some off amazon, but my sister just used to spray her pad with a few pumps and rub it in, some people freeze it also to make it more soothing and helps with the soreness.
I can't believe you're 39 weeks!!! So happy baby could be here any day sister!! Take care of yourself. Have family take pictures and videos of every moment. Going home etc!!
as an l&d nurse, i definitely think shower shoes are a good idea. Also, idk who told you they dont do footprints anymore 👣 but we definitely do, at least in texas. Maybe its a regional thing but definitely feel like thats unnecessary, unless you heard for sure that your hospital doesn't, which seems wild to me lol. Praying for a safe, smooth uneventful labor and delivery and a healthy mom & baby 💙 can't wait to see baby boy!
Make sure they do provide the dermaplast, and tucks because my sister in law just gave birth Jan 16 and her hospital only gave her a peri bottle and a pad and nothing else. They didn’t provide anything for her.
The Mushie pacifier case is made to be attached to the outside of your bag for easy access. Just wrap it around the handle and pull it through itself like you would attach a pacifier clip to a pacifier.
As I am sure you now know, I would of bought 4 of the hospital gowns. I hated the ones the hospital provided and I bought 4 of them for my 2nd birth and My Mom was literally going to the laundromat (which was just down the street from the hospital) daily for my stuff and taking home my babies stuff and bringing it back in, in the morning. Another thing you might want to bring is a pop up laundry hamper for the Little Person and one for yourself too. The hubby can make a run home or Grandma can run home and do laundry.
I am 37 weeks pregnant today! And I’m getting induced on the 2nd of March which is the day after my birthday 🎉 haha I’m so excited/nervous (she’s my first child). Love watching your videos makes me feel like we are going through this together. 😊
Congrats. My suggestion is bring your own tumbler or cup. I brought my Stanley tumbler when my daughter was born in 2021. It keep my drink cold for longer than the cup they have.
29 weeks and counting here. Insomnia is a real thing so your true pregnancy glow is a jealousy point for me. I hope everything goes so smoothly with your L&D. Much love and light!
I wishedddd I had my own hospital gown 😩 I actually didn’t even wear a gown 😂 had an emergency c-section at 35 weeks and stayed in my pajama shirt. Obviouslyyyyy i will never get rid of that shirt #sentimental 🤭
Also please be careful when using essential oils directly on your skin because they are very concentrated and can cause a rash and be toxic if used in high amounts. I suggest diluting the essential oils in coconut or almond oil and then applying it on to the skin! 😊
Hi Lauryn good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and congrats on your newborn baby and you are grateful and you are amazing Supporter I'm proud of you
i’ve had 2 sweet little babies & shower shoes are a necessity imo. the floors are so slippery & it just grosses me out thinking about the bodily fluids that have gone down the drain haha. i just got a cheap pair from old navy that were $1.99! i’m bringing them for my third baby as well (i’m due in july!)
This makes me so excited for you and to have my own baby again! I used the hospital gown with my first and honestly it made me so uncomfortable and irritated, I actually think it would have helped me a lot to be in my own gown. Planning to next time!! 😊
A travel mirror was my number 1 for doing my hair in bed or wiping makeup off or even throwing on a little makeup also leggings i wanted to be sucked in after having my baby. Everything feels loose so it felt good to be sucked in a little
Dang girl you are prepared to say the least! I’m 36 weeks with my second and I’m just bringing one small suitcase with my stuff, my husbands and my babies stuff all in one bag. Def downsizing this time around.
I haven't seen someone beautiful glowing when you you have a cute baby bump congratulations on your 1st baby what brand of diapers are you going to use Pampers or huggies or luvs wish you and your family happiness with your 1st baby
Can't believe baby boy is almost here 😁😁 so happy for y'all 💙❤️❤️ although, personally I will miss seeing you pregnant because it suits you so well hehe 😘❤️
Definitely agree with the hospital gown! I'm currently 2 days away from my due date and I have the same gown packed in my bag, it's very comfy and I also heard that they reuse hospital gowns, not sure if that's true but better safe than sorry!🤮

Lauryn, can you please link the item for taking the baby's foot/hand prints? I didn't know that hospitals have stopped doing this!
So excited for you!!! This video came just in time, I plan to pack my hospital bag this weekend!!💙
Take EVERYTHING that is in the drawer where the baby is at that has all the formula, diapers, wipes, etc. because it all gets thrown away if left!!
So excited for you ❤Can't wait to meet the baby.

Super random, but where did you send Rocco for board & train? I’m in the San Diego area and looking for one and you seemed happy with who you used.
As a nurse I could throw up at the idea of showering in the hospital without shower shoes…pls bring some 😅😅
Coming from working in hospitals, throw a pair of cheap old navy flip flops in the car for the shower! 😳
Def please bring shower shoes! It may be a hospital but there’s still funk and grime lol
I would definitely bring flip flops for the shower.
Love the diaper bag, can you link it please?
Are you gonna do a nursery tour? 🤍
where did you get the outfit you have on? i love it!!
Just so you know that dry shampoo got recalled!! I was so sad because that is what I use!
Bring shower shoes!!!!
Where is the Mama sweatshirt and your pants from?
Hospitals do not supply coming home outfits... unless that's somethings new they do now
What’s ur birth plan?
Are you filming a birth vlog?
Planning on it!
Massage oil
Witch hazel
If you have heart burn he will most likely have hair
