I had an emergency C section and I found that afterwards wearing a waist trainer helped me. After being cut on and then having to walk around with a post baby bump my waist trainer helped me a lot especially with getting out of bed. Just make sure to go a size up so it isn’t completely snug. You can thank me later. 🥰
How did I end up here? No kids, no man, no 'friend with benefits' and no plans...just a TH-cam junkie procrastinating on my job search. But this is super useful info.
Tip: Opting to get a preemie baby outfit to take baby home works great. Babies are that small after birth, it fits perfectly for a week or two. Newborn clothes don't fit right just yet. #motherof5boys
😂😂my girl was that big when she came out nb was to small for her after 2weeks 🤣 had to go buy alot more new clothes every baby's different my other 2 how ever yeap I had to go get them some prem clothes I'll say have a good mix of all prem NB and 0-3
I asked my nurse for a mirror when I was having my son, because I wanted to see him be born. The nurse gave me a weird look, but rolled on in anyway. I have no regrets, I’m blessed that I got to see him be born. Not many women can say that. I 100% recommended asking for a mirror, who cares what others think.
I’m pregnant with baby #2… first born was a c-section but this time I’m hoping for a vbac. Definitely getting an epidural and I think a mirror would help with pushing after having the epidural
Not planning on having kids for several years, but I'm already planning what snacks I'll be packing. #1 is obviously a carton of goldfish fit for an entire kindergarten class
I had an unplanned c section and everything I brought was for a vaginal birth so joke was one me 😂. Looking back, I did wish I had brought my own pillow, some makeup, boppy pillow and an abdominal binder. I didn’t have one but once I used a faja (kind of like spanx) it helped a lot with the incision. What did help with my incision as a part of it was getting infected was dermaplast. I had bought that for the expected vaginal tearing. I do want to say that recovery is hell. You’re going to feel like you’re split in two. I could barely get out of bed but I figured it out while in the hospital. You are going to retain a lot of water. It’s going to hurt like hell to cough, laugh and sneeze but you can use a pillow to minimize the pain. Lastly, it’s ok to feel upset and sad that you didn’t have a vaginal birth. Those feelings are normal. I sure went through and it’s ok. I hope this is helpful to anyone out there ❤️
I’m having twins in 2 wks! Because of the twins they are I have to have a c section . What else helped with the incision ? And what other advice do you have ? 🙏🏽❤️I’m all ears !
Alot of people bring more things because the wanna be sure they have everything some people also dont like using things that the hospital give especially with the bs of corona so tbh I think shes fine with what she brought, and there are alot of things that u need to bring that the hospital doesn't give u so sorry but ur wrong
I was induced on a friday and had a csection sunday morning and THOSE DIAPER AND PADS ARE STILL VERY IMPORTANT! YOU STILL BLEED LIKE CRAZY EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDNT PUSH A CHILD OUT. 🤯🤯.
Granny panties were definitely a must for c-section so I wouldn’t toss those out just in case. You’ll need them for recovery as well. I wore regular panties and didn’t know better the first 2 days. It was rubbing against my incision and irritated it. My mom, a nurse, came to the rescue and bought me some granny panties. Bring those just in case you have an emergency c section.
I'm at 38 weeks now and will hopefully welcome my little one soon, so this was super helpful. Thank you! I appreciate that you mentioned what you took and didn't need as well as what you did need. If answered some questions. ☺️ love both your channels. 💕
cant say how helpful this video is for me. i’m 16 and don’t really know anything about like what to bring. i’m due in 4 weeks and i’m so nervous hahaha so thank you so much for this video!
omg im 17 and due in 4 weeks as well !! but i can totally relate i just know i have to bring clothes for me and the baby but im not sure about the other products and stuff. my mom says she didnt bring much just baby clothes and clothes for herself and she said the hospital provides everything else but idkk 😬
Its so amazing majority if not all vids on here mom's mention what the hospital will give, but in my country there is no such things. U bring everything u need.
I definitely overpacked! The hospital pretty much provides you with everything your baby needs thankfully. As long as you have change of clothes and stuff to shower with then you're pretty much good...oh and don't forget your ID!
C section mom here! I brought comfy cloth high waisted shorts!!! I got them at walmart and they saved my life. I wanted to feel like myself so I wore shorts and a tank top dress as soon as I was able to shower and get dressed. Also, hight waist panties and the flex foam pads. I hated the hospital undies (and my nurses never brought me extras).
I’m 36 weeks pregnant and we are already talking about inducing me. I know I need to pack, but honestly I’m nervous since this is my first baby that I haven’t done it yet 😅
Don’t wait! I had an emergency csection at 35 weeks and we had nothing with us and nothing packed and waiting at home. It made things a little stressful.
My water broke at 38weeks, while having a dinner with my family at the restaurant. 🤣 we had to go home to grab my hospital bag first. So prepare your hospital bag and always put in the car wherever you go. You never know when😉
Jennifer Clark girl pack for a few days if you’re being induced and it’s your first time! I was in labor for 36 hours and it was ROUGH. Make sure you also pack enough clothes for your SO and have cash on hand (in case your hospital only takes cash for the cafeteria). My husband would have to go to the closest restaurant to get food since we didn’t have any cash and I had to start pushing while he was on his way back. I know it sounds cruel, but if you’re in labor for a long time don’t give him a hard time when he eats and you can’t, it’ll be hard since the food will make you even more hungry, but remember that you can’t eat just in case you need a c-section. Get as much rest the first night after delivery. It’ll be hard because you’ll just want to stare at your little one, but you have nurses there that will help you, just rest as much as you can while you have help. Congrats and I hope you have a fast delivery ❤️
Currently 19 weeks pregnant almost 20 weeks & already planning my bag because I really don’t want to forget anything even tho it’s inevitable 🥺 Thank you for this video!
I'm 38 weeks pregnant as well and I just packed my bag and posted my "what's in my hospital bag" today too! (it's my second baby too so I learned a lot my first time!) and chapstick and extra chapstick is totally a must too! Love "not your mother's" hair products too!
Omg yes I’m due may 21st and I’m 18 this video is very helpful . I have no idea what to bring now bc it will just be me and my fiancé . I’m trying not to be extra so we don’t have to carry so much . Get in fast and get home fast .
Came here after her postpartum video. Not pregnant, but when I choose to, I want to be really prepared. I'll definitely share these vids with my friends who are pregnant
25 weeks down and now 15 more to go! We’re excited to announce that we are having a baby boy after 2 little girls!!! This helped out a lot! Gonna make sure intake less than what I did with my babies!
I'm watching while adhering to Stay-at-home orders for COVID-19 and I'm now addicted to your channel!🙂. Just one extra tip about the going home clothes. Mom's who know that they're having a C-section, you'll want to wear that Maxi dress instead of pants. Your incision is wrapped up and covered but during the ride home , waist bands against your incision won't feel nice AT ALL. I'd say bring one Maxi dress even if you are planning to deliver naturally. You just never know what's going to happen . I couldn't stand anything near my incision for a very long time while it was healing.
I am so glad I brought my essential oil rollerball to put on my wrists so calming 😌 and I wish I brought more things for me like going home outfits, change of outfit for myself and home comforts like a blanket because I stayed in way longer than anticipated
Your PJ tip was helpful. My bag is packed but I have a long gown and didn't consider breastfeeding and needing to be able to pop the boob out! Gotta hurry up and order something. Thanks!
This was sooo helpful! I’m writing these items down in my notes right now. I got 6 weeks to go or less if my baby girl comes any earlier, I’m starting to pack now because you just never know, but her due date is June 11th and I absolutely cannot wait to become a mom🥰☺️
I packed a comfortable pajama dress that came with a robe for after delivery when I was finally able to shower, socks and underwear,nursing bra, my own body wash and lotion as well as deodorant and toothbrush and paste. I also brought my own towel and wash cloth, a sweat pants outfit to go home in, a throw blanket, charging cords, spare cash, head phones and tablet and of course a outfit for the baby to go home with. I used a adidas duffel bag so I had enough space to take any extra goodies the hospital gives to you like pampers, wipes, formula etc. my husband had his own bag. I’m 35 weeks with our second child so I’m bring the same stuff with the exception of a blow up mattress because my husband did not get a cot last time around and had to sleep in a uncomfortable chair for 3 days.
I’m due Aug 1st and I’ve been freaking out about everything during the hospital stay and postpartum and I’m so glad you made these for us who don’t have a clue what we’re in for
New here🙋🏻♀️ Just wanna say I’m 28 weeks and starting to prepare for baby and your videos have been so helpful!! Much less overwhelming than some other videos I’ve watched!
Yep, definitely I'm going to pack warm blankets(not only one) for my second birth. I gave a birth my first son in April and I felt so freezing cold all the time. A thin hospital blanket was totally not enough at all for me.
I'm a single 22 yr old hinge watching these videos for 2 days now. I've been longing to have a baby since i was 17 and the older i get the stronger the urge is. I have no idea why.
I'm 30 now and I know exactly how you feel. Regardless of my situation there was always this strong urge/longing every couple years. I always thought it was mother nature, I still think so.
I am 23, I was 22 when I had my first child last year, and I had the same desire in my young life. And once u do have a child, it will be the biggest accomplishment of ur whole life. Like u can't top bringing a whole human being in the world. And when u do have ur first child it will be the perfect time. Because there's really no ideal time especially as u get closer to the due date, u feel like ur not ready, but after they're born, all those feelings go away, because they're there now!
The only thing I would add as a csection momma would be nursing nightgowns. I took a couple with me. They were basically like a nursing bra with a dress part at the top. I got mine from Walmart actually! They were like $17. I couldn’t stand to wear pants after being sliced through, but wanted to have clothes on for when visitors came. 😂
Great video. Chapstick, pillows and slippers were the top items for me! I wish the hospital gave us clothes for my son because everything we bought for him was wayyy too big.
I'm so grateful for your informative and real video posts! I didn't have access to this when I had my firstborn son 16 years ago 😅 I'm now 43 years old expecting my babygirl in 2 weeks 😮my first time I winged it and only brought a going home outfit for me and baby. I had to get a c section and this time around (since mama is older, overweight not trying to make things harder) I'm definitely going to be packing a bag with essentials and I'm having my planned C-section on Halloween 🎃 thank you for the advice it's going to be needed 🎉
I went into preterm labor unexpectedly at 33 weeks. We didn’t have a bag packed. We did have phones, but my husband had to stop at our place to pick up some things (I was airlifted to the hospital, so he had to drive). My mom wound up buying the clothes for us to change into, and brought me some chapstick. My lips were so chapped, it was so painful. I had to use some Vaseline at first because it was all the hospital had. I was so thankful when my mom arrived with the chapstick. Side note: I was in labor for five days before my son was born, so we were there for a week. Looking back, I definitely would be more prepared (though to be fair, we had no idea I was in labor when we went to the hospital. I thought it was just hip pain, which had been completely normal for me at that point. But, lo and behold, I was already 4 cm dilated when we arrived!)
I just hit my third trimester with first today and am due 9/15/2020 I'm already packing to be prepared for the worst! My boyfriend got his bag done last night and that was super cute lol. He's so excited.
Girl, I didn't worry about make up, after sweating and going through labor male up was the last thing I worried about! Most of my guess waited til we got home because I never stayed more than 1 day at the hospital!
Been watching since your pregnancy announcement... Now im 2 months and due in april 2021 with my second child.... Im trying to get everything in advance thank you mama
I packed and repacked my bag so many times. And giving birth in the middle of this pandemic put a whole new spin on what I really needed and what I thought I needed in my bag (oh the pleasures of anxiety!! NOT!)
I'm 19.2 weeks inn with my first pregnancy. And planing my bag ... thank you for this and all the other videos ... going in feeling like hay I got this but also completely clueless
The copper pearl beanie is adjustable you can just untie it and tie it closer to his head! I'm 37 weeks with my second and it's a boy so I'm learning all of this as well! Congratulations on the sweet boy!
“It’s all you’re going to wear for the rest of your life” Feels like the truth for me. Went straight from breastfeeding my daughter for 13 months to currently pregnant again with my son. Figured I might as well make them my life now 😂
I LOVED this video and that amazing bag! As crazy as it sounds I had my daughter by csection almost 8 years ago and I wish I was that prepared. Lol. I will say the swaddles, robe, slippers and yoga pants were a must. You look fantastic by the way! More videos please! ❤️👍🏽👍🏽
I'm due in 3 weeks and 3 days and havent even packed a diaper bag 😅 binge watching these kinds of videos so I can start packing this week because I'm a slacker
@@halloweellahere7602 i finally got everything packed and went into labor oon sept. 19th! I delivered my baby boy on sept. 20th and he is 3 minths old today 🥰💙
20 weeks pregnant I'm so scared about everything what's right what's wrong what to bring ahhhh thanks for all your videos I find them very informative!
Wow you guys in America get lots of things provided from the hospital for you and baby! Here in the UK we get nothing- we have to take everything from home and it looks like we are moving into the hospital! Congratulations on your beautiful baby and thanks for your informative videos😊
Loved this!! Im 30 weeks right now, you should do a video about what you regret buying and what you wish you got sooner... Im always thinking if im buying too many things or not enough 😰
I am due next week and i am So scared so I understand your fear. Having a baby threw this virus will cause extra stress because once the baby is out you can no longer protect it the baby can get sick on his own. It is also my first and i am having a boy.
That hospital it’s soo generous 😫💕 I just ask my friend what my hospital gives bc she gave birth on January and I’m due on August and she said NOTHING so I’m doing to need a big bag 😂
Same thing I said. Her hospital was generous. I gave birth at one of top 100 hospitals in the US, but we were told to leave EVERYTHING behind, including the baby clothes and blankets they had my son wrapped in😂
@@cutiepiettie eat a decent meal before going in or smuggle in some snacks... you're going to need them. My labor would probably have gone very differently if I hadn't had coconut water, goldfish, and gummies to sustain me. Even energy gels (the kind that runners use) would probably give you a boost... and they come in all sorts of dank flavors.
@@rosem7042 lol thanks I actually hady daughter 7 months and thankfully we had a natural birth. It was amazing and went better than I thought thank the Lord.
Pretty much same thing. I had the diapers because you still bleed a lot after c section. The only difference is belly band. C section mama needs a good husband because you can’t barely move for the first few days. Lol
Had to get this bag! Lol my first time around, i didn’t pack nothing. Has to wait hours for my husband to go home and get me stuff, but now i know better. But this bag was just what i needed lol
I was in labor for 37 hours and only dilated at 7cm and ended up having a Csection. I stayed at the hospital for 5 days. I packed a full hospital bag, but only used flip flops and my phone charger. The hospital provided everything for my postpartum care. I used the peri bottle, mesh underwear, and those long ass pads. They also gave me extra to take home 🙃
I'm 36 weeks pregnant on Monday with my third and my first two babies were both born exactly on their due dates but preemie clothes were all they could wear for weeks. They were both quite small---son was 6lbs 9ozs but dropped down to 5lbs 8ozs by the time we left the hospital, and my daughter was born at 5lbs 6oz and never lost weight. Tip for this is be careful buying preemie clothes because sometimes they are labeled as preemie (4-6lbs) and they are definitely too large for that sized baby. I just ordered over a dozen "preemie" onesies in preparation for a tiny baby again and they are the same size as the newborn ones I already have (possibly even 0-3month sized) so that is super frustrating. I even washed them in hot water and dried them in an attempt to shrink them...to no avail. 😩. So, shop around. And have a variety of sizes, like BR said.
Instead of having a super long cable, you can get something called a juice bank. You charge it and it 'holds' the power until you want to charge your phone. Basically you won't be chained to the wall and can charge your phone in bed, inside your purse/bag or wherever you want, well worth it mums to be ❤
Maddie Peters dumbass I’m putting info out for ppl cuz sum ppl watch these videos n think all bags expensive so urs was unnecessary when I was informing someone
@@arielcalfucura8493 of course no one is gonna think all bags are effing expensive and not know there are cheaper ones. That is what makes YOU the dumbass! Making a comment THAT stupid! That would mean you think there are people out there that think every single thing is one price - _- fool, if you're gonna step to someone and ruin the lovely positive comment section - try not to make a moronic comment like that
20 weeks down, 20 more to go. I can't wait to see my precious little munchkin.
Congrats! If you're planning to breastfeed you might find my tips helpful All the best to you!

I am uncertain of a lot of things, but one thing I am certain: I am NOT using a mirror during labor. No thank you!
Lmaoooo no bcz fr face be all swole n sweaty hair messed up a mirror might make me mad 😭
How did I end up here? No kids, no man, no 'friend with benefits' and no plans...just a TH-cam junkie procrastinating on my job search. But this is super useful info.

Don’t carry too much. All you really need is extra clothes, phone charger, and baby clothes. Everything will be provided if you ask the nurses!

I’m literally due in 5 weeks ugh this is scary but I can’t wait to meet my little princess 👸💖
I packed a comfortable pajama dress that came with a robe for after delivery when I was finally able to shower, socks and underwear,nursing bra, my own body wash and lotion as well as deodorant and toothbrush and paste. I also brought my own towel and wash cloth, a sweat pants outfit to go home in, a throw blanket, charging cords, spare cash, head phones and tablet and of course a outfit for the baby to go home with. I used a adidas duffel bag so I had enough space to take any extra goodies the hospital gives to you like pampers, wipes, formula etc. my husband had his own bag. I’m 35 weeks with our second child so I’m bring the same stuff with the exception of a blow up mattress because my husband did not get a cot last time around and had to sleep in a uncomfortable chair for 3 days.
I’m due Aug 1st and I’ve been freaking out about everything during the hospital stay and postpartum and I’m so glad you made these for us who don’t have a clue what we’re in for
Congrats! If you're planning to breastfeed you might find my tips helpful All the best to you!
I’m due the 11th of August good luck !
I'm due August 7😊
New here🙋🏻♀️ Just wanna say I’m 28 weeks and starting to prepare for baby and your videos have been so helpful!! Much less overwhelming than some other videos I’ve watched!
Yep, definitely I'm going to pack warm blankets(not only one) for my second birth. I gave a birth my first son in April and I felt so freezing cold all the time. A thin hospital blanket was totally not enough at all for me.
I wish I was this prepared for when I had my first child. This video is very helpful for first time mommy's.
I'm a single 22 yr old hinge watching these videos for 2 days now. I've been longing to have a baby since i was 17 and the older i get the stronger the urge is. I have no idea why.
I'm 30 now and I know exactly how you feel. Regardless of my situation there was always this strong urge/longing every couple years. I always thought it was mother nature, I still think so.
I hope will day you guys will be blessed with a healthy baby when the time is right ☺️🤞
As a fellow 22 year old with the same feeling, I feel ya
I am 23, I was 22 when I had my first child last year, and I had the same desire in my young life. And once u do have a child, it will be the biggest accomplishment of ur whole life. Like u can't top bringing a whole human being in the world. And when u do have ur first child it will be the perfect time. Because there's really no ideal time especially as u get closer to the due date, u feel like ur not ready, but after they're born, all those feelings go away, because they're there now!
The only thing I would add as a csection momma would be nursing nightgowns. I took a couple with me. They were basically like a nursing bra with a dress part at the top. I got mine from Walmart actually! They were like $17. I couldn’t stand to wear pants after being sliced through, but wanted to have clothes on for when visitors came. 😂
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I hope I can find them at my Walmart for $17 i refuse to pay $27-$29 & higher even doe I know I will live in them 😂
Did you purchase them online or in the store?
In store!
Great video. Chapstick, pillows and slippers were the top items for me! I wish the hospital gave us clothes for my son because everything we bought for him was wayyy too big.
Aww man! Yea I don’t trust the size “newborn” it ranges from XS to XL!! Lol
I also brought some essential oils and a speaker for my phone so I could listen to soothing music. Both really helped me.
I'm so grateful for your informative and real video posts! I didn't have access to this when I had my firstborn son 16 years ago 😅 I'm now 43 years old expecting my babygirl in 2 weeks 😮my first time I winged it and only brought a going home outfit for me and baby. I had to get a c section and this time around (since mama is older, overweight not trying to make things harder) I'm definitely going to be packing a bag with essentials and I'm having my planned C-section on Halloween 🎃 thank you for the advice it's going to be needed 🎉
I’m due July 28 and idk what I’m gone do or pack I might even over pack so this was a good video ❤️
It’s all About Dime july 28th is my birthday lol
Awwww that's my son bday
My birthday too. Thats a great day😍
My baby due Aug20th
Omg I am as well....I have been sick the whole pregnancy so far. ...what about u?
Chyna Barnes I haven’t been sick at all
I went into preterm labor unexpectedly at 33 weeks. We didn’t have a bag packed. We did have phones, but my husband had to stop at our place to pick up some things (I was airlifted to the hospital, so he had to drive). My mom wound up buying the clothes for us to change into, and brought me some chapstick. My lips were so chapped, it was so painful. I had to use some Vaseline at first because it was all the hospital had. I was so thankful when my mom arrived with the chapstick.
Side note: I was in labor for five days before my son was born, so we were there for a week. Looking back, I definitely would be more prepared (though to be fair, we had no idea I was in labor when we went to the hospital. I thought it was just hip pain, which had been completely normal for me at that point. But, lo and behold, I was already 4 cm dilated when we arrived!)
I just hit my third trimester with first today and am due 9/15/2020 I'm already packing to be prepared for the worst! My boyfriend got his bag done last night and that was super cute lol. He's so excited.
Congrats! If you're planning to breastfeed you might find my tips helpful All the best to you!
Awww we have the same due date. ❤
Awe! I'm due 9/7/2020 can't wait
This video is a lifesaver! I have been trying to figure out what was necessary or not and then came across this video! Thank you!
Girl, I didn't worry about make up, after sweating and going through labor male up was the last thing I worried about! Most of my guess waited til we got home because I never stayed more than 1 day at the hospital!
Been watching since your pregnancy announcement... Now im 2 months and due in april 2021 with my second child.... Im trying to get everything in advance thank you mama
“It was like sleeping on a piece of paper” 😂 Love how honest you are with what to expect!
35 weeks here!! Finishing my bag as I watch this.
Thank you thank you thank you. Just ordered a bunch of stuff using your link. I’m grateful. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I packed and repacked my bag so many times. And giving birth in the middle of this pandemic put a whole new spin on what I really needed and what I thought I needed in my bag (oh the pleasures of anxiety!! NOT!)
Im due Dec. 31 but watching SOOO many videos and looking up so much stuff so i know what to do😂
Congrats! If you're planning to breastfeed you might find my tips helpful All the best to you!

I'm 19.2 weeks inn with my first pregnancy. And planing my bag ... thank you for this and all the other videos ... going in feeling like hay I got this but also completely clueless
The copper pearl beanie is adjustable you can just untie it and tie it closer to his head! I'm 37 weeks with my second and it's a boy so I'm learning all of this as well! Congratulations on the sweet boy!
“It’s all you’re going to wear for the rest of your life” Feels like the truth for me. Went straight from breastfeeding my daughter for 13 months to currently pregnant again with my son. Figured I might as well make them my life now 😂
I LOVED this video and that amazing bag! As crazy as it sounds I had my daughter by csection almost 8 years ago and I wish I was that prepared. Lol. I will say the swaddles, robe, slippers and yoga pants were a must. You look fantastic by the way! More videos please! ❤️👍🏽👍🏽
33 weeks packed and ready thanks for your tips
I am 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby girl! I am so excited to meet with my princess ❤️
30 weeks and I’m already trying to figure out what me and my son needs 💙
I'm 14 weeks 😂I've been planning like I'm 39 weeks lol
Zhanaire lol I just had my son a month ago now 💙 they come fast Enjoy your pregnancy ❤️
@@alexislynne1998 thank you! Congrats on your baby boy❤
Zhanaire ty 💙
I'm due in 3 weeks and 3 days and havent even packed a diaper bag 😅 binge watching these kinds of videos so I can start packing this week because I'm a slacker
Did you get it sorted?! And how did it go?!?! How Are you now?!
@@halloweellahere7602 i finally got everything packed and went into labor oon sept. 19th! I delivered my baby boy on sept. 20th and he is 3 minths old today 🥰💙
K can we talk about your gorgeous hair & get a tutorial/product rundown?! I’m a curly girl too, due July 11th! 🥰💕
Same due date! Best wishes!!
Thank you so much. This was very helpful. I’m 38 weeks!
I need Royce to do one of these for dad’s hospital bag because my husband is procrastinating 😂
Yesss that would be great
20 weeks pregnant I'm so scared about everything what's right what's wrong what to bring ahhhh thanks for all your videos I find them very informative!
I’m due August 7th and so excited☺️❤️thank you for this video x
Wow you guys in America get lots of things provided from the hospital for you and baby! Here in the UK we get nothing- we have to take everything from home and it looks like we are moving into the hospital! Congratulations on your beautiful baby and thanks for your informative videos😊
Loved this!! Im 30 weeks right now, you should do a video about what you regret buying and what you wish you got sooner... Im always thinking if im buying too many things or not enough 😰
Will do! I’m almost at 2 months so I wanted to give us some time to use everything 👍🏽
$150 dollars for a hospital bag?..... No ma’am.
Naraa ok not me 😂🤦🏽♀️
Girllll same thing I said . I showed my husband the bag he was like how much is it ? I looked it up I’m like naw bae we ain’t doing that lol
My thoughts exactly!!
I kinda like it though. 150 for a durable long lasting bag isn’t bad🤷🏿♀️
Not even it 380
I’m 3 months lol and I love watching these ❤️❤️❤️
31 weeks pregnant with my first baby and it’s a boy! This is so helpful for me even tho i’m scared shitless! 😂
Same I’m 38 weeks and it’s my first and I’m also having a boy and I’m constantly between excited and scared af🙃🤣
Lecia Carter yess! Especially being pregnant in new york during this pandemic it’s scary! Congratulations 💜
You got this love!! Praying for all the Mommy’s having to do this during this crazy time! ❤️❤️
I am due next week and i am
So scared so I understand your fear. Having a baby threw this virus will cause extra stress because once the baby is out you can no longer protect it the baby can get sick on his own. It is also my first and i am having a boy.
Rnb fam thank you 💜 god bless, jeraldine i hope you have a safe and healthy delivery i’m conviced god got all of us mommies to be 🤗🥰
Oh my goodness what pregnancy pillow is this? That’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for!
That hospital it’s soo generous 😫💕 I just ask my friend what my hospital gives bc she gave birth on January and I’m due on August and she said NOTHING so I’m doing to need a big bag 😂
Same thing I said. Her hospital was generous. I gave birth at one of top 100 hospitals in the US, but we were told to leave EVERYTHING behind, including the baby clothes and blankets they had my son wrapped in😂
For all 3 past births, I took my birthing ball.
I've had all natural, drug free births and they don't let you eat when you are there either.
I’m curious did you have pain throughout?
Simone’s Faith hell yeah she did she didn’t have no epidural or anything lol
I'm planning on having a natural birth, any tips?
@@cutiepiettie eat a decent meal before going in or smuggle in some snacks... you're going to need them. My labor would probably have gone very differently if I hadn't had coconut water, goldfish, and gummies to sustain me. Even energy gels (the kind that runners use) would probably give you a boost... and they come in all sorts of dank flavors.
@@rosem7042 lol thanks I actually hady daughter 7 months and thankfully we had a natural birth. It was amazing and went better than I thought thank the Lord.
Pretty much same thing. I had the diapers because you still bleed a lot after c section. The only difference is belly band. C section mama needs a good husband because you can’t barely move for the first few days. Lol
Pack a good husband, noted. 🤣🙌🏽 Thanks for the advice ❤️
I’m due September 17th with a baby girl! This video is super helpful
Congrats! If you're planning to breastfeed you might find my tips helpful All the best to you!
15 weeks left !! So excited
I tried do hard to pay attention to what you were saying, but I kept on getting lost and how gorgeous your curls are!
I’m due in 2 weeks (May 30th) a ftm. I need every bit of experience I can get.
My son came a week and 5 days earlier than expected lol. But I had most of everything you said to have in the video
omg i just realized this is bianca, i always watch her curly hair videos
I'm 17 and due nov 23 ... I'm so excited
Had to get this bag! Lol my first time around, i didn’t pack nothing. Has to wait hours for my husband to go home and get me stuff, but now i know better. But this bag was just what i needed lol
I was in labor for 37 hours and only dilated at 7cm and ended up having a Csection. I stayed at the hospital for 5 days. I packed a full hospital bag, but only used flip flops and my phone charger. The hospital provided everything for my postpartum care. I used the peri bottle, mesh underwear, and those long ass pads. They also gave me extra to take home 🙃
They didn’t provide any nipple cream only the gel pads. My nipples were cracked and bleeding due to cluster feeding 😫
I'm 36 weeks pregnant on Monday with my third and my first two babies were both born exactly on their due dates but preemie clothes were all they could wear for weeks. They were both quite small---son was 6lbs 9ozs but dropped down to 5lbs 8ozs by the time we left the hospital, and my daughter was born at 5lbs 6oz and never lost weight. Tip for this is be careful buying preemie clothes because sometimes they are labeled as preemie (4-6lbs) and they are definitely too large for that sized baby. I just ordered over a dozen "preemie" onesies in preparation for a tiny baby again and they are the same size as the newborn ones I already have (possibly even 0-3month sized) so that is super frustrating. I even washed them in hot water and dried them in an attempt to shrink them...to no avail. 😩. So, shop around. And have a variety of sizes, like BR said.
Heads up! Have diapers on hand incase your water breaks they're the best for that! Mine broke early so I was in them for 2 days before I got induced!
make sure your partner has a change of clothes as well!
Danielle Miller thanks for saying this! Making my hospital bag now and I wouldn’t have thought of that!
@@danaezevely4150 of course! good luck with your labor!
Oh my goodness yes! my poor husband had nothing. I would definitely get him a nice cozy blanket and a pillow and his toothbrush.
Agree. & a pillow of their own. Even Just a travel size one.
Instead of having a super long cable, you can get something called a juice bank. You charge it and it 'holds' the power until you want to charge your phone.
Basically you won't be chained to the wall and can charge your phone in bed, inside your purse/bag or wherever you want, well worth it mums to be ❤
“How long are we allowed to blame things on pregnancy brain after being pregnant” 😂😂😂 lmao!!!
I’ve been looking for a nice hospital bag! Just ordered one of these 😊 thanks
I’m 27 weeks and this is really helpful!!
I'm due July 11, thank you for your video it's very helpful.
Due October 19, 2021 💙 (7 more weeks lol) starting to get prepared to pack our bags, I can’t wait 🥰
LOVE your channel! so much quality content ! thank you for this
You are so pleasant to watch!
Lmao! $200-400 for a bag, with a baby on the way is not for me!
Yea not all bags lmao bags just as big n multiple pockets I got for $15
Okay good for you ? She was just saying where she got her bag from this comment was just unneeded honestly lol
Maddie Peters dumbass I’m putting info out for ppl cuz sum ppl watch these videos n think all bags expensive so urs was unnecessary when I was informing someone
Ariel Calfucura you sound mad , this doesn’t make me dumbass but alright .. just say you can’t afford it and move along :)
@@arielcalfucura8493 of course no one is gonna think all bags are effing expensive and not know there are cheaper ones. That is what makes YOU the dumbass! Making a comment THAT stupid! That would mean you think there are people out there that think every single thing is one price - _- fool, if you're gonna step to someone and ruin the lovely positive comment section - try not to make a moronic comment like that
Congrats!! And thank you for this video bc I need this! Currently in the process of packing mine, 6 weeks left until my baby girls arrival 💕🤞🏽
12 weeks to go for me! So excited to start packing.
Number 1 thing I used in my bag was a plug in heat pack. Even with that I was freezing and I will be bringing a blanket this time aroind
Me: looks up baby videos.
Also me: it's 19, forever single and, still in school not planning on having a baby until later on.
