I so appreciate your chill and laid back approach! I feel like TH-cam can sometimes scare new mom's into packing everything when often you barely need anything. So excited for you guys to welcome baby number two!
I have gone into the biggest deep dive since I found out I was pregnant 😂😂 I’m due August 1 with my first and I have watched so many videos and yours is definitely the best laid back one I’ve found
As a second time mom as well, I recommend a carry on hard-shell suitcase (one fits the whole family, mom, dad, baby) because you can sanitize it in the parking lot and that gives me a lot of peace of mind!
First of all, Congratulations on your baby number two! I am also having my baby number two but it has been a while since I had my baby number one so I have been looking for an honest straightforward what to pack video to bring to the hospital. And this video is just it! I honestly love this! Thank you so much for this!
I love the simplicity! I was getting so overwhelmed with what I should pack! My sister got me a tote big enough for all 3 of our stuff. For sure will invest in those cube organizations bags.
Finally a mama saying using the FREEEE STUFF! Our insurance paid over 2k in Dermablast , pads , breast pumps , witch hazel pads!! , diapers everything guys you are charged anyway souse it guys!!
Little tip for other people some hospitals don’t provide everything so maybe it be good to check with what hospital u are going to before I’m in uk with my first they didn’t provide anything so I had to bring everything
I'm on baby 3 and packed the most in my bag this time. Lol I was so not prepared the first time, and missed some things the 2nd time that I'd really like to have this time (like snacks on hand, a little fan, and more than one option for going home outfit).
Wishing you well on your delivery. Thanks for the tip about the knotted gown & car seat! I’m FTM due 2.19 w baby boy … I just went over my bag again & keeping it simple. Which camera do you use to vlog? I packed my Canon camera + Polaroid camera.
Many hospitals have breast, feeding pillows for mom and baby to use whilst in the hospital. As a neonatal, ICU nurse, a pro temp that some of our moms have shared for women who is producing a decent amount of breastmilk, to pump some out and put it on the pad immediately before using it as it is said to help healing. But only if you are getting a good amount of breast milk. And don’t use the colostrum for that!!
Good to know!!! And yeah our hospital specifically told mamas not to bring breast pumps and stuff like that because they have them for us but that they are more than happy to help instruct you on how you’ll use yours!
Congrats on baby no 2 🎉 I am currently 35+6 and for my hospital bag I packed plastic slippers to go into the shower in them and not barefoot; no robe as it is very warm in the hospitals (at least where I live 😅) and also the afterbirth heat waves vere intense the first time; my husband is going o bring me my going out outfit so I don't have to carry it with me :) ; love that you don't bring makeup, I am amazed by people that want and can throw on full face of makeup just to leave the hospital 😅 good for them but I could never :D ; love the necklace! ; great advice on baby clothes for leaving the hospital 🙂 for me it is also what my husband is going to bring when he comes to pick us up ; I think the only extra thing I have in my bag is eye cover and it is hospitals policy to always have a small light on in every room (in case of emergency) and I had a very hard time sleeping during my first stay as I love to sleep in complete darkness 😅
Except, nothing at the hospital is really free, so if your self pay or don’t want a huge bill after insurance make sure you know what’s covered and what isn’t. 😅

Definitely second this! Some hospitals near me don't even provide diapers for the baby

You make me so excited to be a mama
What about a button up nightgown? Do you just sleep in the hospital gowns?

For me I used the breastfeeding pillow to sit on, especially in the wheelchair it was needed!
Oh I would have never thought of that! That would be a nice cushion lol
Love this so much especially because I'm pregnant with baby #2
Do you have a link for that hello world sign? It’s adorable!

Thank you for the advices ❤
First time watching one of your videos and I thought the dog in the beginning was a stuffed animal at first… freaked me out when he finally moved
Omg what kind of dog do you have??? She looks just like my honey bunny
Where is your necklace from?

I have to pack my hospital bag cause I'm 34 weeks pregnant
I'm just exhausted
As a former employee of the hospital the items they give you is not free. It’s part of the hospital bill that people don’t know about.
So if we're paying for the items even before using them, we might as well take em
Except, nothing at the hospital is really free, so if your self pay or don’t want a huge bill after insurance make sure you know what’s covered and what isn’t. 😅
Except if you actually have insurance all you'll pay regardless is your deductible and i promise you birthing a baby you will max it out every time
@@kaylaciulla3643 The average out of pocket cost of having a baby with insurance in America is $3,000.
I can’t even see the bag
Where is your rug from??
