My Hospital Bag For My Second Pregnancy and Delivery

// this post contains affiliate links which cost you nothing extra but allow me to help support my little family //

It's that time – that time when I'm far enough along in my pregnancy that everyone starts bugging me about packing my hospital bag. Last time around, I did a pretty good job of not over or under packing and I feel like this time, I'm even better prepared to pack only what's needed.

So, without further adieu, here's my hospital bag for my second pregnancy and delivery (please keep in mind that I am low-maintenance and planning on a vaginal birth, breastfeeding, and going home the same day):

My Hospital Bag For My Second Pregnancy and Delivery #labor #delivery #hospitalbag #baby #pregnancy #laboranddelivery #hospitalbag

For Me (in a small tote bag):

  • Wallet (with military ID and insurance card)
  • Purple passport (a little booklet with all my OB/GYN records in it)
  • Cell phone (with wireless charger)
  • Laptop and/or tablet (with charger)
  • Pillow + Blue Blanket
  • iPod (head phones and charger)
  • Camera (and charger)
  • (5) Copies of birth plan (for basically everyone)
  • Water Glass (I prefer this one from Starbucks but a bottle is great to have, too)
  • Nipple cream (they give you a sample at the hospital but I prefer this one from The Honest Company)
  • Baggu bag (to pack the crap the hospital sends home with us)
  • Robe (to wear in hospital – these ones are more comfortable than the ones they issue)
  • Flip flops (my feet swell badly after labor and delivery)
  • (2) Yoga pants (one to wear at the hospital and one to wear home)
  • (2) Nursing tank tops (one to wear at the hospital and one to wear home)
  • (1) Cute tank top (to wear home)
  • (1) Cardigan (to wear home)
  • (6-7) Sets of giant scary underwear
  • (2) Nursing bras
  • Hairbrush
  • Toiletries (travel size) in cosmetic bag: concealer, mascara, blush, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, face wash, mousse, chapstick, nail clippers, lotion, tissues, deodorant, contact solution, eyeglasses, spare contacts, hair ties, Q-tips

For The Boy (in a small backpack):

  • Admission paperwork
  • Contact list (people to call after Baby Voldemort is born)
  • Wallet (with IDs and cash/coins for vending machines)
  • Cell phone (with wireless charger)
  • iPod (head phones and charger)
  • Tablet (with charger)
  • (2) Sets of clothes
  • Travel size toiletries
  • Pillow + blanket
  • Mini cooler with water, fruit pieces, and general snacks (for labor and postpartum stay)

For Baby Voldemort (in the diaper bag):

  • Quilt (I make one for each of my babies)
  • (2) Thin muslin blankets
  • Going home outfit (I pick out something special and then frame it in a shadow box afterwards)
  • (2-3) Onesies or gowns (some hospitals have them for you but pack a couple just in case)
  • (1) Hat (in case the hospital one gets icky)
  • (3) Socks
  • (2) Mittens
  • Boppy Pillow (I loved mine for breastfeeding and just general baby holding)
  • Car seat (already installed in car)

Things you DO NOT need:

  • Diapers
  • Wipes
  • Baby nail clippers
  • Washcloths
  • Formula
  • Pacifiers
  • Special clothes for labor and delivery
  • Pads
  • Nipple pads
  • Breast pump

The hospital has all these things for you and it's built into the cost of your stay so USE THEIR STUFF. And the fancy birthin' clothes? Bitch, PLEASE. You know that shit just gets poop/pee/blood all over it and then you'll be the one washing it. WEAR THEIR STUFF.
