I’m currently preparing for Harper’s arrival tomorrow. I can’t believe the day is finally here! I’m super excited and a tad be nervous. Follow me on Instagram (@babyshopa) and on Snapchat (babyshopa) for updates. In the meantime, I thought I would share what I packed for my hospital bag. Since I’m having a c-section, I will be there for 3 to 4 days.
I found this super fly Nicole Miller rolling bag at Tuesday Morning. It was only $30! Perfect for the hospital and weekend travel.
The picture only represents a fraction of what’s in my bag.
Clothing:
- Nursing tank and bra
- Robe for walking the halls
- Maternity leggings
- Maxi dress to wear home
- Hoodie to stay warm
- Non-skid socks
Personal items:
- Toiletries
- Lip balm because hospitals are very dry
- Hair bonnet (Silky Wraps turban pictured)
- Brush
- Glasses
- Id and Insurance info
Gadgets:
- Phone and charger
- Portable charger
- Camera
- Ear buds so I wont have to hold the phone
- Ipad in case I want to watch movies
For Baby:
- Outfit to wear home
- Hats and bows
- Blankets
- Car seat
I’m sure I’m forgetting something. I decided to skip packing makeup. I tried to make myself up after I had Peyton and I look like I was going to be admitted to a mental institution. It’s not worth it. I recently shared tips on What to Wear from the Hospital (HERE). I’m planning to wear a maxi dress home. Am I missing something?
Thank you guys for all the prayers and well wishes for delivery. I can’t wait to introduce Harper to you guys!

September 17, 2015 at 4:00 amGood luck with everything! I just went through a c-section delivery 10 days ago and the one thing I forgot to pack in my bag (that you haven’t mentioned) was underwear…panties to be exact. 🙂

October 2, 2015 at 6:07 pmI just came back to read this post again. I feel like I need to start pulling things together just in case… My last one came earlier than expected and I didn’t have a bag ready. I don’t want that to happen this time. This is a great list, very reasonable! I also never used makeup and will be skipping packing it this time.
