Clothing/Footwear

These are products that were comfortable and helpful while I was in the hospital for labor and delivery.

Regular hospital gowns are stiff and rough against the skin. Absolutely loved my Mom Frida Labor Gown and had no issues with it when I had to get a second c-section during my labor and delivery. Highly recommend!

Frida Mom Labor and Delivery Hospital Gown

If you want to be comfortable and stylish for labor I would recommend this labor and delivery gown! This was the print I got for my first pregnancy and the gown was super soft and stretchy. It also was very easy to provide skin to skin and breastfeed...

GINKANA Labor and Delivery Hospital Gown

After delivery you want to wear something comfortable while you recover and enjoy newborn snuggles. I love these pajamas as they're super soft, stretchy and have cute designs. Make sure you get the button up ones for easy access for breastfeeding/ski...

Joyspun Pajamas & Loungewear

I am all about comfort and these socks are sooo soft and safe to use at the hospital thanks to the non-grip texture on the bottom. Plus, the bright colors are fun to wear too! I also get a lot of use out of these at home during the colder months sinc...

Cozy Non-Slip Fuzzy Socks

I packed a swing dress for my going home outfit because it helped me feel put together, yet was still super comfy as it was flowy around the mid section. Also, it was super easy to pull down the top if you need to breast feed or pump.

GINKANA Sleeveless Maternity Dress

Super affordable and comfortable nursing bra! This is perfect for wearing around the house and out to run errands.

Auden - Nursing Seamless Bra

Love this pumping bra! I used it while I was in the hospital and had access to the hospital grade breast pump to get my milk supply going since I had issues with latching. 10/10 would recommend!

Momcozy - Pumping Bra

If you want an affordable nursing bra that's wireless but still gives a nice lift, I love this brand/style! They usually have some fun prints available too if you want a change from the neutral colors that nursing bras usually come in.

Auden - Wirefree Nursing Bra

Definitely worth the investment with these shoes! They are the most comfortable pair of shoes you'll ever wear and are so perfect during/after pregnancy. I got mine in the wide version so they were comfortable even when my feet were swollen. They com...

Brooks - Adrenaline GTS 23

Don't forget to bring shower shoes! These are nice because they have holes in the soles so water can drain out while you shower and they are non-slip!

Non-Slip Flip Flops

Electronics

An essential item and something to capture some of your first memories with your baby.

There's something about Polaroids that makes pictures just a little more special. I brought my Instacare camera with me for both my deliveries and can't wait to show the pictures we took to our kids when they're older. Also, fun for visitors as they ...

Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera

Airpods are great to have if you want to listen to music or watch videos while the baby or your partner is sleeping and to hear better on phone any calls you makes to family/friends.

AirPods

Since you'll be in the hospital bed a majority of your stay, you'll want a long charger so you can easily charge your phone if there's a not a free outlet close by.

10 Foot Iphone Charger

Toiletries

These are products I would recommend outside of the normal toiletries (shampoos/body wash/toothpaste, etc.) you should pack.

Trust me, you're going to want your hair up and out of your face at some point during labor and these silk scrunchies are super comfortable and don't pull on your hair too tightly when you tie it up. Plus, they're very easy to take out so you don't h...

KITSCH Scrunchies

Maybe it's just me, but I always feel so dry when I'm in the hospital. This lip masks is amazing and lasts throughout the night so I wake up feeling and looking great! Love alll their flavors/scents too, but I specifically brought the Berry Lip Mask ...

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

You're most likely not going to have a lot of counter space in the hospital, so a hanging toiletry bag is super helpful. It's especially useful in the bathroom to keep your things dry and clean.

Hanging Toiletry Bag

Miscellaneous

These are items I didn't think about the first time around, but were nice to have at the delivery of my second baby!

You're going to be getting a lot of paperwork from the hospital as well as sentimental items for baby (footprints, birth card, etc.) and don't want those to get crushed or lost on your way home. Having some sort of document holder for these items is ...

Document Holder

Don't forget to pack snacks! The hospital has some snack options for mom, but I would highly recommend bringing snacks you enjoy. Make sure dad brings snacks for himself as well in case he gets hungry when the cafeteria is closed or if your hospital ...
