Extension Cords
For me I cannot shower in the hospital barefoot so shower sandals is a must for me
Shower Shoes
I like some cozy slippers to wear around the hospital room for some cushion & comfort! & it doesn’t have to be expensive got mine from Walmart on clearance!
House slippers
For me this is a must because the peri bottle in the hospital will not do, and the hospital underwear they give you aren’t secure enough for me. I prefer the Frida mom because they’re tight and it keeps my pad in place! Also, the ice pad are game cha...
Labor and Delivery + Postpartum Recovery Kit - Frida
I brought a bath towel from my home because the hospital towels are itty bitty! A BATH towel, not a regular towel, bath because it’s large and will wrap around my whole body even when I’m huge w/ a pregnant belly! A MUST!
Bath towel
I brought two pajamas sets because I find I only need to pack two, I got mine from Amazon! I went w/ shorts rather than pants because I’m usually not cold in the hospital.

I bring two pairs of socks w/ me. Yes the hospital has socks but they aren’t fitted and will fall off in your sleep too annoying for me to be bending down so I bring my own!
Socks
I started bringing a Polaroid camera w/ me to my labor and delivery for my third and fourth baby.. This is now a tradition because the memories you capture are priceless and I use them in my baby scrap book. I love the vibe and look of it & all t...
Polaroid + Film
A welcome board is a must, this is the one I got, it’s two sided w/ either a black side or grey! I use it to introduce the baby when born w/ his name reveal, weight DOB and height! The variety of fonts and words is crazy I love it!
The baby’s Welcome sign
I bring a tripod because I like to capture memories and I like filming content with my fiancé :)
Selfie Stick Tripod with Light & Remote

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask with Vitamin C & Shea Butter
Extra hair ties are a must for when I need my hair out of my face!
Extra hair ties
I always bring a travel kit to the hospital because I prefer better quality shampoo/conditioner over what they over at the hospital. Also it’s easier to bring this than trying to pack my full size items in my hospital bag that barely has room! This i...
Toiletries
This nipple cream has worked in the past so I won’t fix what’s not broken! Another must for a breastfeeding mama!
Organic Nipple Cream
I absolutely love this spray for after birth! It is cool and soothing for your sore/beat up vagina!
Postpartum Perineal Pain Relief Spray
I brought this heartless curling set this time around for that after birth photo and I do not regret real easy and no work to it!
Heatless Curling Set
This is another item I bring to make the hospital stay not so dreading. After my first shower after birth I put this one and it makes me feel normal again!
Lotion
Prenatal vitamins although im no longer pregnant I do breastfed so I still take them and I pack them w/ me for my hospital stay. I will say these are the ones I get for no reason other than they’re the cheapest and I like affordable things!
Prenatal Vitamins
I got my hand sanitizer from 5/below and i love the scent cucumber so I always gravitate towards this scent! It was cheap and a must for when people come to meet the baby, it is always right next to me on my little table!
Hand Sanitizer
Perfume is another one of those things that make me feel normal and is a must for me. This is hands down one of my favorite affordable perfumes! I absolutely LOVE this scent!!
Perfume
Hair gel to make my hair look better, DEVACURL is THAT product!! Love this brand, have been using it for YEARS! Smells so good and leaves my curls looking the best they ever have!
Hair gel
The flavor I brought to the hospital was this popsicle flavor because it was $19 for a 30 pack! Crazy!! However some of the flavors I like are blackberry, peach, strawberry, golden cherry and acai berry! & of course this is a must for breastfeedi...
