Things to bring with you to the hospital, that you won’t think of
I found a great list of items that you should bring with you to the hospital when you are about to deliver.
1. Snacks, labor can take a while and you will want to have something that you like to eat not just something that your hubbie or partner can pick up around the corner.
2. Water, if you are used to your filtered water at home, then you better bring some of it with you. Otherwise you’ll be left drinking stuff that looks like water but doesn’t taste like water.
3. Lollipops or sucking candy, to keep your mouth moist.
4. Lip Balm, to keep your lips moist.
5. Your labor coaches favorite snack, reward the one that is helping you out.
6. Your pillow, there’s nothing like putting your head down on your own pillow.
7. Slippers and warm socks, in all likelihood the hospital is going to be cold and feet are hard to warm up once they get cold. Make sure to keep your feet warm…
8. Camera, or video camera, even if you aren’t going to get pictures of the pop itself, you’ll want to get a shot of your husband passed out on the floor.
9. Ipod/MP3 player, tunes- you gotta have the tunes.
10. Infant car seat to bring your baby home safely.
