After finishing our Childbirth Preparation Class, I decided to make my hospital bag checklist. Here's a conversation I had with my mother about packing Hospital Bags:
Me: I'm going to pack my hospital bag this week.
Mom: Don't pack too much. There will be no one to watch your stuff while you're sleeping.
Me: DH will be there while I'm sleeping.
Mom: What about when he goes to get food or coffee or something?
Me: There's room service. Why would he have to leave?
Mom: To go out and get fresh air. You know, he can't stay in the room all the time.
Me: Why not?! I'm going to!
And then I realized something very important. Even my own mother has different standards for daddies and mommies.
I'm going to pack a lot of stuff because I'd rather have something I need than send someone out to get it for me!
Here are a few other good resources for Hospital Packing Lists:
