Hello, welcome!
So today I'm gonna try to be as quick as possible
because I have to leave in a little bit less than 30 minutes
and I want to show you all of the things that are in my hospital bag.
So we'll do what's mine and Jenna's and then also the baby bag backpack.
It's really more of just like a diaper bag at this point for the baby for on the way home,
but there's a little bit in there too. So let's get it going.
Okay this is my bag.
So it's just a rolly backpack but I will show you what's in it.
Alright, I'm gonna start with the front pocket.
We'll just put it here.
Okay, first thing is kind of like all of like shampoo, conditioner, stuff like that...
deodorant, dry shampoo. Which I'm really don't use, but I thought you never know.
Yeah, toothpaste, lip balm, nipple cream.
Yeah, that's pretty much that. Next thing I have is this is actually
two different hospital paperworks. Because today is actually February 29 and
so if I had labor before I would be at one hospital
and if it's after then I go to another one.
I don't know if I explained this before but whatever. So I have paperwork.
Next I have this, which is kind of like a Haakka. It's like a fake Haaka.
You know it's like a... I guess it's a breast pump but it's more like a manual one.
I just figured if I need to I can use it. You never know.
Maybe breastfeed on one side... have this on the other.
I don't know, thought I would just bring it. It's small.
Nail clippers.... I have two toothbrushes.
These are just... I wanted to leave our electronic ones here at home.
So these are ones that I got from the dentist a while ago.
So I'm just gonna use those. So hey if you get toothbrushes from the dentist,
don't throw those out. You never know.
Next is called sitz bath spray and really what this is it's like Dermaplast.
I will leave all the links down below. I used Dermaplast with my first baby.
It's like a spray for your vaginal area for you know soothing purposes.
Taking care of all of that and this one is just like a more natural type and it's from Motherlove.
I'm sure the hospital itself probably will have it,
but I'm just gonna kind of keep my own in there, just in case.
I have two different cords here. This one, it's just one.
Yeah I have two of these, but they're like two cords for the phone.
They're really, really long cords and then I have this one which is a microUSB.
I don't know why it's there but if I need it.
Okay that's why it's there. It's for the external hard drive battery.
Um, yeah you never know. I mean maybe you can't plug into the wall or something like that.
You want to walk around with a battery. So that's why we have one. Why not. Another cord.
Oh, here's the shampoo and conditioner and a wet brush... cute... yeah.
Oh, one more thing is $20 worth of quarters. You never know.
You know, you might need the vending machine.
I actually got these from my mom. She gave me money a while ago in a bunch of coins.
So you know I mean works and I would probably just bring some
money with you anyways cause you just never know.
The cafe is closed or I don't know if you didn't bring snacks
or maybe you ate all your snacks and then you're starving and you want the vending machine food
and then you'll be sad if you don't have any coins. Although, a lot of machines now probably accept cards,
but you know never hurts.
Okay so that is everything in the front pocket. Now the big pocket.
I have this which I know it looks really big, but this is just like a USB hub.
So you can plug it into the wall and it has multiple ports that you can use.
We used to have a smaller one that had like four ports and I don't know where it is.
So we got this for Christmas. I thought I'd just bring it with us.
We can just plug one thing in and plug all our other devices in whatever we need.
This is my robe. I bought it from Amazon for really really cheap and it works really well.
I'm five... well five one, five two and right now I'm around a hundred and ninety pounds.
Hey I know... don't judge me.
But I got this and I think it's an extra large. I will put my size and everything down below
so you can just see what it looks like.
It is from Anna King.
So it's pretty much like half sleeve... quarter sleeve
and a little bit past my butt and it's a good size. It's thin. I don't want anything too thick.
So there's that.
Here I just have some maternity leggings
and this is.... just like a tank top.
So this is just a really loose and flowy tank top as you can see.
That's just for after if we're gonna go home. I'll have like a sweater, because it'll be cold.
Just wanted something that was loose and I can pull down if I needed to you know.
I'll probably just use the robe most of the time,
but and this is just my sweater
and here are my slippers.
But they're actually flip-flop slippers as you can see.
The reason why is I actually used these with my first baby. I've had them that long and I love slippers,
but my feet get too hot. So these are nice because they're slippers but they're flip-flops.
So they keep my feet comfortable and warm, yet not too hot and I really like them.
So they're from pink. I don't know. I got them a really long time ago.
So I found them and I cleaned them and now I'm gonna use them and they're ready.
Either I could say you can use the hospital socks or you can use slippers.
I prefer to use slippers. I don't like the hospital socks.
They're just not comfortable for me. I will probably get some
and I will just give them to Jenna because she like them better.
Um, I do have a few different breast pads if necessary. Most of the time I use these...
like currently I'm using them just to cover like the nipple area you know.
But, I mean if there's a leak I guess you can use that but I typically don't.
I just like using them in my like sports bras and stuff like that.
Then I have a bra and underwear for Jenna.
I have... let's see here... uh apparently have another pair of pants
I didn't realize were in there... just leggings.
Then I have a bra and two underwear for me.
Um I'll probably have a bra on when I go and I'll just use that.
Then I have a heating pad. You never know you might need a heating pad.
They do have like those disposable heat packs that you can press on,
but it's just wasteful. So I was informed last time to bring my own heating pad.
If I need it, then I'll have it and that is everything for me.
Honestly you don't really need that much. Pretty much just clothes
and your toothbrush and shampoo and stuff like that... maybe cords.
I mean obviously we'll have like laptop, camera, things like that.
But that's gonna be a last-minute put in because obviously we're still using...
I will bring the laptop and the camera but you know we're still using it right now.
So we're not gonna pack it.
Oh and also one more thing before the baby bag I'm gonna bring.
So that is this...
and this has my breast pump in it.
Now I don't intend on using it in the hospital.
However, you never know. I mean sometimes... if something were to happen
and I'm not able to directly breastfeed then I will use a pump if possible.
So I just wanted to bring my own and then you know the hospital midwife, whatever
they can help me to make sure that I'm using mine properly.
Um... and I have a gosh...
I have a Spectra S1. So that's the blue one.
So it's already charged and I have my flanges ready.
One thing I wanted to recommend is... let me get it for you.
As you can see I have two parts here.
So there are different inserts
that you can get for your flanges because these are twenty fours.
I will go ahead and link the group that I have on Facebook that you can do sizing for breast pumps.
The person there Crystal. She is really great.
She can help you to get the proper sizing for your breast
and you can either pay or do the free one.
But I'll go ahead and link all of that down below just to make sure
you have the proper size because it actually does help a lot.
So I just have the breast pumping bra and all my other things that I need in there.
So there's that.
Okay so what do we have for the baby?
Again, you don't really need that much but I will show you what we have.
So for the baby, this is the exact same backpack that I used for Mikko.
We do have another diaper bag for Mikko himself
that we packed everything... diapers, clothes, shoes, all of that.
Just ready in case we need to drop him off at somebody's house.
But this is gonna be for the baby and eventually I'll probably combine them together.
But we have wipes... obviously.
Really they're not necessary in the hospital. They provide you wipes.
But we just keep them in there anyways because this is a diaper bag.
Then I don't think... yeah there's nothing in there
and in here just nail clippers... baby nail clippers. You never know.
Some babies are born with talons... seriously.
Nothing in there...
and then the big pocket.
Again, honestly you don't need that much.
I would say most things again, honestly you don't need.
But we're just keeping them in the bag just in case you know.
I have two different swaddle blankets.
Funny enough this one is actually Mikko's
and Jenna's mom still has the picture of Mikko in this swaddle blanket on her phone for this whole time.
It's really cute. So you see it's just got a bunch of words on it
and this one just polka-dots I think.. yeah.
So like I said mostly just for pictures or whatever.
I mean if you want to swaddle on your own.
But again the hospital will provide that.
Then I have... I think these are just all... let me see...
these are.... all newborn diapers
Um you know if we need something on the way home.
Honestly again you're not gonna need them cause the hospital provides a bunch.
You can probably take what you want.
But we're just gonna keep them in there for future reasons.
I also need to add in the size one diapers. I bought both you know, cause you never know.
Yes I do have pacifiers.
I actually bought these a long time ago for Mikko.
I don't know why I didn't use them, but Mikko did use a pacifier in the hospital.
Again, the hospital provides those if you want but um...
I just like to have them just in case you know if the baby needs them
um you know for if they have latching problems or whatever.
So it's just good to have those
Then I have a little tiny baby hat. Look how small this is.
Oh my gosh it's so tiny... precious!
Then this... yes, so this is actually something you can put the pacifiers in.
Then it attaches to your bag, but right now I have these pacifier clips.
I have both and which are Mikko's old pacifier clips and they still work so I'm gonna use them.
Then the rest are just clothes. That's pretty much it.
Um let's see here... I got a little jacket.
Just uh you know bought it from the thrift store and a cute little onesie.
Then some baby pants. So cute!
Then just a long-sleeve white onesie,
a little sleeper, and it says my mommy loves me, which is true, we do.
Then this is another sleeper and it looks like has the I love you symbol
but actually just like a hang-ten symbol I guess.
I think that is it.
So, again probably will bring like one or two bottles just in case we feel like,
you know, we can't breastfeed and we need a bottle.
We will leave those in the car with the breast pump.
I'm not just gonna bring it in unless we feel we actually need it.
With this baby bag , I don't know we'll see.
But that is it. Um I have to get going soon for work.
So hopefully you enjoyed this video and
let me know what things you think that I'm missing from my bag.
Is there anything that I need? I'm pretty sure I looked through
my old baby bag hospital video, which I'll put up here.
Um I had a lot of things, but again if I'm induced, then I'll bring things
like games or movies or stuff like that. But it's a totally different story if it's natural.
So generally other than that you just need a baby car seat and I think that's it.
Yeah um, we got a cover for the car seat which it's in the car.
Uh remember, honestly a lot of this stuff you probably don't even need at all.
The hospital provides you, mother and baby, with almost everything that you need.
Other than maybe clothes and shampoo I mean.
You can bring like a pillow if you want to bring your own pillow.
I might bring, one I might not. Honestly it's really not that awful
If you want to bring your own towel you can. But again, I'll just probably...
I don't really care. I'll use the hospital one
Um yeah, so again I will leave links for everything down below.
Let me know if you are pregnant and due soon.
I'm due about two weeks... proximately two weeks from filming this.
So really excited. I'm ready.
I feel horrible and I'm ready.
Thanks so much for watching see you in the next one. Bye!
