Hospital Bag Essentials Checklist

Hospital Bag Essentials Checklist

Not quite yet ready for baby? (will we ever be?) I've put together a little hospital bag checklist I think will help you to stay organized for what could be an impromptu late-night trip to the hospital!

If you're anything like me, as an expecting mamma-to-be, you're probably feeling overwhelmed and ill-prepared. Even though I'm a super organized person and very Type A (I actually like to call myself "Type AA") I still don't feel perfectly ready for my much-anticipated little bundle. With a little help from Pinterest, some common sense, and great advice from seasoned moms, I've come up with what I think is a comprehensive list of the staples I'll need to prepare for our hospital stay.

I wanted to share with my readers because I know so many of you are in the same boat. So enjoy and please feel free to leave a note in the comments if I've missed anything essential. I'd love to hear about what you packed (or are packing) in your hospital bag. It's almost go time - three more weeks!

And for those of you wanting to feel extra on top of it through the end, check out my Third Trimester Checklist below. This is a compilation of things I thought have been, or will be, helpful as we round out anticipating baby.

Good luck with your delivery, and again, please feel free to add to these lists in the comments below!

xo,

Rya
