Hospital "Go-Bag"

I read a lot of articles on things women wished they had brought to the hospital and what many consider the 'must-haves', and then I started building my go-bag. I didn't really have a set of luggage i wanted to cart to a hospital or anything, so i splurged and bought a duffle ($23) and a new toiletry bag ($11) and mostly new everything to put inside of it, BUT you can totally pull from what you already have.

I've hyperlinked all of my amazon purchases, and marked prices.

What's in my bag?

Left pocket: Baby essentials (1 swaddle, 2 outfits, and a wristlet with some diapers/wipes)
Right Pocket: Snacks, Charger, Papers (our birth plan), I also tossed a massage tool ($16) in here, and will be adding a coloring book and puzzles book
The Main Pocket: 2 soft V-neck dresses (for nursing- $11 each), 1 comfy dress (for labor), a robe and slippers ($18)
Not Pictured: I also fit my toiletry bag and a towel and washcloth.

*Every compartment is half full or less, and there's a pocket on the front i haven't used at all.

Paper:
You'll want 2-3 sets of your papers for doctors, nurses, and dear husband

• The Birth Plan
• Any redeemable certificates from enfamil and gerber
• Any signs like "No bottles" "Uncircumcised", etc. 

Toiletries:
*I ordered all my favorite travel-sized things at Drugstore.com

• Hairbrush & Hairties
• Toothpaste/Toothbrush
• Deodorant
• Lip Balm
• Nail Clippers
• Shampoo/Conditioner
• Body wash or soap
• Lotion
• Makeup

Comfort:

The biggest regrets women seemed to have was that the hospital is cold and uncomfortable and products available are meant to be cost effective.

• A Robe
• Slippers and/or warm socks
• Your Own Towel (The hospital one will be thin)
• Labor Gown? If you'd like to wear your own clothes, might as well make them easy to find
• Back Massager- This is going to be last minute for me because i use it almost everyday

Little Things:

All the electronics I might want are built into my phone, but i did put a wall charger in my go-bag.

• Camera 
• Music
• Entertainment- like a book of mind puzzles, adult coloring book, or novel
• Snacks- for you and for hubby! *Packing them in a gallon zip bag also gives you a place to put anything gross- like a soiled onesie!

Going Home:

• 2 Baby Outfits (in case one has an...unfortunate accident)
• Hat
• Receiving Blanket
• Clothes for yourself
• A going home outfit
• A maternity or sports bra
• Underwear- i bought myself a 5-pack of my favorite panties (most comfortable) in black, but know that those first days are essentially a mess, so I packed some depends silhouette samples in my go-bag
