Packing a bag for the Hospital can be very overwhelming! Trust me, I know from experience! I was definitely an over packer. (But that’s nothing new) lol I packed several blue (for boy) duffle bags and my poor hunny and parents had to carry those bags in and out of the hospital for me! Next time I will definitely be bringing a rolling suitcase. It just makes life much easier.
I have tried to make things just a little easier for you as you are preparing for this exciting new journey… Here is my list of what to bring with you to the hospital! I hope this helps friends! Check out the list below…and check out my YouTube Video about this as well!!
