What to bring in your hospital bag

January 27, 2015 · Leave a Comment


I get this question asked to me a lot. What do I bring in my hospital bag? It is a hard question because people have all different lengths of stays in the hospital. Some people can’t wait to get out and they stay the minimum requirement of 4-6 hours and others like the support of a nurse with breastfeeding, infant care and the ability to just have some extra hands and they stay 1-2 nights. Women who have a cesarean birth often stay 2-3 . Of course this is depending on your health and your babies health.
