What's in my Hospital Bag??


What’s in my hospital bag? (First Time Mom)

I’m currently 35 + 6 weeks with my twins and finally nailed down all the things for my hospital bag. Since I’m a first time mom I’m not sure if I over-packed or under-packed but I guess only time will tell at this point. My mom laughs at me, she says “when I had babies, we didn’t bring anything… I went to the hospital, wore whatever they gave me and then your dad just brought me clothes to go home in.” Oh how the times have changed mom! I thought it would just be fun to share what I have and you guys can let me know if I’m missing something or you know of something that worked great for you. Here we go!


This is my hospital bag all put together. 

The opening of my bag. I have depends - I'm not sure how much I'll bleed afterward but I figured I don't want to ruin my own undies if I didn't have to. I know that the hospital provides mesh throw away underwear but I figured I'll have a few options this way.  

Here I have my big comfy PJ pants (boyfriend style) and a large t-shirt (used to be my dad's when I was born). Two nursing bras, Two maternity style undies, Two black compression socks and a fuzzy pair of normal socks. My going home outfit is a grey skirt and rose colored maternity shirt. 

 This is the girls' stash. I have two plush pink blankets for them coming home in as it's still pretty cold here. Two star receiving blankets, little lamb outfits the girls will come home in. The outfits on the right are ones that I want their girls' pictures in. I'm not packing diapers or wipes because the hospital will provide all that and it'll just take up more room in my bag. 

 Lastly I have a smaller bag of toiletries. I have my makeup bag packed - not sure if I'll put it on while I'm there, but knowing me I probably will... I just need to add my toothpaste, contact case, solution and glasses.
