What I Packed in My Hospital Bag

I'm officially almost 37 weeks (I can't believe it!) I've been working on what to pack in my hospital bag for a few weeks. After asking a bunch of friends, and doing a lot of research online, I think I've boiled it down to the necessities (and maybe some superfluous things that sounded good to me, lol). It'll be interesting to see what I actually end up using (maybe I'll do a follow-up post?). Anyway, I hope this helpful for you! xoxo


For you:

• Pajamas- I packed these pants and these pants. As for shirts, I packed this nursing cami, this nursing top, and this button-down nursing top. All black and all in a size or two bigger (you want to be as comfortable as possible)
• Grip socks- In case the hospital floors are slippery. 
• Slippers- I purchased these but then decided to leave them home since I love them. I got black ones from the Gap to bring instead
• Slides- In case I don't feel like wearing slippers or if I want to shower etc. 
• Oversized underwear- I bought these in a large (yup, a large)
• Bra- I'm actually planning on just using these bralettes I own (but if you want to use a nursing bra, bring that)
• Going home outfit- I got this top with these matching joggers
