I know that there are so many moms out there letting you know what they packed in their hospital bag, or what they wish they had packed, but I'm here to let you know what you should avoid packing! I've already shared with you exactly what to pack to make your hospital stay as smooth and comfortable as possible, but in order for my mission to be complete, I have to share my knowledge about what items only get in the way. Trust me!
As a labor and delivery nurse, when I see what some people are packing and lugging into the hospital, sometimes I cannot believe my eyes. You would think that they were on their way to their summer vacation and just happened to stop by the hospital first.
I'll bet those women go home after delivery thinking, "Man, I wish I had known what I actually needed before I packed my hospital bag". Lucky you, you're here now.
If you haven't made your way over to last week's post yet, here is the Free Printable Hospital Bag Checklist to make sure you have everything you need when the time comes to deliver.
