This is a very important video especially for first time moms not knowing what they will need/want

[@mamanursetina]

Thank you!

[@amyheinrichs6275]

One thing you didn’t mention is a white noise or sound machine. Definitely a must for lots of people! I am a third time mom, baby boy 3 due in June and this video was really helpful. I will be using this to help me out with my hospital bag checklist!

[@mamanursetina]

Oooooh that would be a great suggestion!!

[@chelseaforster5163]

I brought Gu (the stuff marathon runners eat during races) to my last delivery (baby #5 and an induction). It worked amazingly well to boost my energy and is still *technically* a liquid. There’s nothing worse than having a long labor and running out of energy because you cannot eat.

[@mamanursetina]

Yes yes yes!

[@69Hell666]

2 things I was recommended and cannot recommend enough: super thick and soft toilet paper and a Péri bottle to rinse the vulva each time after using the restroom. Long live Pijamas! I did get out of the hospital in one! Can't remember if I had no more clean pants or if I just really wanted that comfort! 😂

[@lizzietieu1]

I am starting to packing now at 37 weeks. The video helps a lot. Thank you

[@lionelheisler4887]

This is a treasure trove of really good advice, tysm!

[@mamanursetina]

♥️

[@69Hell666]

What about leg compression socks? My physical therapist says it's a must and so does my birth nurse

[@bfam7492]

Great ideas! Thank you ❤

[@ermabrooks4105]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@mamanursetina]

My pleasure

[@jennyfalcone7521]

Depends underwear are amazing after delivery. Then you put the hospital size pads on top. If they get bloody you throw it all out.

[@mamanursetina]

Love that. Depends are amazing too!

[@chickytendy5513]

I bought a cheap nightgown with a low back for my labors. That way I could throw it or it could get cut if needed. 💁🏼‍♀️

[@mamanursetina]

Also a great idea!

[@johnnyb48]

Your videos are helping a lot! From Brody

[@mamanursetina]

♥️♥️♥️

[@Gajanan4568]

I added one more thing, which was Peri bottle.

[@mamanursetina]

Ah I have one of those on the postpartum basket list for at home because most times the hospital provides it! But if they don’t yes 10000% add that in!!

[@69Hell666]

Just like me!

[@brownskin_eve]

What if you are having a winter baby . What kind of hospital bag will you pack?

[@brittdoza]

I wish this was all in a checklist

[@ekatrinya]

I haven't finished the video yet so maybe she says this lol But bring an extension cord. The outlets at the hospital were no where near the bed. I brought a really long extension cord and it still was juuussst long enough which was very surprising. I was stuck in the hospital for 3 days so it was a godsend.

[@mamanursetina]

I didn’t mention extension cord but do mention a long long phone charger!

[@esmy8053]

Those compression underwear was from the brand knix right? That has been one of my biggest hurdles. Trying to find out what is best to heal your body in regards to griddles, wraps, etc

[@mamanursetina]

You bet. Those are from Knix

[@Ashley_Spilks]

What is the brand of the PJs you mentioned !? Thank you !

[@mamanursetina]

The pricier bamboo ones are called This is J and the less expensive ones that are still so so comfy (I still wear them weekly not pregnant!) are from baby be mine boutique! Here’s the link to those: www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZPD4LDY/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_H8JWDHY11TXFWSF1QHF2?linkCode=ml2&tag=christinabi06-20

[@ekatrinya]

Personal opinion, everyone told me to get adult diapers and I did. But when the time came, I loved the mesh panties! I wore them for weeks lol I took so many home.

[@mamanursetina]

Yes yes yes you’re speaking my language. I am fan of mesh panties, the adult diapers never really fit comfy!

[@fluffy9633]

Fun fact I predicted my friends mom was pregnant and guess what they announced 2 months later? That they were 3 months pregnant with twins

[@AVisionInFur]

Sleep mask-especially if you have a window overlooking a parking lot or other building because shades/blinds are not enough. (Then again, I can’t stand even just the teeny tiny light on smoke detectors.)

[@mamanursetina]

Haha I am same same. Its blackout blinds or nothing for this girl!

[@69Hell666]

Same for me, but I was so exhausted I ended up not using it much

[@MP-ck7kr]

Is there something we need for the baby to bring to the hospital? Like baby clothes, diapers, bottles etc?

[@mamanursetina]

I have a whole video on packing a bag for baby ♥️ scroll down a bit farther, baby bag essentials!

[@GingirGhoststar]

What is your opinion on period panties for after?

[@mamanursetina]

I don’t think they will be enough for the first 3 or so days. After that a really heavy flow one might be ok but you’ll be changing and washing a lot. Once the flow settles they would be my go to

[@GingirGhoststar]

@@mamanursetina thank you!!

[@freedomfields5569]

Why are we packing sunscreen for the hospital?

[@mamanursetina]

Oh that’s just part of my everyday skincare I don’t skip. I still wear spf daily cause even inside with windows I try protect my old skin 😂

[@noyahb]

I Feel Like 1st Time Mom Again 😅… It’s Been 13yrs…

[@YourBoiAlex18]

I sometimes lock my jaw or bite hard when in pain, is there anything I can bite down on like those chew toys for humans?

[@amayasasaki2848]

Look up chewlery

[@mrs.k7381]

You mentioned no onesies for skin to skin contact? What do you recommend instead?

[@rebeccastanley9920]

While they’re in the hospital still, a diaper and a few blankets will probably be enough. If they’re diapered and swaddled, then everything is covered (minus the head/hat) and kept warm, and if baby needs a check-up or skin-to-skin, all you have to do is undo the blanket.

[@mrs.k7381]

@@rebeccastanley9920 thank you 😊

[@mamanursetina]

A naked baby!

[@mamanursetina]

Yes ma’am! A diaper and that’s about it! Blanket over the two of you ♥️

[@mrs.k7381]

@@mamanursetina thats what we did 🥰

[@zx1906]

Hold on - do north american hospitals not offer nursing pillows? Literally every hospital I’ve worked at in Germany and Austria had them for the moms. 🤯

[@amayasasaki2848]

Nope, not standard in USA. Gotta bring your own

[@69Hell666]

Not standard in France either

[@mythiccstallion]

Never considered ear plugs or a water bottle
