Would love a video where you revisited this and talked about what you didn’t need and what you wish you’d brought! I’m a FTM and love these.

I brought makeup in my bag and I was glad I did... It felt really nice to be able to shower and get ready after baby was born.

[@LuckyMama923]

I would recommend the stool softener. Believe me...you do NOT want to push anything after having a baby. It is painful. I think you did an amazing job packing otherwise. Good luck!!🥰

[@ljpebz5014]

I’ve not had kids, but had major abdominal surgery, took me several weeks to not cry when I had to bm- so certainly agree with this!

[@nancybraget6006]

I totally agree!

[@whatgwenloves]

Yes 1000%. It's not like a laxative. Just helps there be less pushing involved post birth. Both c section and vaginal births here. I was so thankful for it in both situations

[@bhofeverything1808]

What stool softener do you recommend?

[@AnnabelleKerz]

A note on medications since you'll be in the hospital, they might not let you take your own medicine unless you disclose it ahead of time. If they're giving you meds there might be interactions between meds that could be bad.

[@roxanavalladares7341]

I really suggest baby hats because in the hospital they have the AC on to cold sometimes and babies loose heat through there head. And they look cute on mama’s choices anyway.

[@AC-iw5mv]

Yes!

[@bees_nail_art82]

My nurse told me to remove my sons hat as it might suffocate him 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@uzihsn]

All the best Nikole 👍 I wish we had KZbinrs like you 12 years ago when I was delivering my baby. Would have been so helpful back than. So excited for the new addition in your cute family. Take whatever you feel like taking its quite hard to get anything from outside during these COVID days. So just relax and enjoy this new experience and don’t take people’s opinion so seriously. That’s my number 1tip for you ❤️

[@ChristinaTruong1]

Baby Acorn's arrival is so soon! I know you'll be busy once she gets here but hopefully you can do a video of what you ended up not using or should've brought, those are always interesting to watch 💕🥑

[@SamElle]

THIS IS SO SO EXCITING!!! I wont need a hospital bag for a LOONG time but I guess it's never too early to be prepared

[@awhippersnapper]

So exciting!!! One thing that a nurse told me was that I paid for everything in the room so use/keep it! And they have most things if you need something you didn’t bring.

Mama of 2 here- I recommend a comfy blanket for you and your own pillow☺️ Good on you for bringing multiple sizes of baby clothes. My 2nd was 7lbs and stayed in newborn size clothes for the first full month.

[@awhippersnapper]

Oh yeah, pillow and blanket for sure!

[@annarocha3254]

Most hospitals aren't currently allowing that because of COVID unfortunately. 😩

[@limaferm]

I hope you read this comment, and I'm sure you've done your research, but I wouldn't use the peppermint after the baby is born, even for headaches because it can cause your milk to dry up. It is actually a recommended oil to reduce milk production. FYI I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my third and I love watching all your vlogs since I've been following your channel for a long time. Congrats on the baby girl 🥰

[@suzannelong9245]

I’d be afraid the oil would accidentally get on baby and burn her skin.

[@Kalifa_TriniMom]

U will need to do a what i didn't use in my hospital bag video loll. Have a safe delivery

[@sarahr7279]

I'm done having babies but I'm excited for you and love seeing what you picked out for your baby girl. I'd definitely suggest a good nursing bra. I thought the same thing with the sports bras and for me at least, they were a total pain and uncomfortable with my changing body. Looks like you really thought out what you would like. Wishing you a safe and healthy delivery!

[@alanattaylor]

Hey lady! I know this is an older video but I’m currently 33w pregnant and came across your video and thought I would throw in something in relation to the acupressure mat! I actually have one I used to use religiously before pregnancy but on the original acupressure mat (shakti) website it says specifically not to use when pregnant. I sought advice from a physio and they suggested definitely not to use it on the lower back at all through pregnancy because it can induce labour. They said to make sure the lower back wasn’t on the mat at all and just to use it from mid back upwards. Just thought I’d add that incase someone goes out to get one! :)

[@vanessausunariz1418]

You will need nursery bras your breast need the space(The sports bra can cut off the circulation to the underarm nodes and clog the milk in the armpits in a matter of minutes. It's hard to dissolve them and it's because of the bra, I don't recommend it ...). A full packet of nappies (the baby will need to be changed every time you'll feed her so minimun 8 nappies per day). Baby clothes that open on both legs (when the baby is so small is easier to change). The baby light you got on the baby shower will help you at night feeds (low light don't wake up enterely, so you will sleep best) hospital light's can wake your baby when a nurse comes.

[@marissaperkins6513]

Great education that first time moms may not know. I am a RN studying as a midwife and this info is very helpful.

[@bees_nail_art82]

Definitely use clothes that are easy to open when nappy changing at night especially I like the knot gowns

[@larissaleigh4488]

My whole life I kinda didnt like kids and never wanted them but honestly lately I really feel like it would be a beautiful and natural thing to be a mother. Idk I'm only 16 but like lowkey I really want to be a mother. Anyways congrats on baby Sage, you're both so beautiful and i bet you're going to be an amazing mother 😁

Bring all the snacks!! I had my baby girl in June and after being 9cm dilated I needed an emergency c section and ended up being in the hospital for 4 days unexpectedly. My husband and I lived off snacks because the hospital food isn’t that great and the portions were small.

[@rebekah_bradley]

Yes!! All the snacks! I was sooooo hungry!!!

[@rebekah_bradley]

Love those oils! Claraderm was perfect for “down there”! No tearing for me!Lavender and peace and calming were amazing after I gave birth! So peaceful. Peppermint is incredible but be mindful cause it might dry up your milk supply!

[@gabydoss2027]

Mama you take what you need and makes you feel better! I definitely overpacked but I rather over pack especially bc of covid! I recommend depend women diapers they were an absolute life saver for me, I wore them for 2 weeks they secured me so much. The mesh moved on me and I leaked😬 Also I recommend body armor drinks to start producing milk those helped me so much! Good luck mama you got this, this is the best experience of your life❤️🤱🏼

[@allysonelaiho8605]

Hey Nikole 😊😊😊😊 I’m so excited for you!!! I would recommend bringing your prenatal vitamins. It is recommended to take them when breastfeeding.

[@laurenmichelle4253]

I was gonna say this too! I continued to take the prenatals for the 9.5 months I breastfed.

[@limaferm]

It would also be a good idea to ask the hospital first. Here in the US, at least where I have delivered before, they don't let you take your own medicine or supplements because they need to know exactly everything you are given. That has been my prior experience, so it would be good to check.

[@lauramarbury9865]

You will for sure want the stool softener but the hospital will provide it. Going to the bathroom after pushing out a baby is no joke. Loved the video and thought you did a great job.

[@joannepope5915]

Your hospital bag is amazing and your going to be a amazing mum and Matt is going to be a amazing dad xx

[@paigee8297]

So sweet! One suggestion bring a few socks for baby. I was in the hospital for three days with my sister and her new born. Between the nurses in and out and feeding and changing they really do not wear clothes at least for the first day or so. Probably will be fine in the swaddle. But may be worth reconsidering the socks. So excited for you! Can’t wait to see lil baby acorn !! Congrats to you and Matt!!!💕

[@ellahigh1887]

Yay, so happy you uploaded. Can't wait until baby girl is here✨💕

[@vanessausunariz1418]

Hoping everything goes well and is fast .... You need to prepare for 2-3 days for a natural birth, 1 week (5-7 days) for a cesarean you could start ok but need an emergency cesarean section. These are the usual stay times after a hospital delivery.

[@kaylas6800]

I remember wearing patchouli one day at work and a guy I worked with was like “sniff sniff” is that patchouli I was so impressed 😂

[@arlh2309]

I had my baby in the summer and it was warm so no socks for me, I was sweating most of the time 😂 lip chap is a must. My lips were sooo dry. Comfy clothes for sure. I actually liked the hospital gown it was very comfy...I wanted to take it home 😂 I barely used the stuff I took in my bag. My hospital pretty much supplied anything we needed. We are in Canada as well 😊 Also for my partner her brought some comfy clothes and headphones. I didn't bring any makeup, didn't have time and honestly didn't think about it. I just used the peri bottle from the hospital and it works good. The mesh underwear from my hosptial was 👌👌👌I took some home with me and was sad when I ran out. It will all go by so fast! Wishing you the best of luck. 😊

[@suzannelong9245]

Not sure about Canada but here in the states the hospital supply’s you with a lot of the things you brought.

I have 7 kids and besides toiletries and night wear. Every thing else in my hospital bag was a waste. Minimalist as possible.

Thank you so much for this this video. I am also expecting and this been more helpful that the other videos I watched. Wish you safe delivery ♥️

[@BlackIris23]

The nipple soreness is because of baby learning to latch, has nothing to do with your milk coming in. They will be sore! Buy nursing bras asap the sports bras may restrict milk flow and may cause clogged ducts. Sleep nursing bras or tanks are the most comfortable in the first week postpartum. Best of luck to you! Can't wait to meet baby acorn.

[@heathergray671]

Can you do an update on what you actually used versus what you brought? Would you change anything you packed or wish you had added?

So my original due date was a day after yours. Well....baby had other plans and decided to come early. He was born 9/26. 6 weeks early! Thankfully he didn’t have any issues and we only had to spend a week in the NICU. Unfortunately we didn’t have any of our bags packed before I went into labor. (Planned on doing that the next day.) I had a list of things I wanted to bring so I looked at that and only grabbed the essentials. Honestly the hospital provides all the necessities, everything else is just nice to have.

Don’t bring meds! The hospital will have everything you need. You don’t want to risk having an interaction with something they don’t know you are taking. That includes vitamins!

[@kaylalouise6014]

I began packing my hospital bag at 33 weeks. If I had known I was going to deliver my son at 34 weeks, I would of started packing in my 2nd trimester. For future, I’m going to pack early and I’ll be coming back take reference this video. The only thing in my bag I had was my toiletries and clothes. I didn’t get to pack anything else. Including a baby bag I didn’t have the time to pack one beforehand. I’m worried about having another premature baby so I won’t pack last minute.

[@shramanapaul8313]

Loads of love to you ♡

[@momlifeplansonline]

You will definitely want to have a stool softener. They will probably give you one in the hospital too. I would recommend taking zipper sleepers rather than shirt and pant outfits for the baby, as it is just so much easier. In the hospital here (in Calgary, Alberta), they actually don’t dress the baby in clothes at all and just swaddle them in a diaper with two of the hospital swaddle blankets (of course you can use your own blankets if you want). You will be feeding the baby every 2-2.5 hours in the beginning, and will undress them each time for skin to skin anyway, so it honestly is easier while you are at the hospital to just swaddle the baby without clothes. I had a c-section with both of my babies, so my recovery process was slightly different to what yours will be, but I have heard from friends that you will need the Frida baby spray bottle because you will not be able to wipe yourself with toilet paper after giving birth, so that is what you use to clean yourself up after going to the toilet for the first while. Also, here, you need to bring extra diapers, as they give you some to start off with, but once you finish those, you have to use your own. I would also highly recommend bringing nursing bras to the hospital. For a first time mom, you have not overpacked as much as most moms (including myself when I was there) do!

[@lillian7411]

What food did you eat after sage was born? Like in the hospital and did you bring your own food? We are going to a birthing center and bringing our 3 boys so I have to prep food for them for at least a day and maybe a half. But just wanted to know what you ate.

[@pamelac8591]

I never comment, but ..... sore breasts?? Oh yes! I swear by coconut oil to relieve any pain, chapped skin, or worse. The lanolin would stick to my bra or pads and cause even more pain. Of course everyone's body is different, but that really helped me get through breastfeeding with baby #2 and I felt more safe using something natural. And...an incredible lactation nurse if you need it. Saved me from giving up 👍 So exciting!

Yeah honey you said it you literally have no idea!! Bugger all those oils for "down there" Dermoplast will be your best friend and its not all natural, you will be using the Hospital pads after delivery because those teeny all natural ones wont cut it. I completely understand taking everything you may need as you cant leave the Hospital during these times. Hope all goes to plan and that you are open minded if it doesnt. Best of luck to you and Mr Matt. Look forward to meeting your little Acorn.

[@vanessausunariz1418]

Also, (I live in Spain, so wear with me the diferences) It's posible for the breast milk to came 2 days later on a natural birthing up to a week on a cesarean one. So in Spain is recomended to study maternity milk brands to chose what you prefer. Also is recomended a bib (It need to have the smaller hole posible if you want to breastfeed later) When you are in the hospital and your baby is cry hungry for days you will buy in the first store what they have, not what you study and select

[@HealthNutNutrition]

This is such a great point! We actually ordered in a box of the goat milk formula from the German brand Halle as it looked great and had a lot of good reviews. I couldn’t agree more the ones available on the market are mostly packed with a lot of crap. I’m not bringing it to the hospital because I figured they don’t eat much the first little bit with their stomachs being so small but maybe I should just pack a small amount in case?

[@AC-iw5mv]

@@HealthNutNutrition please don't worry about milk not coming in for 2-5 days post birth!!!! Baby will be absolutely fine with colostrum. If you introduce formula so early your milk may never come in fully because your body only produces as much as baby suckles, i.e. if baby is full on formula it won't suckle strongly on breast and therefore your body will not know to produce enough!!

[@vanessausunariz1418]

@@AC-iw5mv True, AC but in some cases because the mother can't breastfeed directly or because the baby needs more than what you produce The baby can be feed with a bib (with the smaller hole posible so they don't lost the sucle reflex) during a time and then retourn to the breast. At the same period of time the mother use a suctioner to activate the milk production or to take the milk if the areola of the breast is bleeding or injured

You may also want some tucks/witch hazel pads. You will be extremely sore in the “lady area”. You can literally just stick them in your undies for soothing. You will probably be constipated after baby even if you don’t don’t use any medication at the hospital.

Yes your nipples will be sore! My daughter was admitted to the NICU and I started pumping immediately, and my nipples didn’t like it. Nipple cream saved me.

I would ask your hospital or Dr about leaving the hospital. I’m giving birth in Orillia and my OB told me my husband can leave the hospital!

The GTA is still a lot more strict

I know my hospital and doctors didn't recommend essential oils nor did they allow me to use my own Tylenol. I also wasn't allowed to use my own water bottle, they encouraged me to use paper cups. You'll be living I'm your bath robe until you legit are discharged you don't need makeup as your so tired and in pain you won't need half the shit you bring. The less stuff the better plus with covid you cannot bring too many things as they don't want that much stuff brought into the hospital during this time. I brought pajamas and didn't even wear them cause I couldn't even lift my legs to get pants on I was in so much pain also had tons of stitches. I had to pee in the shower since I couldn't sit on the toilet it was bad. But good luck!
