[@amandaa7592]

My husband had THE BEST idea for our bag: Protein Shakes. At least at our hospital, you're not allowed any food while in active labor. This is fine if you're an easy, fast labor...but for all the mama's that labor around the clock you know how exhausting it is. I was allowed to drink anything I wanted and the hospital kept offering juice as sugar energy, but I FAR preferred to avoid that sugar crash and packed several premixed protein drinks that we just poured over ice. I've never seen another mama mention this and I think it's such an easy and brilliant addition.

[@susangilchrist781]

That is BRILLIANT!!!!

[@bri-aunnarau8303]

Literally so smart....never thought of or read about it in all my research!

[@gurleegurl98LH]

Most hospitals do not let you have anything other than clear liquid in labor tho, so you might not get to even drink those in some places

[@amandaa7592]

@@gurleegurl98LH I think you're correct. I didn't publicize it to the staff and had my husband retrieve cups of ice and poured the drinks in there. Nurses weren't doing cup checks ;) I did have a doula for my first pregnancy and she said that the primary reason to keep the stomach empty was to based on 1940's research that suggested an increased risk of aspiration (inhalation of food into the lungs) when under general anesthesia. Most laboring women will not undergo general anesthesia--only if there was some severe complication, and even then aspiration is just potential risk, not a foregone conclusion. I trusted her knowledge and for us, we decided that the risk was nominal. I was admitted at 11PM and didn't give birth until 7:30PM the following day. Those protein shakes kept me going. 😁

[@dancer11rules]

Yes, I know technically I wasn't "allowed" to eat or drink, but after not eating all night and most of the day I was like "okay, I am about to have this mama chi pouch because I need the energy. Just giving you a heads up in case you want to leave the room or turn your back."

[@maggievallera7899]

L&D nurse here 👋🏻 leave the nursing cover up (we have to see and assess ur latch anyway) Take the sweater and definitely the heating pad tho. As far as the ink prints we usually do the feet but babies have a reflex that when something touches their palms they close their fingers. My advice is to wait to do hand prints till this reflex goes away. Recommendation is no pacies till breast feeding is established (just recommendation do as u please 😊) also don’t forget ur ID. You did an amazing job I love all ur videos and can not wait to learn her name!

[@mimi_to_four7151]

You are so right, they break you in the hospital. I lost all modesty when I had my first baby. I didn’t care who was in the room I did what I had to do. Yes take the heating pad! As an old L&D, postpartum & Nursery nurse you did a great job packing you got all the must haves. Well tell Tyler not to forget the hard candy/mints, chewing gum too.

[@keishajones5899]

I was in so much pain, absolutely nothing mattered including modesty 😂😂. Thank God it was just me, my mom and midwife in labour room. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@emilymyrick8801]

I used a hospital heating pad and it was amazing for back labor. I also packed some makeup but didn't use any (I'm still glad I packed it though). I highly recommend having a special body wash (maybe a mini from lush or something) to make that first shower extra luxurious. It helped boost my mood so much.

[@mattieibarra408]

Oh wow!! I LOVE this idea and will be buying a special soap!

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

This grabbed my heart, I'm 65, so it's been a while since I had my baby :) I am so loving how you've thought of everything, I am putting all the best intentions (prayers) for you and your family during this time! I am so excited, I hope you take comfort that you have all of us sending you love during this time!

[@TheMrmouse4]

I would always bring a small gift to give the older child or children from the baby. Makes them feel special.

[@leahkeepsitreal]

One tip for Tyler (and since this is your 2nd time this may be a no brainer) make sure he wears his most COMFORTABLE sneakers for the hospital since he could be standing by the bedside for hours while you are in active labor. Good luck Jessica, so excited for you to expand your sweet fam :)

[@melissagirard8661]

I am 37 weeks pregnant with my first and the hospital bag is packed but I keep watching these videos out of paranoia that we're forgetting something. This was VERY reassuring so thank you!!

[@laurarash45]

Coming here to say that your suggestions made my hospital stay SO much better a couple of weeks ago! I bought the robe, PJs (or at least a version of them), socks, underwear, nursing tanks, and some baby supplies you recommended. I also used your suggestions to pack the remainder of the bag. I was there for four days and three nights and I used EVERYTHING. Thank you so much!

[@amh1124]

I say yes to the heating pad because everyone forgets to talk about the whole contractions after birth are a thing, BUT also the contractions while breastfeeding and they’re said to get more intense the more kids you have. I feel like no one ever mentions this, so that heating pad could be a lifesaver during that!

[@LapostropheAura]

0:35 - "If you're 25 weeks pregnant and you're wantin' to pack that bag, you go ahead and pack that bag." OK WOW, that is literally me!!!!

[@karenmakesthings4880]

I do not know why I always watch hospital bag videos. I’m 45, have no kids, and had a hysterectomy so that ship has sailed! 😂 but it fascinates me to see what you mamas need for your labor adventure. Best of luck to you. Have a safe and healthy delivery!

Hello 👋 Jennifer How are you doing today?

[@emmyhalli]

hear me out: instead of the heating pad, pick up some of those adhesive heat patches that they make for like period cramps, I think 3 come in a box? pick up two boxes, they fold basically flat and you don't have to worry about the plugs and cords that you do with a legit heating pad. you also won't be bummed if they get misplaced, whereas I'd lose it if my heating pag disappeared.

Your videos are EXTREMELY helpful. I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and will be due in Feb. This is my first child so I am trying to prepare as much as possible. Having pregnacy brain, I forget things ( typically on a normal basis but now, its more than usual.) inorder to alleviate that, I try to write down everything as simple as tasks or appointments on my calender. which has been helpful. But I truly don't know whats the best items to buy for my newborn when she gets here in Feburary. So, Ive been watching youtube videos and trying to " research ." I happened to scroll onto your videos and its really been a JACKPOT!!!!!!! A true lifesaver because there are things that I didn't even know to think about. From the nursery to the hospital bag to the diaper bags to the books to the clothing that will grow with her. I am the type of person who loves function over fashion. I'm more of a comfy yet cute and casual type of girl. So your videos and the LINKS help simplify EVERYTHING!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: babygirl is here!!! She's an absolute gem and I'm so thankful that I watched this video. I packed my hospital bag and the nurses were really impressed. They said u didn't need most of the things that I packed since it was already provided 😅.

A few recommendations from a NICU nurse😊 skin to skin contact and early feeding in the first hour of baby girls life (the golden hour) makes a world of a difference with supply!

Also lots and lots of water and rest on mama’s part❤️ Can’t wait to meet her!

For my my second baby I bought a birthing gown on Amazon, and it was 100% more comfortable than the dang hospital gowns! It had snaps up the front and down the back so there was easy access for being checked but if you walk the halls you won’t moon anyone. Plus it was sleeveless and had snaps on the shoulders which was great because I realized that I could snap my IV line through that to keep it from catching on everything! It honestly made laboring a little easier because I wasn’t fighting with keeping my gown in place while moving around. So excited for you to meet your sweet new baby!

2 more things : I liked bringing an electric nail file because my first babies nails were SO long when she came out. I also wanted to mention I found the cloud island sleepers (the coming home outfit) to run big so the newborn size might be a little bigger than the carters one.

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and I want to start packing as soon as I have everything! Like why wouldn’t I just organize it all in a bag?! It just makes sense to get it done and check that box! One less thing to worry about! Plus it gives those things a home! And it keeps it organized!

[@helenepatterson5118]

You’re adorable, the excitement is beaming through. This was a great video! ❤️

[@tiesssa1]

Omg the bag for soiled clothing! Brilliant, and one I’ve never heard of before!! Thanks, this video is great!

[@alexdiaz4181]

Hello 👋Tess How are you doing today?

[@measbeauty]

I started packing mine at 35 weeks this time ... My last pregnancy I had to have my mom go get me stuff cause I didn't pack. I'm 38+5 and being induced in 4 days I'm too excited! I packed just as much as you just added some padcicles and I'm 100% bringing my heating pad!

[@angellorrice4429]

When I had my son I was in the hospital less than 24 hours. I don't think I even brought a hospital bag. The hospital provided everything I needed. All I brought was an outfit for baby to go home in. These types of videos blow my mind. Best of luck with your labor and delivery Jessica ❤️

[@Annbragg_IBTC]

Here I am at 20 with my fiancé and I planning to have a baby 7-8 years from now, but I love this video. All of them really! Your laugh and little jokes are adorable. I love your enthusiasm about being pregnant and having a baby. It makes me feel more at ease and excited about my pregnancy.

[@CheesyCat888]

And my last pregnancy was 9 years ago but am still having fun watching this!!! 💗💗💗

[@taylamaree3592]

First time pregnancy. This is so helpful as I don’t have any mothers or ladies in my life to give me advice and tips. Bless you! You didn’t talk to much this was perfect!! Can’t wait to go through more and top up on advice and tips. God bless!

[@breeyawnahinton]

I need to write down the laundry bag idea! I didn't have one for my first, decided I needed one with my second, but still forgot. I'm determined to have one this time. 😂

[@azraselimanovic]

34 weeks! First baby, first time mom! It is a bit overwhelming but very exciting. Can’t wait to see our little man 💙 we’re so grateful! Great video! I definitely wrote everything I need or added just some more things!

[@roseg1333]

Idk if you’ve seen but Victoria’s Secret now has maternity wireless bras in their Body By Victoria collection. That line is so comfy and the maternity ones come in really pretty prints and colors. As Jessica says you’re welcome in advance lol 😉😂💕

[@letsgoalready5515]

I got 3 of them and 1 for free since I got a vs card (new user)

[@GCruz90]

Omg I love you energy and enthusiasm throughout this video! It’s adorable and is hyping me up for hospital stay!

[@jradart_8611]

I'm so excited for you! I'm 39 weeks and things are kicking off this week with labor signs. I started packing my bag early also. I might have too much but just encase.

[@satinswan1979]

Swaddling blankets: My daughter was born close to the end of May and I really loved our Aden and Anais muslin swaddling blankets. They were decently sized, at least 3'x3', but light so we didn't have to worry about overheating her when we swaddled, and they were fantastic for shade over the stroller without worrying that heat might get trapped. It's been almost eleven years and I still get use out of them during the summer when it's too hot to sleep with even just a sheet but too cool to have nothing.

[@breevestrand]

Girl yes I packed my bag soooo early for both pregnancies and installed the car seat at 36 weeks 😂 (I was also high risk for preterm labor the 2nd time) and ended up going past 40 weeks both times 😂

[@DawnMGP58]

Jessica, you make me chuckle! 🤭 You are precious! I am a Mom to 3 Sons all in their 30's. I had them many years ago. I felt everything you're feeling...with every birth. You are not over doing it. You just want to be prepared for anything that may arise. That's what we mom's do. I wish you and your family ALL of the best and many blessings. I love you. ❤️🥰🌺

[@tahimi3801]

My mom had my brother and I UNEXPECTEDLY at 36 weeks each... that plus the fact that I'm an organizational nut job means I'm going to start packing my bag as at the start of my second trimester 😂

[@watsername]

I'm still trying (several losses, which I have needed a hospital bag ready for one of them...) and have a start of one already going XD having spent much time on the gynae ward lately I would much rather be over prepared than under!

[@aliciai.9150]

Oh my gosh I had my hospital bag planned and packed for a month before I went into labor. I was so overwhelmed with everything that I didn't even use a single thing from it 🥴 the hospital provided everything I needed. But I really hope you enjoy your bag! 😘😘😘

[@karennicholson4167]

Who else watches Jessica's pregnancy videos when they are well past childbearing? I am a 61-year old Grammy of three beautiful granddaughters, and still enjoy watching Jessica, no matter what she does!

[@katieB623]

This came at the perfect time!! Currently 30 weeks with baby 2 and I cried (hormones haha) watching how excited you are to meet your sweet baby girl!! I struggled with PPD with baby 1 and feel so different this time as well. Praying for a safe and peaceful delivery for you!

[@jalexis55]

Oh my stars thank you for this! I have been waiting for this video because I’ve been writing things down I think I want and I knew we think a like, also 32 weeks pregnant so over planner here too LOL You had things I hadn’t even thought of. Praying for a safe delivery. Can’t wait to “meet” baby girl #2 and see/hear Gigi be a big sister!

[@shannonrobertson7212]

Omg I loveeeeeeee Ritual. I was taking the womens one a day and right when I figured, heck lets get this body ready for a baby and switched to the prenatal I found out I was pregnant!! With how big they are it was pretty tough to swallow em during the first trimester. I loved that they tasted like lemons though. Had to do gummies when I couldnt swallow em but they really have everything you need in one pill! Been taking em about 2 years now about! 30 weeks now time to pack my go bag!

[@madelinewilson3155]

Watching this preparing myself to put together a hospital bag, I am realizing how minimalist I am. You are coming out the hospital mama barbie, I’ll be coming out the hospital as a plushie gremlin. Thanks for putting together this video, had a lot of great advice and some great products ideas! :)

[@jennyjohnson5428]

Plushie Gremlin!! That cracked me up.

[@sharkscanflyy8202]

I am 23 weeks pregnant and I've watched several of your videos. Thank you for all of your informative insight because this first time momma doesn't want to do anything wrong

[@AmyBC123]

I’m a month behind you, having my first baby. This was super helpful thank you!

[@shoopdawoop14]

I just had my baby girl she was 3 weeks early but she's all healthy I packed my bag when I was having contractions lol but I got it all done at the end so no harm done here! I'm so happy to be able to have my baby girl with me now

[@nikkiohara5616]

I am a 24 year old with no plans on having children with my partner, but I’m absolutely watching this whole thing. Love you Jessica, sending good vibes for you and your family during this new adventure!

[@laurarash45]

Okay, this video is a lifesaver. I'm at 26 weeks now and I'm ready to start thinking about this! I have added so many items to my registry, wishlist and shopping cart based on this video.

[@Halzzxo]

Here with my pen, paper, a Gatorade and a snack b/c I'm gonna start packing here in about 2 months... Your hospital bag couldn't have cone at a better time. Sending prayers for your baby girl, you & your family 💕

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Hey Jess, take that plastic film off the gold name plate on the bag. (lol, I had a bag once where I left that plastic on, accidently, for like a year, that's how I noticed the plastic on yours!)

[@jessicamariche3999]

We have the same name (lol yes I know it’s common). I’m 27 weeks pregnant with my 6th! And I still can’t wait to pack! Love what your packing

[@elizabethmadrigal2087]

Not me over here barely like 23 weeks pregnant wanting to pack my hospital bag rn cause of this amazing video😁😆😆

[@thesagetraveler7649]

Just had my baby girl 2 weeks ago. Wish I had brought my pumping bra to the hospital. Also, was very glad I brought the Frida mom peri bottle, way easier to use than the one the hospital gives you. I brought a fan too, game changer! Also brought my own hospital gown and that was nice to have. The one I got was from kindred bravely. One thing for baby I used a lot was a portable sound machine. Mine was the yogasleep hushh brand.

[@aaalpha1315]

This is like the third one of your videos I’ve watched today. I just found you and I love your channel. You are so real and honest about everything. It feels so much less stressful and overwhelming the way you explain things you chose and why. Thank you!!

[@aprillec]

TMI warning: 100% on not bringing nice/expensive slippers! After my first child was born, I stood up to get out of bed and go to the bathroom, and a huge gush of blood completely overwhelmed the capacity of my hospital pad, ran down my leg, and got into my slippers. And that was, apparently, not abnormal. I wish I'd been wearing cheap slippers I could trash without regret. Good luck and happy birthing!

[@angelicacardenas3465]

Thanks for the info I was wondering how exactly they'd get ruined so its good to know when I pack my hospital bag

[@cecilia929]

Also TMI: I apparently bled a lot during labor and was given 2 shots in my legs. I still don't know what it was. Anyways hours later I was sitting in my bed and felt sudden warmth around my buttocks. Turns out a side effect of those shots caused me to have diarrhea (×2 btw) right after another. So I really really REALLY wouldn't take my own gown to wear in the hospital. But that's my experience.

[@Andrea.reeddd]

I’m never going to be pregnant as I will be adopting but here I am loving this content and you and your family!
