Cute Jammies ! My mother in law worked as a hospital nurse and taught me that hydrogen peroxide will take out blood stains. Pretreat your blood stains with hydrogen peroxide. Just pour some straight from the bottle onto the stain. It bubbles up when it is working! Thank you for all of your seasoned advice. It’s priceless ! Take extra good care , 💗

Most realistic hospital bag video. Keeping it minimal is key, you are not there to relax or get a spa treatment. Plus, time goes by so fast, you’ll be home in no time! Kristen, healthy delivery and can’t wait to see your new baby girl!

I'm in Australia but I have recently discovered your videos. You are so down to earth and such a calming, reassuring presence. I'm pregnant with baby #2 but really enjoying watching these types of videos, thank you Kristen! I hardly ever comment but your content is a breath of fresh air x
@pennybill4877Ай бұрын
Praying for a safe easy delivery for you and baby. You are right keep it simple. I am a retired nurse. The hospital has all the supplies you need. Also be sure to take home with you things like the breast pump kit if you use a hospital breast pump. Any diapers or other left over single patient use items or they will just be thrown away. The breast pump accessory kit will fit many at home breast pumps and can also be used as hand pumps. They are quite expensive to buy if you need a replacement one. These are single patient use items and will be thrown away if you do not take them.
@judybryant3880Ай бұрын
You deserve anything you want to wear even if you don't use it at the hospital. You'll use it later at home when you're in that nesting mode. I think everyone is anxious to see your new bundle of joy.

You are so precious! I love your videos. You are so down-to-earth and honest about everything. You made me laugh so hard over the bras. You made this 71 year old lady have the best laugh of the day!! ❤

When you are in hospital it may be the last time for a very long time that you'll have a chance to be waited on. Embrace it. Let those nurses pamper you and the baby. Get as much rest as you can because once you get home it's game on! 🙏
@hkschrock93Ай бұрын
For someone who is larger busted and needs that support that a good quality bra gives, I needed a nursing bra. Yes they are more expensive, but they are made for a reason. Regular bras don’t work for everyone when nursing. Everyone has to find what works for them.
@mola.sАй бұрын
I agree. I can't imagine pulling my bra up to nurse as she described. Seems super uncomfortable. I'm glad it works for her, but it's not for me.
@heatherlaurenRNАй бұрын
as a soon to be new mom, i really appreciate your realistic, minimal advice. theres so much pressure it feels like to buy all this stuff or have all this stuff out of fear that if i dont have it i'll regret it, even though deep down i know thats not true. Even as a postpartum nurse i still am victim to this! the only thing i do recommend especially for first time breastfeeders is your breastfeeding pillow because, at least at my hospital, our pillows suck or we run out because each person needs like 5-8 pillows to get good support because the pillows are o thin

I'm due in October with my second baby! I had an emergency c section with my first and am doing a scheduled one this time.. I'm bringing nightgowns because pants last time?!?! Awful. So that's the one thing I tell everyone when they go to the hospital.. I obviously wasn't planning for one but we ended up with the surgery and I wish I would have had nightgowns so badly. I know you had your baby already but this is always my advice to anyone else that reads this! Just one is all you need!

I had my first baby 3 months ago and wayyyyy over packed 🤣 I was so out of it most of the time that I didn't even know where the suitcase was or what was in it. Next time I'm just bringing my toiletries, a couple of cozy outfits and a going home outfit for baby. I literally used NOTHING besides those things 🤣
@susiejones4610Ай бұрын
Kristen you are so right. I have a 42-year-old daughter and when I went to the hospital to deliver her, I did not have a bag at all. All I had with me was the clothes on my back. After I delivered her I had my husband bring me an outfit to wear home and an outfit for the baby plus the car seat. The hospital gave me anything and everything I needed while I was there. I’m praying you have a wonderful labor and delivery and another beautiful, healthy baby.

Mom of 3 here. I related to this so much. I brought a going home outfit for me and baby, charger, toiletries, and nursing pillow. That was basically it. You don’t need much at all. I brought sooo much stuff the first time because KZbinrs said it was “essential” and didn’t use half of it.
@linmurray436Ай бұрын
In case there is an accident involving blood, it's really simple to get out. Put the soiled item in a sink of ice as soon as you can and let it soak until the stain comes out then was as usual. The colder the water the quicker the stain comes out.
@melissa_marieАй бұрын
Love this video. I am 37 weeks pregnant with my second child, and this video is what I wish I would have seen before packing the bag the first time. I thought I needed to bring so much stuff, I even read so many places, that I should bring my own roll of toilet paper... did not need to do that, lol. I feel so much more in peace and calm about what I really need to bring this time.

~Refreshing, intelligent content! ~Appreciate you sharing your wise approach & ways with any new Moms-to-be! Kristen, I laughed out loud when you said, “… well then, if it did,…whatever!” It touched to my core to see you hold up the precious floral sleeper that each one of your girls wore when they came home from the hospital! A treasure,… & paired with that bow… 💖! My prayers for you, Josh & your precious growing family are ongoing. May the Lord bless & keep each one of you! ✨✨✨✨✨✨❤️🙏🏽
@katiea5197Ай бұрын
I feel like every time I see hospital or “what you don’t need” videos I end up commenting this! lol As a mom of three, who nursed all three…one to 9mos and the other two to 15mo. IF you are larger busted you might actually need a nursing bra, I tried the “just lift” method and it hurt and was extremely uncomfortable and painful. Especially durning the beginning before the milk regulates. This is accurate for her, but don’t be surprised if it isn’t for you! Getting off my soap box now!

I had my baby 10 weeks ago (first time mom). I originally went to the hospital to check if my water broke ( I woke up at 4 am all wet, wasn't sure if my water broke or peed myself because I had no signs of labor at all). I thought they will check and let me go home for the next 24 hours for labor to begin. However they admitted me the same day. Therefore I had nothing on me. Just my purse. The hospital provided us with everything. The second day after birth, my partner went home and brought some clothes and swaddle for the baby.

I love this as a FTM! I’m 36 weeks slowly getting my stuff together and I want the BARE MINIMUM! Will be adding a fan because I get really bad hot flashes when I’m in any discomfort. We love music so a little portable speaker and AirPods just in case I want to just zone out by myself. And a blanket for hubby since he will be extra cold! If I’m not “glammed up” then I’ll pack my blow dryer and some makeup to get ready over there.
