[@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."

At 23 weeks pregnant, your videos has definitely helped a lot. I’m a new mom to be to a baby girl, and I have no clue to much. My mom passed in 2020 so i’m learning from friends and videos like yours. Thank you for making videos like this, it’s so helpful and very much needed!

[@george.eliot42]

My deepest condolences in regards to your passing mother, I know how hard it can be to navigate motherhood without your own mama.. in the same breath I wish you and your baby health and wellness. ❤

[@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!

[@jennyjohnson5428]

I'm scanning these comments specifically for labor & delivery nurse feedback & suggestions, so thank you for this 💚💙💜

Do I have kids? Nope. Am I pregnant? Nope. Will I ever have kids? Probably not. But did I watch this video from start to finish? Yes, yes I did. I'm so excited for you guys. I can't wait to find out her name. You're in my prayers. Hoping for a smooth, safe delivery.

[@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. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@hayleebaird-lira5558]

This video came at the perfect time! I am 35 weeks and my husband is FINALLY home from deployment! I’ve been so worried and stressed my whole pregnancy. I feel light as air and like I can finally relax, be happy, and get excited about this baby coming 💖 Not that I wasn’t excited this whole time but the nerves were overwhelming. I got the lulibebe diaper bag for Christmas because we also have a 21 month old and I already love it so much!! The duffel bag is also gorgeous. Congratulations and best of luck to you Jessica and Tyler!!! 🙏💖💖

[@kentuckywildcatfan5096]

By Gods grace I chose not to be upset and the hospital had what I needed. He went and got it the next day after baby was born:) really you don’t *need* much!

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!

[@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.

[@ahmstfamus]

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.

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.

Currently pregnant with my first!!🥰 this video was so helpful and just nice to watch. Thanks Jess!!! Congratulations again on your baby girl #2 & prayers for a smooth and safe delivery💕💗✨

[@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!

I had a miscarriage a couple weeks ago but I am 100% saving this video for when it is my time 🥰 I’m so excited for you guys and can’t wait to meet baby girl!

Good vibes for your journey ❤️🌈

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 💕

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and so happy that u r too cuz u crack me up and absolutely enjoyed this video! Thank u for the great ideas! I've added a few things to my bag! And i also am over packed and packed quite a bit of makeup.

[@katelynwinder_76]

Sat down with a notepad to watch this! Thank you for posting everything you’re bringing! So helpful 🙂

[@AliciaStyleAndGrace]

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!

[@Veganbri]

Don’t forget to bring nursing pads (reusable or disposable)! The more the better just in case. Also, bringing extra bras always diaper bag or hospital bag helped me a lot. I mostly used resuable nursing pads and now I use them as resusable makeup pads.

[@whirlypearlsofwisdom]

I’m a long time here for the makeup member of your squad but must say I’m super thankful for your baby vids that I shamelessly sent to my niece who is currently awaiting the end of her first pregnancy! Thank you Jess for making vids that encompass my family💖 with recommendations I trust!!!

[@annlind2349]

Jess thank you for sharing your excitement. I hope you share pictures of the baby I am a grandma and our grandson is 16 so I am living baby excitement through you and can't wait to see her and know her name hugs Ann

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. 😂

[@lorannbrown7050]

The best thing we brought was our Amazon firestick! We were in the hospital for three days so it was nice to have our shows!!

[@muffin4771]

That is such good advice.

[@paulinasamayoa9542]

I was sooo looking forward to this video and it was sooo helpful! I already packed mine (first time mom) and I was happy to see that my thorough KZbin research worked! I hope everything goes well with your baby! Mine is due a couple of weeks from now… SO EXCITED!!! God bless!!!

[@ThaliaIV]

Your video in this topic has been my favorite so far and I have purchased a few of the items you recommended. Thank you for helping me feel prepared.

[@meghanarmstrong2422]

17 weeks with second baby already watching these videos lololol obsessed

[@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 😂

[@jordybabe8795]

I am so excited for you guys an to “meet” this little girl❤️…… she is so loved already❤️

[@christinewagenaar4770]

Appreciate the realness of using halfs of items and not buying everything new. Love your channel❤️

[@lilnicole96]

So happy for you Jess!!! I had my second little girl in jan and my first 3mo after you had gigi. Insane. idk about where you live but our hospital had a shortage at the time due to COVID so we literally got the bare bones, I ended up needing more diapers for myself and they literally couldn't even give me pain meds, like I had to ask for motrin after birth and more pads.

[@lauracarns717]

When I had my baby at 34 weeks 5 days and had no bags packed, you can bet with my second baby that bag was packed at 30 weeks 😂( I made it to 38 weeks 2 days with him!) both babies are thriving btw no worries !

[@lindsaykivett4802]

Yes!! Bring the heating pad. Whatever makes you comfortable and sleep more comfortably. I brought my pregnancy pillow for my first and I will be bringing it for the second!
