SHOPPING AND PACKING MY HOSPITAL BAG FOR LABOR AND DELIVERY

[@BananaRussell]

I'm now 6 weeks postpartum and I swear it seems like it's been longer. Your vlogs bring me back to my last couple months of pregnancy. Everything you're experiencing was me to the T. I was 2 cm dialated 50 effaced and -2 grade at week 36 but I still made it 39+5. I'm so excited for you during your final stretch!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

That's really encouraging to hear because I really need him to stay in until his due date! There's so much to get done before he arrives! do you know how dilated you were at your last appointment? i'm hoping i'll be a 3 or 4 😂

[@BananaRussell]

@@MadelieneVanMarter Didn't progress further at my last appointment which was 39+2. I asked for a membrane sweep just cause I was worried about going past my 40 weeks.

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

I’ve never had a membrane sweep but I heard they’re painful 🥴

[@natashalaurent9808]

Get the loungewear set! You deserve it!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

I’m realllly thinking about it!

[@brittanydenney7348]

With every video vlog you get closer and closer to your due date and it's so exciting!!! Can't wait to see that little bundle of joy 💙 your doing so amazing!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Thank you Brittany!! I can’t wait to meet him 🥹💗

[@brittanydenney7348]

@@MadelieneVanMarter are you going to do a labor and after care video?

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

@@brittanydenney7348 I'm definitely filming the first 24 hours! I plan on filming my labor and delivery too, but sometimes things happen unexpectedly and the thought of filming goes out the window! That's what happened with Hudsons birth vlog. Everything happened so fast, kevin and I didnt even have a chance to pick up the camera. We hope to be better prepared this time. I wish I had Hudsons birth on camera because it was the best experience i've had so far!!

[@brittanydenney7348]

@@MadelieneVanMarter oh that's very understandable! In the moment of everything happening focusing on you and the baby is the main thing so even if you don't get the labor and delivery vlog just a vlog afterwards letting everyone know you're okay is good too! You have a lot of subscribers and followers who are praying for you and the baby to have the easiest and healthiest delivery! 🙏🏻 💕

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

I know you all are the best🥹💗 I appreciate all of you and your support so much! 🫶🏻 I’ll definitely keep you all updated!

[@riahpapaya8091]

I got my loungewear, nursing bras etc from Marshall’s ! I was not about to spend all that money in Target or Walmart or even Amazon . Just adding this for other moms

[@sarahp3144]

I’m 33 weeks pregnant with my second and this is super helpful!

[@lisaveenstra7098]

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

I honestly just might! 🙌🏻

[@karasmith5751]

You’re my kind of girl. I couldn’t justify spending $30 a piece for something for myself either lol. The set is sooo cute though!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

not to mention if you get the shirt you have to get the pants and that's $60 all together 😂 I already have so many lounge sets from target I just couldn't do it lol

[@amandahofmann25]

Where did you get your hospital bag from? So cute

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

hahaha I swear he could 😂 and thank you!! 🫶🏻 that means so much 💗

[@MetBySunlight]

My waters broke when I was 36 weeks, and baby arrived 4 hours later. Luckily I had packed some things the night before but my partner and I quickly finished packing while I was in labour. This time I am planning to have my bags packed around 32 weeks just in case!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

oh wow!! 4 hours sounds like a dream!

[@MetBySunlight]

@@MadelieneVanMarter My first was only 3 hours! Super intense but I cannot imagine being in labour longer. I'm 10 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and hoping for another quick labour.

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

my shortest was 6! I couldn't imagine it being faster! hahah

[@haleymineo3396]

I’m right there with you momma.I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and oh boy I’m so ready to meet my baby boy lol .

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

hope this helped!!

[@metalduck459]

Just gave birth almost 2 months ago. That video is so going down memory lane 😆

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Awe congratulations 🫶🏻

[@honestreviewer5322]

I always find it hard to get anything done when my 9 month old is awake so I do everything at naps/bedtime…what are your 3 kids doing while you pack this bag?! Is your hubby watching them or are they just watching/tv playing in another room while you do this?

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Hahaha there were so many clips I had to delete because Darin and Hudson kept climbing on the bed 😅 Landon was playing “zombies” downstairs while my two youngest played in my room. It’s very hard to film these days 🤣

[@honestreviewer5322]

@@MadelieneVanMarter you should add that as bloopers to your videos at the end! Just like 60seconds. Makes it real life and shows how much work really goes into getting that “perfect” clip. Also makes mamas like me feel better that others also struggle to get anything done haha. Everything on KZbin makes motherhood look so easy because they all crop the hard stuff out like that. So a little montage of the struggle would be great to see!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

@@honestreviewer5322 I might just make a whole video full of all my bloopers 🤣🤣 but I love this idea!! I’ll definitely start doing it! If I’m being honest most of my bloopers would be me stumbling over myself or forgetting what I’m saying 😂😂🤧🤧

[@Chosenfriends]

The always diapers come in scented and unscented. Almost bought the scented last time too! It's horrible

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

I didn’t even notice! I hate that it’s in small print on the SIDE of the packaging 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Chosenfriends]

@@MadelieneVanMarter right?! I only noticed cause the package color was different!

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Ahhhh!! Makes sense!🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

[@sarahheppell5068]

Loving your baby prep videos! ☺️

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Thank you!

[@NicoNico-bb1dj]

I bought those always discreet too because everyone suggested them. I stored them in my bedside cart until I packed my bag, and one night the smell was so bad, I threw them across the room. It’s awful. I wish I had kept the receipt.

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

Seriously they’re so awful! They make me want to puke. They almost smell like garbage

[@autumnlove4377]

I’m not a first time mom but never bought these for any of my pregnancies! Do you wear them after birth?? Not a huge fan of the mesh panties and huge pads from hospital so I may look into the always discreet now that I’m pregnant again. Did you like them? Do they hold up well with all the discharge?? Thank you 🤍

[@yanab4]

Me sitting watching this video in the lounge shes talking about lol oh and 37 weeks prego with baby #4

[@ACoupleofTheKingdom11]

Omg me, I’m at the point that I’m done with pregnancy, I wanna meet my baby boy and be done being huge!!!!!

[@ACoupleofTheKingdom11]

I’m grateful for the experience but I’m over it now😂

[@marydanielle7183]

I wish i could shop at Target xD all the clothes are massive on me

[@Hannahmarie-c8d]

I really enjoyed the video I just started my KZbin channel ❤

[@katieelogann]

Honestly I could not recommend enough a nice set of bra and underwear then a soft rope or loose night gown for the hospital. Between being breastfeeding and skin to skin that is such a good go too. Then going home outfits I wear pjs 😂 I do not even mind I’m comfy

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

right!! That's why I want that lounge set! I wore pajamas home last time but the pants were too tight 🥴 I forgot I had to wear a whole diaper lollll

[@Hannah-fj6jv]

Lightening crotch is seriously the worst! 32 weeks & getting it all the time. I've heard it's caused by baby hitting a nerve. If you decide to get a wearable breastpump someone recommended the momcozy brand to me. She was an exclusive pumper & said it works just as good as the more expensive brands.

[@megannohr2980]

BIG NEWS?!?!

[@CP12350]

You're giving birth girl, get that loungewear!
