I suggest using a duffle-style bag instead of a suitcase. I feel that a duffle bag is much easier to store when you don&#8217;t need it anymore, as well as being useful for many other things such as for sports\/gym, trip to the beach, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The first few things that I would advise you to pack in your hospital bag are some comfortable PJs or nightgown, robe, thick comfortable socks, and slippers. Of course the hospital will provide you a hospital gown to wear while you are there, but they are thin, scratchy, and uncomfortable. And besides that, you aren&#8217;t\u00a0<em><strong>sick<\/strong><\/em>, you&#8217;re having a baby! There&#8217;s no reason why you can&#8217;t be cute and comfortable in your own clothing instead of the hospital-issued ones.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The hospital will also provide a hat, blanket, and tiny gown for your baby to wear. These items are great keepsakes, and very serviceable for your baby to wear while you are there. You might want to pack a special outfit for them to wear to leave the hospital, though, especially if you know the grandparents will be waiting with the camera to take a bunch of pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of pictures, it&#8217;s a great idea to bring a digital camera and camcorder to the hospital with you. Most people have cell phones to take pictures and video, but I find that the quality is just not as good as \u00a0a full-sized\u00a0digital camera and\/or\u00a0camcorder can provide. Trust me, you will take tons of pictures and video, and you will want to cherish these memories forever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You may or may not want to bring your own toiletries. The hospital will provide them for you, but they are definitely not high quality, and I was very glad that I packed my own toothbrush\/paste, hairbrush, lip balm, and deodorant. If your baby&#8217;s father is going to be staying the night with you at the hospital be sure that he packs toiletries, too!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After reading this article I hope that you have a better idea of what types of things that a new mom should be bringing to the hospital when she gives birth.
