I’m one of those crazy people that starts packing for vacations at least four weeks ahead of time. My hospital bag is the same. When I posted in October that I was packing for my hospital stay, I got so many questions from soon-to-be mommas wondering what I packed. It’s hard to know because Pinterest is filled with super excessive lists. My hospital bag definitely has a little more than I NEED (like two Saranoni blankest), but it’s mostly just the essentials. I was asked to share my list, so here you go:
