Checklist For Your Hospital Pack During Labor and Following
You'll have the ideal hospital bag if you use the checklist in this post. Also, since your stay should be brief, there is no need to bring too much. Packing a hospital bag was one of my favorite things when I had my kids. I loved shopping for my hospital bag and hope you do too.

Getting prepared for my baby's arrival was a very special time. Sometimes I find myself instead of wondering when labor will come, I would just go to my hospital suitcase and look at everything inside it and imagine my baby in the clothing. I would close that suitcase and just feel better about my child's upcoming birth.
