When to Pack Your Hospital Bag
Pack your hospital bag between weeks 35-37 of pregnancy. You want to be ready well before your due date, as babies don't always follow schedules!

For Postpartum
Nursing bras, comfortable underwear, loose clothing to go home in, toiletries, nursing pads, nipple cream.
For Baby
Going-home outfit, swaddle blankets, car seat (installed and inspected!), tiny socks and hat, newborn diapers.
Nice-to-Haves
Pillow from home, essential oils, a special coming-home outfit for you, thank-you treats for the nurses.
