This is very helpful never thought of bringing paper and a pen or extra pair of shoes. Thanks for the great advice.

35 weeks - I bet you are anxious and excited! When I had my twins four years ago, I made sure to pack a nursing pillow/boppy, my favorite lotion, and a robe!

It seems like yesterday I was packing my hospital bag (and it was really just under a year ago!) I packed a robe, yoga pants, slippers and flip flops. I had an outfit for the baby, and snacks! I took the snacks for my husband, because with our first child he barely was able to escape to get food until after the baby finally arrived. I left the laptop at home, but did bring my camera.

My first was an emergency delivery so nothing backed. My second time around I packed my own pillow, lip balm, made sure my iphone was loaded with an audiobook and hard candies. I found I always wanted to suck on something after the c section birth, it helped with my nausea.

Oh gosh, I feel like no matter what I pack, it's likely that I will forget something. Even if I pack months ahead of time! Thanks for sharing these :)

Bringing paper and pen is a great idea in case you feel like recording some of the memories after your baby is born. I would probably want to pack really comfortable pyjamas if I was pregnant.

I would also include nursing bras and sports bras. Super helpful! Also a robe for walking around and extra lounge pants

This was the exciting part before the baby comes. good luck

When I gave birth to my children bringing a laptop not smart phone to record was unheard of. I snuck Twix in to eat during labor.
