What to Bring to the Hospital for Childbirth
What to Really Pack in Your Hospital Bag for Childbirth
In this episode of the Raw Parenting podcast, Malorie and Tom dive into the reality of what to pack in your hospital bag for childbirth.
They review expert recommendations from popular websites like The Bump and Birth and Babies, which suggest bringing items like sugar-free hard candy, non-skid socks, and matching outfits for mom and baby.
However, as experienced parents who have been through the process twice, Malorie and Tom share their own insights on what you actually need and what you can leave behind.
From their first birth experience, where they packed as if they were going on a vacation, to their second time around, where they brought just the essentials, Malorie and Tom offer practical advice for expectant parents.
They recommend bringing a few key items, such as a heating pad, ice pack, and Depends underwear, while dismissing the need for excessive clothing, diapers, and entertainment like board games and video game consoles. They also suggest checking with your hospital to see what they provide, as many offer diapers, ointment, and other essentials.
Join Malorie and Tom as they share their unfiltered truth and relatable experiences on the Raw Parenting podcast.
