What's in my Hospital Bag (BUT PLANNING FOR A HOME BIRTH)
Рет қаралды 21,430
Күн бұрын» What's in my Hospital Bag you ask? (Many things LOL) If you're looking for a minimalist's take... this is not it. BUT if you're trying to plan & would like some ideas for comfort items? THIS IS YOUR VIDEO
I'm planning for a no interventions/meds home birth, but this is what I've packed justttt in case.
What did you pack in your hospital bag? I'd love to know. Would you like me to revisit this video and do a reaction video to this 'What's in my Hospital Bag' content? I'll share what I actually used/didn't use.
The hospital would have provided meds/ diapers/ wipes etc so I didn't bother packing those

Yes please!! I’m 18 weeks and have been binge watching the mom reactions to their original videos and they’re hilarious but also SO helpful in reminding me how much crap I probably - definitely - don’t need to bring! Love your content and excited to get stuck into this video! Congrats on your gorgeous girl 😊

Oh man, if I were to give my past self advice I would say to do what you did and bring all the comfort things, because we were in hospital for 6 days and it was awful. I would have LOVED to have some comfort items with me. Thank you for sharing!

The theory with the comb squeezing is the same as the tens machine. When you flood your brain with “pain” in different ways it can only get a certain set of stimuli and your receptors will only accept so much stimulation. When you create new and different sensations at the same time along with the labor pain it actually distracts your brain and “lowers” the pain by specifically adding to the overall pain sensations in a manageable way. Like the tens machine doesn’t actually hurt per se but the brain registers it as pain! It’s so cool!

Great video! Thx for sharing! I’m all for overpacking. I overpacked both times and used almost nothing but do not regret packing all my comforts. If I had a third I would still pack EVERYTHING! Lol We had a big cooler (because of covid everything was closed) full of food too. I would bring even more next time lol

Usually the hospital have a list of what they provide and what you can have access to if you don't wanna bring something you don't have to. It is quite helpful. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and just did my baby's hospital bag. More fun than doing mine XD !!

The only thing I would have added for babe was water wipes. I know the hospital has wipes, but nothing compares to Water Wipes for cleaning babe and their behinds, but also for gentleness for their sensitive skin. Water Wipes and Muslin blankets (my 4yo still sleeps with one every night) are probably my most used baby items 😂.

Re some products Some hospitals have the peanut ball. Ours did. I used it. Worked great 👍🏻 That nipple butter is great, I still use it now as lip balm and my kids use it lip balm / winter skin irritation And the ice pads - our hospital makes “tea pads” which is just black tea bags in a pad. Takes away pain and inflammation - work awesome! (Can make yourself too) 🥰✌🏻

hahahaha I didn't know if it would be helpful but it totally was! Gave me another sensation to distract myself with. It also made me laugh pretty hard when the midwife heard the buzzing vibrations through the fetal doppler monitor along with the baby's heartbeat.

Hi Karissa Im from BC too, the hospital will have a birthing ball like a yoga ball, my cousin swore by it, I however hated it, I only comfort I found was doing deep squats and having my husband or the nurse help with counter pressure. Vibrator is such a good idea! Wish I had thought of that. I ended up having an emergency c section I really hope that doesnt happen to you but maybe pack some more clothes JUST IN CASE, we ended up staying for several days. Also hospitals will not have ice pads, just the normal post partum ones, and they wont have breast pads (not a big deal for most people but my milk came in fast and furious and I was leaking EVERYWHERE)

Late watching. Some hospitals won’t allow many devices used like the diffuser (scent free policy) and my heated blanket was a no go? Which I used for my back labour while at home but was denied in my first birth. A lot of items a really nice to have but with Covid my second pregnancy I kept it all minimal so I didn’t have to worry about bringing the contaminated items back home.

The fact that many of these things are unnecessary but she talks so proud of it makes me wonder really if she struggled with sth in her life. Many women delivered well and nicely without any of these so don’t worry if you cannot get all this stuff for your delivery. Keep the essentials
@KarissaPukas 10 ай бұрын
It makes me feel confidant to be prepared. I had a really wonderful birth and postpartum experience because of the effort I put into education and researching what & who could help me out / what product would be helpful. No regrets & I'll absolutely be doing the same next time around :)

I’m 26 weeks tomorrow, I better start packing now because this has gone by so fast and I KNOW the remaining weeks are gonna fly by as well. Ughhhh to have that Gucci hat for baby would be so cute! I still can’t decide what I want her to come home in. Neutral? Floral? White? It’s all so precious I can’t decide. We’re going with the Nuna car seat and stroller. We need to get that ASAP. I feel like such a dummy for decluttering all those random VS tote bags I had in my closet, I feel like one of those would have worked just fine for a hospital bag, now I have to order one :/

You typically don’t need to, but we did- as we needed to do a paediatrician check within 24 hours of the birth because of Goldie’s scan anomaly ☺️
@jennifercate8996 2 жыл бұрын
That was actually the one thing I didn’t think she was going to end up needing because hospitals have sooooo many outlets and usually attached to the bed or right above your head so your devices will reach to your table or just on the bed. If she only had a short charging cord it could be useful. But on the flip side she doesn’t need to bring power boxes with that extension cord, so it really is about the same amount of space!

Most ppl spend less than 24 hours in the hospital after a baby unless complications or c section. You will need diapers to go home. They use cloth at the hospital and don’t provide take home.

Did you end up using your combs or vibrator? Watched your labour vlog and didn't see them (probably wasn't expecting to for the latter haha) so was just wondering :)
@KarissaPukas 2 жыл бұрын
My Doula brought spike balls so I used them instead of the combs! And yes to the vibrator! But not the one I show in this (It was out of batteries HA) You can see my pink lelo above my shoulder in the bathtub shot. It helped with a different sensation, but I was pretty late into labour by then. I may try using one earlier next time :)
