Mommy Essentials for hospital

Essentials for first time mom/second/third...😆:

• Music for labor: I didn't need it as the labor room has music, but it can be nice to keep you calm.
• Lots of snacks: when you are in the hospital, it is nice to have some snacks during the labor phase and after, even in Ireland they gave you a cup of tea and toast right after birth :)
• Mussels: You can use them for anything, they are really handy.
• Pads/panties: I used the panties that have pad included, it was nice for my C-section on the first pregnancy, but also used in the second one, no C-section but it was comfortable, and durable. 
• Comfy nightwear: I used comfy pajamas from Pennys (primark), or nightgown is good too, for breastfeeding is ideal.
• Lip balm: sometimes you get really dry lips, is handy to have one close by.
• Glasses: I use contact lenses, but I got my glasses once I was tired so I can switch easy.
• Charger: Phone will die will all the messages and pictures, bring your charger 😜
• Flip flops: Essential for showers, forgot first time!
• Shower essentials/creams/tower/ toothbrush
• -Hair brush/hair ties/ clippers: it is nice during labor to tie your hair and then nice to brush it 😁
• Baby clothes: vest, sleepsuits and one to leave the hospital
• Baby nappies and wipes.
• Breast pads/breastfeeding bras: Life savers
• Dressing gown: Sometimes is cozy to wear it to walk around.
• Book/crosswords/tablet
• THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: YOUR BIRTH PARTNER!
