Hospital Bag

My hospital stay and delivery, were slightly unique. My water ruptured at 34 weeks, I was admitted to one hospital and then transferred. Once I was transferred I labored for 36 hours before it all ended in an unplanned c-section. Here is a list of 5 things I think every mommy or mommy-to-be should have with them during their stay.

Sugar free gum.
This was wonderful, I wasn't able to leave my bed once they put my epidural in, so having the gum to help me stay fresh was so nice. 

Make up wipes.
This would have been a life saver. I went into labor with a full face of make up, (that wasn't planned) after awhile it was making my eyes water. The wipes would have made it a breeze to clean my face.

Chapstick.
Trust me, this is a MUST.

Extension cord.
This was incredibly helpful. All the hospital plugs are not in convenient places. Having the extension cord helped me be able to keep my phone charged and, close by.

Pen and notepad. 
This was great to have to take down notes during labor, and for keeping track the baby's feeding schedule along with my pumping schedule.

It maybe a small list, but aside from the essential items that you will pack these will add some comfort to the hospital room.
