I have to be honest, I feel as though I have not over-prepared in any area of this pregnancy and my hospital bag is no exception.
Generally, I am a less-is-more kind of person. I stayed up watching endless youtube videos and reading other blogs about what they originally packed and what they ultimately used.
Most of the time, their follow up video or blog was advising you not to pack as much as you think. I have been told over and over that the hospital will have almost everything I will need. With the exception of my comfy clothes, of course.
This makes my minimal heart very happy and I don’t feel any stress worrying about what is in my bag.

Jose did pack something to sleep in and his toothbrush. I am actually bringing throw-away toothbrushes for the hospital.
