By now, we more or less have a decent handle on this whole momming thing. Plus, we’ve had our fair share of babies, each time accompanied by a hospital bag. However, there was a time when things weren’t so clear, and we ourselves wondered-slash-googled-slash-asked-our-friends what to pack for the hospital. Therefore, having been done this a time or two (or three or four) before here’s what you actually need for the hospital.
Mom, you'll want these.
Perfect to wear to and fro.

Hospitals can be chilly. Socks help, especially when they double duty with a little anti-swelling.
