Laptop, camera, old underwear, sweatpants, pump, ipod, baby clothes, insurance cards, toothbrush, hair brush, some make-up so I can feel prettier afterward, haha. That's about it....
I don't ever pack a bag really ahead of time...starting at 38 weeks I kind of set what I would need by the bag at night, make sure things are charged etc. So it's a grab and go or if I had an emergency someone would be able to come home and get it all for me and it's easy to find in one spot. I will throw the clothes in a bag and the pump but that's about it. You can't pack your toothbrush and such ahead of time!DS 1 2008

Do I need to bring a breast pump to the hospital? I haven't breastfeed before but I am planning to with this baby. I purchased a Medela pump but wasn't planning on taking it t the hospital is it something that I would need there? I didn't think I would really need it yet but I really don't know much about breastfeeding yet.

what about people that haven't registered or homeless people or people that weren't seeking medical care. that just seems insane so they would let a babe just sit w/o a diaper or mom just bleed all over herself. they have to have those items. wow i know a lot of us in America talk about having free ins. like Canada but that sounds crazy.

If you are planning on nursing then you should not use a pump until you need to and nursing is well established. Pumps do not have the same suck as nursing and some women don't get very much milk from them(also since the same hormones are not at work)which would give you a false since that you didn't have "enough" milk. The most important thing that will make nursing easier is getting the latch right (having babe open wide) and nursing often. anytime you here a sound from babe they are either wet or want some boobie

I don't think its all of Canada, I'm sure other places are better with it lol but my hometown hospital. As soon as you start seeing a doctor they will tell you the hospital carries nothing so you have plenty of time to get ready. And once you get to the hospital they check to make sure you have that necessary stuff, I assume if you don't they ask you to send someone to Walmart next door? Not quite sure. I just know I've already had plenty of warnings so far lol funny how different things can be.

Our family is now complete - no more babies for us. We didn't get our girl but I wouldn't trade my boys for the world, so in love.

Actually they made me use my pump in the hospital to help bring my milk in. I didn't bring it the first time and had to send hubby back home for it. This time the hospital is 45 minutes away so I will be bringing in my pump. Yes it is true that it doesn't have the same suction as the infant but I got an amazing amount of milk from my pump. I guess it depends on the pump and the person :-) but again I want to stress the use of the pump was only to help bring the milk in not to substitute for anything. The baby got plenty of boob time.

Here too! They supplied everything! But if you prefer to use your own pads, stuff for baby, etc... Then def pack it in your bag. I know some women are particular about the types of feminine products they use. We pay for that stuff here at our hospitals so I use it ALL, lol.
