I remember when my water broke, I hastily tossed my Dyson Airwrap into my bag. It might seem excessive, but having a quick hair blowout postpartum gave me a moment to feel more like myself after such a transformative experience. Everyone has their personal preferences when packing, and while hospitals provide basics like postpartum care items and diapers, some moms prefer to include quirky items that create a more familiar atmosphere.
