Hospital Bag

Packing for the hospital has never been easier, thanks to HATCH Collection and Gilt. While the idea of packing a bag of necessities for an unknown experience fills many mamas with fear, HATCH is introducing a collection of high-end birthing room essentials that reflect Ariane Goldman's belief that maternity clothes should be luxurious, comfortable, and unstructured.

The HATCH-to-Hospital box is filled with a supersoft knee-length nightgown, a gray jersey robe, a pair of gray cashmere socks, and a specially designed pair of Cosabella panty briefs so mom doesn't feel like she's sacrificing style her baby. Designed to be a grab-and-run box that eliminates the need to stew over what actually goes into a hospital bag. The box currently resides on HATCH Collection's site for $248, but on beginning on May 19 (and ending on May 22), it will appear on Gilt.com for $205 to celebrate Pregnancy Awareness Month.

Luxury does come at a price, but is this pregnancy wear simply over the top? Vote in the poll and tell us below!

The Hatch-to-Hospital Box: Ga Ga or Gag?

Ga Ga — The collection is gorgeous and it takes the thought out of the bag.

Gag — How over the top can you get? No one needs cashmere and lace after delivery!

You know you're getting close to your due date when your doctor mentions something about packing your hospital bag. While some mamas have a bag (or two, or three) packed and waiting by the door for their mad rush to the hospital, others find themselves bewildered by the entire idea of gearing up for the big day.

That's where the Mommy/Delivery BFFLBag ($120) comes into play. The stain-resistant duffle bag comes packed with everything a delivering mama could need (except an epidural!) and more. From nursing pads and perineal ice packs to shower shoes, a collapsible water bottle, a deck of cards, Kind snack bars, a nursing/post-C-section pillow, and more, the bag is designed to be grabbed as you're running out the door. But all those goodies and the convenience of having someone do it for you come at a cost — the Mommy/Delivery BFFLBag costs $120, which is likely more than any mama-to-be would spend on her own hospital goodies.

So tell us: would you pay a premium for the convenience of someone packing your hospital bag for you?
