5 Minutes Apart: A little pampering when you need it most

Fiveminutesbag_2Get ready, get set, get packed!  It’s the end of your pregnancy and if you are like me you likely have lists out the wazoo of all the stuff you want/need to pack for your upcoming delivery. The only problem is that you feel more like getting a pedicure and taking a long nap than rushing out to the pharmacy for some travel sized shampoo and conditioner and a pack of hairbands and lollipops. Putting together a hospital bag during your third trimester can be a real drag.  Fortunately there are options to make it easier like the pre-packed hospital bags from 5 Minutes Apart

5 Minutes Apart puts together a complete list of what you’ll need to have ready on the big day and then gets you up and rolling with a stylish, rolling bag filled with all the toiletry essentials you will need — plus a few little extras. Their supplies are luxurious and nurturing, bringing a little spa pampering to your hospital room. And if anyone deserves a little pampering, it’s you, mama!

The Expecting Essentials ($79.95) bag includes a toiletry bag filled with travel-sized all-natural toothpaste, mouthwash, and deodorant, a toothbrush, and Kiss My Face shampoo and conditioner for all hair types. Also included is a beautiful bottle of Belli body wash and the very delicious Bath By Bettijo lip balm, a pack of black hair bands, comfy non-slip chenille socks, and a bag of yummy organic candy. The Labor of Love Bag ($139.95) includes all the items from Expecting Essentials plus Earth Mama’s labor massage oil, a natural sea sponge, relaxing aromatherapy lavender eye mask, and super nurturing Belli’s Breastfeedingsurvival5minutesapart All Day Moisture lotion. And if you really want to treat yourself, 5 Minutes Apart’s Due for Indulgence Bag ($314.99) adds a luxurious spa bathrobe with matching slippers (one size fits all) and VedaMama’s Nourishing Face Cream. 5 Minutes Apart also puts together delivery day kits for dads, siblings and baby-on-the-way and sells a breastfeeding survival kit ($99.99; see photo at right) for new moms.

You’ll still need to collect a few personal items with any of the bags from 5 Minutes Apart, but you won’t have to worry about heading to the pharmacy for toiletries. You’ll be pampered like a celeb. Now go get a pedicure and take a nap, okay?

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
