Ashley Iaconetti is getting ready to welcome baby No. 2!

On Thursday, July 18, the Bachelor in Paradise star, 36, told followers on her Instagram Stories that she's been preparing her hospital bag — and she's bringing something unique with her this time around.

After talking fans through the usual hospital bag items, Iaconetti — who also shares son Dawson, 2, with husband Jared Haibon, 35 — revealed "other unique things" that she's packed.

"I'm packing this ring light because I actually want Jared to get more content of me in labor this time," she told the camera.

"All the angsty 'get the camera out of my face,' I want it on camera because it was hilarious, we didn't have enough of it," Iaconetti insisted.

The reality star continued, "Then I have temperature regulating things because... ice packs before getting the epidural, it helps!" She also revealed she's taking a fan that squirts water, a gel eye mask that she's going to put in the freezer and a neck fan.

Iaconetti is also taking a "couple of pairs of comfies and a couple of onesies" to make sure she and her little one are comfortable.

Earlier in the Instagram Stories posts, Iaconetti called herself a "hypocrite," telling followers, "First I want to tell you that what's in your hospital bag is just a social media talking point, it's like who asked that question before social media was a thing?"

"Such an influencer thing, but I am an influencer!" she laughed.

"There's not a lot in this and it took me like 10 minutes tops to pack it, because the hospital is most likely going to have everything you really need," the reality star said.

Back in February, Iaconetti and Haibon, who tied the knot in 2019 after meeting through the Bachelor franchise, revealed they were going to be boy parents for a second time.

While speaking to PEOPLE in May, Iaconetti said that the reality of having two kids was starting to kick in.

"I think we're obviously a little nervous about how to juggle two," she said. "We are more nervous this time than last time just because you realize how much of a significant lifestyle change it is to have a child."

"But I think we're just curious and anxious to see how it is to keep two people alive," Iaconetti continued. "But then I'm a lot less nervous about birth because I was petrified of it the first time around, and now I'm like, 'Oh no.' "

With the end of her pregnancy on the horizon, Iaconetti told PEOPLE she's most excited for her son Dawson to become a big brother.

"I think that he's going to be extremely affectionate ... wanting to be very helpful, and I think that'll just melt my heart," she said.
