Packing my hospital bag!!

babyblog · Apr 15th, 2012, 11:08 AM

Hiy, so I'm booked in or Wednesday and need to pack my bags! Anything special I need? I've got the baby's bag done- just vests, baby gros, nappies, wipes and a blanket. Anything I've missed there? For me I've got pjs and nighties, dressing gown, knickers and bras, breat pads, towels, flannel, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, wet wipes, shampoo and conditioner , phone and charger, cd.

What else do I need? I can't remember what I did last time, shall I take squash and snacks as I know il be in there for a few days, but they'll feed me won't they!! X

Definitely huge knickers that are high waisted to go over your scar

I'd packed some 2 sizes bigger than me but tried to keep them a little easy on the eye...I sent my mom to asda to get me some minging ones 4 sizes bigger than me and they looked like parachutes but I LOVED them! Lol

I'm taking dry shampoo, I dont know what if is but I really don't want to be messing about drying my hair in hospital (it's quite long so takes about an hour to hair dryer it!)

I agree, you will need the biggest, ugliest grannie undies you can find. Your tummy will be still swollen for at least the first few days so take that into consideration. You will want undies to stretch well over your scar.

I also used to tuck a maternity pad length ways along my scar inside my knickers iykwim to sort of cushion it. So yeah, pack extra maternity pads

All the best with your section xx
