hi, any idea if i should consider packing a gro-bag for baby for first night/s in hosp or will i not be allowed to use it (providing he is big enough anyway) or should i just go with using blankets in hospital and worry about bags when i get home?

I would leave it out, hospitals will provide sheets and blankets, chances are itll be hot there aswell.

I doubt you would need it hun, in my experience hospitals specially maternity wards are really really hot xx

I agree with Sarah and AG, I was on the ward last sunday and I was SWELTERING.

carrier bags and a watch or something!

i came home with 4 times as much
as i went in with after bringing in more
clothes for little un
and they turn the lights off at night
and i had to keep calling the nurses
to ask for the time!!

Quick question - I bought some disposable maternity briefs - any idea how many a day it's normal to get through? Are you supposed to change them each time you change a pad or is it just throw them away at the end of the day? I'll be hospital 3-5 days and have a box of 5 so far.

I put some dummys in my babys bag yesterday. I plan to try not use dummys but i guessed it was better to have them and use them than not have them and need them.

do I need to take towels?

I would maybe buy some more pants "just incase" of leaks...but if they are ok discard at the end of the day.

I also have a dummy in my bag just incase baby like to suck and its the only thing to comfort him.

I would check with your hospital if they provide towels or not...I know mine do but also some places dont. If not see if anyone on here has had a baby at the hospital your going to and see what they needed to take etc and what was provided. I did this and it was sooo helpful.
