Baby's hospital bag.. DONE. :)

[ClairAye]

So this morning I decided to start packing baby's hospital bag, just putting a few bits and bobs in, when I realised that I have everything we need to take with us..

Now I just need to sort my own out and everything is set for the big day!

I can't believe I'll have my baby in 5-10 weeks! (not liking the sound of the last one and the first is highly unlikely!) 7 1/2 weeks till my due date!

.. Pointless but I'm happy

I'm 38 weeks today, and I still haven't finished my bag! I haven't even started on the baby's

aww yay!
quick question though, what have you put in there? i've started getting a few things together but i'm just unsure about what to put in there... like how many nappies, are you taking bottles etc
i can see me just packing my whole nursery in there

I just got so bored so decided to sort it out, I have nothing for mine at all, except my dressing-gown, which I already own, everything else mainly is going to have to be bought

I still need to put things like a blanket, baby silencer (OH's name for dummy ), possibly a couple bottles since I plan to only BF and want to be able to express, and I have mini toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, lotion to put in my bag.

Oh I also have two hats in there lol, I forgot about blankets! But the hospital will have some I'm sure and we have a little hooded wrap thing for in the car seat..

Yeah I'm buying all small things for me inc;
Shampoo
Conditioner
Deodorant

I'll have three-four over-sized tops, a pack of 5 big black granny pants , dressing gown, slippers, a pair of pjs, and I'll put all other things like camera and charger, phone charger, straightners, hairbrush, make-up all that sorts in before I go in

 

[Miss_Quirky]

Oh, forgot about chargers and stuff.....I should write a list of last-minute things and put it on my wall so I don't forget

yeah, my hospital has blankets too, I just want him to have a soft fuzzy blanket from home to be wrapped in

 

[ClairAye]

Haha I think I will too! I know I'll forget! Lol

Yeah, I'd still prefer my own ones 100%!

 

[x__amour]

That's great! I packed my bag... When I was leaving to be induced.
Well done being prepared!

 

[ClairAye]

Haha I think it's the only thing I've not left until last minute.. We still need our cot

 

[fl00b]

i can see me running round when i'm in labour trying to get everything together that's me all over!

 

[ClairAye]

That's normally me too! But I did this so it can sit in a bag for 5-10 weeks
