Wow seems like you have everything covered there x

The only things I would say from what I've been told is to take 2 blankets, incase one gets sicked on, and also might be worth taking a 0-3 vest & sleepsuit incase bubs is big when they're born. I also might not bother with the razor for you. After giving birth I don't think you'll really give a crap if you have hairy armpits/legs

Sounds good though xx

Good list hun. I would say put 2 towels in, the one you use for your shower st after labour will be quite bloody, so pack another small one just in case you are in overnight for the following morning. You could also put a sponge/flannel/some plastic bags for dirty clothes/cream to take any make up off or moisturise skin/pack tissues. I have only packed about 5/6 nappies (you could put rest in car in case need more but free space in your bag as they are a bit bulky).

To save on space you could put the baby blankets and going home clothes/snowsuit all in your carseat (tied into a big bag) and leave it in the car until you are ready to go home.

Hope that helps hun. x

Looks good - maybe a towel for baby.

Lots of old pants or disposable pants for after.

Also a bendy straw... so if you are leaning forward during labour you don't have to sit back to have a drink.

Sanitary pads for afterwards, the hospital does supply these, but if you're picky like me, you'll want your own.
