Well, I've lent a small suitcase off my nan, & packed all of Lexie's. So that's her done. One less thing to worry about.

I'll do mine in 2 weeks. Got nothing yet.

I think Im abit sad, Ive bought MOST of the stuff for my bag and already have a few bits for bubba, the bags are in the loft but Im aiming on having them all packed and ready by beginning of December when Im 30 weeks

 

[XKatX]

I've got my case down from the loft - but thats where it ends!! I really must get going. I'm sure I've got most things I need somewhere - just need to sort it!!

Quick question - going home clothes are you packing maternity or wishfully thinking and packing normal clothes!?!

Definately Maternity stuff and comfy maternity stuff at that. I properly bawled with my first when I had to go home in Jammies coz I'd packed jeans to go home in and couldn't fit in them.

just wondered if anyone had remembered to add 'Maternity Notes' to any of the lists? Seems obvious but is the kind of thing that I'd forget.

 

[Angelmouse]

might be a silly question, but do you think they would allow us to bring ice pops for snacks?

where would you keep them.. do they have freezers? lol

If you wanted them for during labour then a thermos flask would keep them cold enough I should think.

I was told once, to expect your body to be as it was at 6 months pregnant, immediately after the birth. So whatever you fit into then should do just fine!!

Same with me. Just something elasticated as I don't know how big or small I'll be. I'm sure I really won't give a flying monkeys what I look like once I get round to going home!!!

 

[charliebear]

I cant even remember what I've packed to come home!! x

 

[MrsP]

I've just packed a top and some velour tracksuit bottoms x

 

[malpal]

Well my case and its contents is spread out in the nursery! It feels very strange seeing it all, thought it would be an eternity untill it was my turn to pack!!
Trouble is i keep putting random things in and then taking them out again! Will get to the hospital and won't know what's in there LOL!!

 

[xXDonnaXx]

I've been out & bought stuff for my bag today. I've got everything apart from:-

New Pjama's (coz mine are rubbish)..
Magazines
Sweets
Going home clothes (I'm buying some jogging bottoms & a loose top)

 

[Becky]

Well half of my bag that I have now sorted is in the baby bath, some I still need to get and some is all over the house so were doing well!!

I noticed other ladies on the ward with their hairdryers and straightners, so i've packed in travel hairdryer and will throw my straightners in when im leaving!

Also when i was getting out of the bath i was putting on some foundation and mascara and the midwife told me i was 'just right' because it gives you a lift, your sitting in hospital with barely any sleep, tired and your in pain you dont feel the best, she said its psyhcological, it just makes you feel better, even if it is just abit of foundation!
