Hospital Bag - What To Pack

[o0oCharlieo0o]

Stll not finished mine

lol me either!!! i only have a few more bits to pack though nothing really important

 

[danni2609]

I havent either

 

[Winafred]

I'm in the same boat. Just a few more things to pack. Once contractions start I'll put in my bodywash, shampoo, brush and all that good stuff. All the baby stuff and the stuff I'll need to have him is ready to go.

Hi ladies!

Well I just got home last night after having my little girl..........and here's what I didn't end up using......

books/magazines -had no time to use them!!!
gas straightners - after Olivia was born, I just didn't care what I looked like, even though I thought I would!!


I'd really recommend taking in some snacks....by the time I got to the ward afterwards, it had gone dinner time, and all they could offer me was a stale-looking sarnie....I'd packed some cereal bars, a choccie bar etc, and was so glad I had them. If you wear contacts, make sure you take your glasses too!!! I forgot mine, and ended up napping with contacts still in, as I'm lost if I don't have them!!
Also, take more baby outfits than you think you need. Olivia manged to get through 4 sleepsuits in 24 hours!!! Take baby wipes as well as cotton wool - we were allowed to use wipes for her first poo, but then were told to use cotton wool. Wipes were also useful for me to freshen up with, as in the morning, I had to wait for my OH to get there before I could go shower.

Our camera started to die a few months back, luckily the camera on my new phone is actually better than the old camera was!

I have had a change of heart about filming things though. I was dead against it, even photos, until after I had a chance to straighten myself out afterwards! But now that we're preparing for a hypnobirth I'm quite keen to film it and share it with the world! It's been such an inspiration watching them on youtube and I am perfectly happy to pass on that inspiration to others. That is, of course, assuming the practice pays off and I like what we film!

So anyway, camcorder, digi tapes and batteries are going on the packing list.

I really need to do mine. I got the bag out of the cupboard a couple of weeks ago but it's still there..........lol.

 

[redberry3]

ditto Sovereign....and we are pretty well due the same time.

I washed the sweatshirt I am wearing home last night, have pretty well everything packed for the LO.

Nothing for me though!

Just thought I'd mention that you'll have to check on bringing hot water bottle into some hospitals as they have strict rules on this now as risks of burns etc, I know bit extreme but I know there a hospital near my mum that has banned them as when moving abouth tey could leak and scald you etc.

Jsut check teh regulations in your hospital before you plan on this one as dont want you to be disappointed.

You wont need nappy cream or talc for a brand new baby as it wont have any rashes plus MWs dont reccommend you use anything like that as their skin is so delicate

Also, why are you taking a grobag?

 

[mummymadness]

I had finnley in 2007 and my local one was happy with me and my hot water bottle luckily , I loveddd it lol .
If your aloud its a great help girls .
