Hospital Bag - What To Pack

[x-amy-x]

alteasdale, You might want to consider packing some 0-3 month clothes - you never know you might have a whopper that won't fit in newborn clothing!!

I'm the opposite, I packed 0-3 because then I won't be disappointed when she's 10lb

If she's a 10lber i'm sure i wont mind her being stark naked for a while... serves her right for being so big ... Only joking...

I suppose i better go put in some 0-3's then... But i only have pink 0-3's... she might be a boy... oh dear

Now i'm just stressing for stressing's sake... she's not gonna be big OK. My hoo har will be shredded

My OH reckons the bigger she is the easier it will be, as she will have more momentum behind her... i'm not convinced

I was 10lb so I'm not taking any chances!

I'm sorry alteasdale, this just really made me giggle

will i need a towel for her or will the hospital have some i can use?

I haven't packed mine yet, but i did buy some MASSIVE pads today that i swear are about the length of a ruler (30cms) But hey... be prepared!

 

[Serene123]

Yeah I couldn't believe how big maternity pads are. That made me wonder just how much we're going to bleed! (Please girls, that wasn't a question, I don't want to know!! )

 

[x-amy-x]

I didn't buy maternity pads... i bought Always Maxi ... they come in box and the box only has 28 in it!!!

goes to show how big they are, the maternity pads looked even worse.

 

[Serene123]

I got 10 maternity pads in a pack and the packs are MASSIVE.

 

[x-amy-x]

I think it would be amusing for me to just not pack my bag, and see what my oh could put together for me when i 'forget' to take mine to the hospital... i wonder what it would have in it...

 

[Serene123]

Well when I was in with the pre-e scare my mum had to get me a bag together. She managed to forget my toothbrush and clean underwear! Straight after that, I prepared..

I'm in stitches here alteasdale!


Why are you so convinced she isn't a girlie??

Because it's too good to be true. I was so hoping for a girl and now i know she's a girl i have to keep pinching myself. Not to mention keep looking at her private parts on my scan dvd. I don't think i'll truely believe it till she's in my arms.

I think mine is finally packed (sort of).

I have for me:

2x Towels
3x pairs of seriously cheap knickers (£1.50 for a pack of 5 in George at Asda)
2x night dresses
1x pair of socks
1x Nursing bra
1x hair brush, lip balm and hair tie
A pair of loose trousers and one of OH's t-shirts to go home in (he doesn't know yet).
1x Mini shower gel & toothpaste
1x pack of maternity towels
A few breast pads

For baby:

about 12 nappies
Cotton wool
An old flannel for the first poo
3x Newborn sleepsuits
3x Newborn vests
1x Hat
1x Shawl
1x pair of scratch mits
1x Muslin Square
1x Scratch mits

I think thats everything. I still have to remember to put my spare tooth brush in there. Been thinking about it for days but still not done it! Also I will probably take my Nintendo DS since it looks like I could be in there for a while now! Oh and the camera.

I'm addicted to animal crossing & mario so they will both be coming with me!! It's a shame I can't take my laptop and sit on B&B while I'm in labour. That would keep me busy!!

 

[Linzi]

My OH bought me Zoo Tycoon.

BIG mistake.

[Serene123]

They should get wireless set up in the labour wards!

I have that too. It's another one I can't stay off even though as soon as I've built a zoo I start again.
