What should I pack for me? I feel stupid because I've already done the whole birth thing but they said I wasn't allowed my hospital bag because it was too big so they just took out something to put him in when he was first born and a nightie for me to change into after the birth :s

i've packed:

2 x Pjs

a pair of slippers
a dressing gown
a towel
3 x socks
5 x underwear
toiletries
2 x packs of maternity towels
1 pack of breast pads
cooling spray
nipple cream
1 pack of nappies
cotton wool
2 x bottles
4 x cartons of ready milk
1 x bottle brush
4 x muslin squares

[stefb]

my MW told me my hospital are stopping providing bottles...this would be a nightmare how would you make them, sterilize them things like that stupidity

 

[ricschick]

that is so stupid if they are intending on doing that! how are you meant to predict when you will go into labour so you can have bottles ready??

 

[Roxie]

Mark got kicked out once I'd had Chloe, despite there being complications with both me and the baby. I was wheeled to the ward in tears at 5.30 am and he was sent away in tears

Hospitals are so careless.

When I was in hospital last week, two ladies next to me were in labour and over 4cm's dilated and their husbands were sent away at 8pm.

OMG i cant believe they sent them home luckly my hospital is quiet good but if i had of been 4cm+ dilated and they sent him home he would have not of left!!

 

[BeckyBoo]

Oh... dunno if it's mentioned, but a good pile cream will come in handy, haha!

 

[Jinty]

They shouldn't send them away if you have your own room right? Cause the ward I'm in I get my own room so I've been told.

I think it's just different hospitals policies.
