I made sure I purchased travel size bottles of toiletry items, such as toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash, hand-sanitizer, q-tips, shampoo/conditioner, shaving cream etc... I had a travel brush set and nail filer which I put in my bag. I purchased my breast pads and hemorroid pads and had a large stock of maxi pads already which I put in the bag as well. The only things I need to toss in the bag are my stretch mark cream and my nipple cream. Otherwise I'm good to go.
I do not know when I will go into labour and how strong the contractions will be. I do not want to be rushing around trying to remember what I did and didn't pack. I want to be as calm and relaxed as possible.
It's a personal choice really.
And I will not depend upon my hubby to pack my bag cause he will not know what I need. And like another girl said, he'll probably pack my thongs :>
