Remind me what I need

[motherofboys]

Its been 3 and a half years since my last home birth and I know the midwife when she does my appointment to book it will give me a list, but I want to start getting my home birth box ready now LOL
So I have;

For the birth itself:

Cheap shower curtain to protect floor where I'll be giving birth.
Towel to wrap baby in straight after.
My midwife notes.

For myself after:

Breast pads
Nursing Bra
Big cheap knickers
Maternity Sanitary Towel things
PJs

For baby after:

Clothes (Vest, Sleepsuit and Hat)
Nappy
Blanket

Plus the camera to snap his first pictures.

That's pretty much the basics right? Obviously I have towels etc readily available for myself for bathing after the birth and some where to put him while I'm in the bath and DH helps clean up. And I'll be breastfeeding so don't need to make sure I have any feeding stuff prepared.
I'll also be packing a hospital bag just in case.

Maybe stick some snacks in? It wouldn't be any fun to go into labor an hour before you go to the store to restock your empty kitchen.
