What do I need to pack for myself?

[rebeccalouise]

Sorry, I shouldn't really be jumping over here until tomorrow, but I thought it was the best place to post this question!

I've packed baby's half of the hospital bag, and now I need to pack stuff for myself.. What do I need? I can't really remember what I packed for my first.

I've packed a dressing gown, long nightie things and pj bottoms, a wash bag, deff include lip salve and a head band to keep your hair away, mini shampoos etc.
Thick socks, maternity pads, massive pants, I pad, book, nursing bras, breast pads umm I can't remember the rest!
I was in five days last time so probably over packed!

- What you are comfortable wearing (I prefer something breastfeeding friendly, and loose fitting)
- going home clothes
- slippers
- special pads (maternity)
- witch hazel
- peri bottle
- undies
- ipad/cellphone/camera/video camera : charger for all
- bag for OH (snacks, change of clothes)
- all your things; insurance, i.d. etc
- makeup
- hairbrush
- hair clips/scrunchy
- breast pads
- nipple cream/butter
- toothbrush/toothpaste/toiletries
- your own pillow?
