What to pack in labour bag?

[lollipop92]

I know it's early days yet but just wanted to know what everyone is thinking of packing in their bags to take to hospital when in labour or what you have packed in the past if you are already a mummy! I'm a first timer and don't have a clue!

Lots of pairs of large pants ( I took disposable ones first time and they were awful so second time I brought some big cheap ones from tescos) Maternity pads (a couple of packs) whatever you plan to wear to give birth in (I took 2 breast feeding nighties) a bottle of water, I didnt feel like eating either time but some snacks to keep your energy up (Raisins, cereal bars) Towells (take a couple, first time round I only took one and it got covered in blood so second time I took 2, an old one that I was happy to throw away after that first messy shower and a second one to use after that) Toiletries, hairbrush etc. Newborn nappies, a couple of babygrows and sleepsuits, an outfit / snowsuit for the baby to wear home, blanket for the baby, a change of clothes for yourself to wear home
