I wish I could wear lounge pants. We're not allowed to wear any bottoms cept for undies. They said it's too much of a pain cause they check you too often, even after the birth. I bought a bunch of cheap tshirts to wear. I'm all packed up now, cept for my pillow and 'blankie'
in retrospect, here is what I had used from my list and what was pretty useless.
Items in RED were never used.
Hospital Bag List
Labour Birth plan - blargh, I never even remembered to bring this.
Insurance papers
Health card paper Night gown - if you are having an epi, you will have to wear the hospital gown, which really isn't that bad. PJ's - bottoms are a must. Under the hospital gown. They come in very handy at night.
Slippers (flip-flops) Skin lotion
Labello
SnacksGranola bars are excellent
Water: BRING A LOT OF BOTTLED WATER Shampoo
Conditioner
Nail clippers Music
Digital camera
Batteries
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Towels
Mirror
Deodorant
Tylenol
Breast pads
Nursing bra
Panties Book
Mp3 player
Sanitary pads: bring some with you but the hospital provides a LOT
Baby's stuff
Car seat
Blanket
Clothes Diapers - never even opened my pack since the hospital provided as many diapers as we needed
Hat Scratch mittens - these are a MUST. Mia was born with SUCH long nails that she kept scratching her face. Also, get the smallest size possible. They fall off easily. Cotton wool
Burp cloth
Wash cloth - never used any of these
Also, baby's bathing products: they gave her one bath in the hospital and we never even needed any of our own stuff.
One thing I wish I had with me: breast pump!!!!!

I've only got my bag done. Will be washing baby's stuff tomorrow so hopefully will get other bag done this week. I think I'm putting it off cause it makes it all more real, that we're gettin ready for labour,

Haha I thought the exact same thing but I did it and it still doesn't feel real. The thing that did was the tour round the delivery suite that I pretty much cried my eyes out all the way round haha. Hormones!
Finally got round to packing mine 2 nights ago, just need to put the camera in now and change for the hospital pay phone and car park then think we are done
, that's me screwed!! I was having real bad cravings last night for a JD & Diet Coke with ice and a slice of lime!!
