What should I pack for me? I feel stupid because I've already done the whole birth thing but they said I wasn't allowed my hospital bag because it was too big so they just took out something to put him in when he was first born and a nightie for me to change into after the birth :s

i've packed:

2 x Pjs
a nighty for giving birth in
a pair of slippers
a dressing gown
a towel
3 x socks
5 x underwear
toiletries
2 x packs of maternity towels
1 pack of breast pads
cooling spray
nipple cream
1 pack of nappies
cotton wool
2 x bottles
4 x cartons of ready milk
1 x bottle brush
4 x muslin squares
3 x body suits
3 x sleep suits
2 x baby going home outfits, one for warm and one for cold weather
2 x blankets
3 x hats
3 x scratch mits
3 x booties and socks
snacks, isotonic drinks and glucose tablets

then I have a separate going home bag for my partner to take in for me when the time comes, with my own going home outfit in. will also be taking plenty of change for vending machines and car park and my mobile phone to use as a camera/video recorder.

Hope this helps x

my MW told me my hospital are stopping providing bottles...this would be a nightmare how would you make them, sterilize them things like that stupidity

ricschick

that is so stupid if they are intending on doing that! how are you meant to predict when you will go into labour so you can have bottles ready??

Roxie
