im going to be starting to buy things ready for my hospital bag in a couple of weeks, i normaly pack my bag around 36/37 weeks. makes it seem so much more real when you have to get things ready, looking forward to it now
I *think* i've got everything for my hospital bag now, it seems tiny compared to last time and I'm worried I've forgotten something. I'm not going to pack anything for DH, last time he didn't eat or drink anything I'd packed him cos I wasn't allowed anything but water he didn't want to eat it in front of me! Might pack a spare t-shirt though as that would be handy.
Last time I took loads of magazines and a book for DH and some for me but this time I'm just going to get one from the hospital shop, it was 1 min from the labour suite/ward.
I have just writen out my list, sure i have forgoten something!

when i went to the hospital, i brought some hard sweets to suck on, cause your month gets really dry there, hospital food is minging, and they don't bring it to you, you have to get it yourself, had my daughter at 9.00pm, in the morning i was hungry, went to make myself some toast the bread had big bits of mould on, well put me off, called my other half to say bring me some food when you come up, what did he bring me, a big bar of chocolate, could of killed him....... Bring some magazines and bit of cash....
Make sure you know how to put that car seat in, my other half left it till the last min (idiot)...
