I have another issue, MY Maternity Bag!!!!!

I have packed clothes for me, and some basics like underwear, maternity pads, breast pads... etcc.....

But i don`t know how much to pack for each. LIke for baby clothes i really dunno what to pack, how many to pack, nappies, sleepsuits, etc...

Could anyone me again? i bought the feme pad, tens machine, and some snacks which ive started to eat already!!!

See what frustration and boredom makes you do!!!!

Could anyone just tell me how many things i need for me, husband, and Baby? Like the basics and how many to fit in the bag! Im so worried, thinking if i ended up doing a ceasarian which i don`t want to, then i`ll be staying a bit more days compared to if i hve a normal birth! So then i will need more clothes!

So all i want to know is how many clothes and things did all mummies pack and what they included in their Maternity Bag?

So far for me, I have packed 5 pairs of granny panties (they were only 94 cents), a coming home outfit (or just an outfit to wear), 2 shirts that I'm not wearing right now (just to have them) socks, pads, breast pads, nipple cream for bf, toiletries, 2 pairs of flip flops (make sure you bring shoes to match your outfits), towels. That is all I got so far for me, I'm going to buy a pair of jogging pants with an elastic waistband and a tank top to sleep in. So far that is all I have. The rest of the stuff will have to be brought in by my husband (hair straightner, any clothes I may need from home etc..). For the baby, I have diapers, sleepers, onesies (both newborn and 0-3 months), and outfits. This has pretty much stuffed the bag (cause I over pack), so I am going to use another bag for LO. I still have wipes, binkies, a hat, mittens and socks to pack. I like to over pack cause I'd rather have everything at hand than being scatter brains wondering what all do I need. Plus, I'm sure the hospital will have most items on hand. Besides, my husband is horrible about knowing where everything is so I'm trying to be prepared as much as possible and showing him where stuff is along the way.

I went to my pre-natal classes and they gave me a checklist. Sadly I'm at work right now, but once I get home I will be sure to let you know!

I haven't packed anything yet When I went on my hospital tour though they gave me a list of what to bring to the hospital for myself and the baby, really helpful
