My hospital were really fussy about cleaning and you could only take a small bag that could fit in your locker at the side of the bed. Nothing could be left on the floor. So most of my stuff had to go home again with hubby. Saying that though, he just left it in the car boot and brought it back the next day!

Have you thought about magazines/books? It may sound silly, but if you have bubba at an odd time, then have to stay a while, it won't be visiting hours so you will be on your own. Chances are you will be on a ward with other people sleeping, and bubba will just sleep, and you will probably be so wired after the birth that you won't want to sleep. I had a section so was bedridden for 24 hours and I did 2 books in 2 days!

I never used half of the stuff i took and i had a large hold all.

Ellie used 1 vest and a sleep suit i used ....

2 Pj sets (one before bath, one after)

1 nighty (laboured in)

Desposible knickers (boots own GOD SEND!)

And maternity towels ...

That bloody tired i didn't do hair/make up to go home i just wanted my bed!

Basically that was it!

Yup, got 2 books in now, mp3 player and a mini laptop dvd in car thing (has headphones too!) I was talking to OH the other day as midwife mentioned the TV's (which you have to pay for anyway) in the labour rooms hardly ever work becuase when the repair men turn up the rooms are in use so they dnt get fixed often! So we've decided to chuck that in the bag too! Depending on how long I'm in labour for watching something might help relax me a little and also keep OH entertained!

Covering every angle! I'll be turning up at the Hosp with lorry loads of bags!

Thanks for posting about packing Lil baby boo. My sister has told me to get my hospital bag packed already. I finish work next saturday so I will get organised then as I will have 8 weeks to go. Im now getting scared of the birth.

I'm scared too.....only 2 more sleeps for me!? Eeeek!!

My hospital has changed to ...

When i was in last week it was a small holdall to go in a locker everything else had to go home with OH!

I said it that it wasn't like that when i was on labor ward and the reply i got was "it is now"

Check hun, cause when you finally go up to labor ward they tell you to leave everything behind except your wash bag, clothes for baby and a change of clothes for yourself ....

They leave all your stuff by your bed on the ward un attended so be careful ...

they won't allow you to take bags up to labor ward incase they need the room around the beds for emergancies ....

Just a pre-warning and they funny about stuff due to MRSA, the less thats in the labor room the better so they say

When you have to leave stuff downstairs thats pretty normal in every hospital i think ...

They tell you not to leave valubles in your bag but your not allowed to tak a shed load up stairs with you ....
