I've had the basics of my bags for the hospital packed for about a month and been adding to them as I go along, but now with only a couple of weeks to go I thought I should go back and check I hadn't missed anything. Here is what I have packed for both Baby O and me (Mr O is packing his own bag), I'm sure it is way too much, but I would rather have too much than not enough!
For Me:
- Toiletries
- Clothes to labour in - 2 x vest tops, 1 x nightie
- Socks
- 5 x cheap knickers
- Flip flops
- Breast pads
- Maternity pads
- 2 x PJs
- Maternity mats
- Drinks & snacks
- Tens machine - not shown, being delivered tomorrow
For Baby O:
- Nappies
- Water wipes
- Muslins - 2 x standard, 1 x giant
- 2 x blankets
- 4 x vests - 1 x long sleeve, 1 x sleeveless, 2 x short sleeve
- 2 x hats
- 2 x onesies
- 2 x going home outfit - 1 x up to 7lbs, 1 x newborn
- 'Snowsuit'
- Cuddly toy!
On the day I'll also be throwing in my phone charger and camera
Things I have realised I am missing…
- Towel
- Nursing bras
- Dressing gown
- Water spray
- Going home outfit for me!
