Zoe - you can get the lucozade sweets in boots.

Lucy - I'd take your digital camera chick just make sure it's insured away from home in case of the dropping accident you're worried about - Disposables don't always work and you'll regret not having your own pictures later. I once used 3 disposables and 4 rolls of film on a holiday and only had 26 photos that developed correctly out of the lot, I wouldn't risk it again xx

I'm not taking anything to bath baby as last time I was in they told me they don't do that anymore and they didn't I was in there for 4 days and he never had a bath just a wipe with cotton wool n warm water he even came home with the birthing stuff still in his hair. needless to say we got it out as soon as we was home

just a little thing im going to pop in is a packet of lucozade energy sweets for labour!  when i had my daughter my midwife kept popping them in my mouth n they said to  keep it at the side of your gums to dissolve and give you energy! worth a try if i can find some!!!! x

And Im taking my own Black towel (No idea what hospital ones are like but Id rather have my own anyway)  And nearer the time I will be putting a pillow from home in the car boot incase I have to stay. 

Oh and slippers.

And a bottle of baby bath (Again some wont let you use it, but mine ask you to bring your own)

xx

you should maybe take cotton wool my mw never likes us to use wipes x

don't forget change for car parking and lists of important telephone numbers x although i haven't done mine yet lol!!

Oh yeah, im making a wash bag up of Mini's, and if I dont use them ill just keep them for holidays etc.

And my make-up and hairbrush are always in my handbag, which hopefully i will remember to take!

And Im taking baby wipes (I think some hospitals dont allow you to use them, but the list which the midwife gave me off stuff to bring includes wipes, plus I use them for taking my eye make-up off at night time anyway)

bloody hell I have forgot so much.  Think I need to get a bigger case lol

Disposible Camers (Dont want my new digital one getting dropped in all the excitment lol)

Comming home outfit for both of us.

(Ive also packed underwear for me trackies and loose tops, and vests/sleepsuits for baby for 3 days just incase I end up with a C-Section)

Plus all the things you have below. xx

You will need something warm for the baby to wear for coming home. Make sure you have packed an outfit for yourself, make sure it is stretchy as your tummy will not go back to what it was before you were preg right after giving birth

I know, I know how many more times are people going to ask about hospital bags. 

I have tried to look back to see if I can find a previous thread went back to page 17 but nothing. so here goes.

What have we all packed I may have forgot things this is what I have so far.

Nappies, Wipes, Grows, Vests, Mitts, Hats, Slippers & Blanket.

Nighties, Birthing Shirt, Towel, Toothpaste, Shower gel, dressing gown.

I am hoping not to be in there very long mw says if all goes well then be out in 6 hrs could be as early as 2 if all really ok with it being my 2nd.
