I have packed my hospital bag and baby's hospital bag just encase I go early. My Mam went early on me and my brother, and my Mother-In law went a little early on all her children, plus due to gestational diabetes there is a good chance that I can be brought in a little early to have baby. So I thought I better get prepared!
So here is what is in my hospital bag (I took the check list off the Coombe Hospital website):

I also have socks, bras, kickers, going home outfit etc in my bag but didn't take pictures as there not that exciting. I also have a smaller bag for my phone, charger, camera, magazines, books, my pillow, and snacks etc to go into nearer the time.

gosh, getting close! I don't know if I've congratulated you already or not, if not then Congrats! It's such an exciting time.
ReplyDeleteI found it scary & exciting packing my bag for hospital. I had it all mapped out, what I'd wear whilst giving birth. In the end I gave birth in the top I came in. No time or chance to change. The only thing I did manage to do was whip off my bra as it was getting on my nerves. And I hardly used anything from my carefully packed bag! But it's nice to get it all ready, and think about what you are going to need. :O)
I'm sure I'll be back before you become a mum, but in case I don't, I wish you a happy and speedy labour & birth. Just breathe, and go with the flow. Don't worry, don't panic, the body is an amazing thing. Good luck!
