Hello there, I am just getting my hospital bag organised (due on 27th Dec) and this is what I have so far.
Me
1 X Nightdress to give birth in
1 X loungewear tracksuit bottoms for after the birth
1 X matching loungewear top
1 X vest top
3 X massive knickers
10 X maternity/always pads
3 X tena-pants... more (incase I prefer these)
Basic make-up
Make-up removal wipes
Moisteriser
Shampoo
Conditioner
Body wash (I can't remember from last time - will I need an unperfumed etc one incase of stitches etc?)
2 X nursing bras
1 X pair of slippers
MP3 player containing hypnobirthing recording
Baby
2 X sleepsuits
2 X vests
1 X snowsuit
1 X hat
1 X packet babywipes
10 X nappies
1 X jar of sudocreme
Does my list seem horrendously long or seriously lacking?
Do you think - for after the birth - I'd be better taking something that would also be suitable incase of C-section? In this case, what?
I've heard some people take their own pillows and things like personal DVD player/candles with them - anyone done this? Is it a good idea?
