Dun dun dun... i've packed my hopsital bag!

[teamrigby]

As it says on the tin, I've finally packed my bag. My friend was nagging me at my baby shower yesterday, so I finally packed it last night :)

Just need to add a couple of last minute bits like chargers, drinks, etc - quite pleased that I have finally packed it but now worried I've forgotten something lol!!

Same here. And wrote my birth plan too. 38+1 today so it was time!

[teamrigby]

Ooo haven't wrote my birth plan as yet, but have it all in my pregnancy app :)

[acquiescence]

What have you packed? I'm 39+1 and have only partly packed my stuff! Need to do one for baby and finish mine. So far I have nighties, some snacks, big pants, breast and maternity pads, cosmetics, magazine. What else...?

For baby i have baby grows and vests, cardi, hats, blanket, packet of nappies. All newborn/first size and will leave others at home (we are only 5 minutes from hospital)

I am planning a home birth so hoping won't need bags!

Don't forget toiletries! I am 35 weeks tomorrow and have started to put some things together - so far have a nightie, dressing gown and flipflops for me, and yesterday my mum gave me lots of nice sanctuary toiletries. I also have a travel size toothbrush and toothpaste and a towel.

Haven't got as far as baby things though...!
