Csection with triplets

[kentDee]

Hello. Can anyone help me pack my hospital bag for 3 babies? Do I need two separate bags one for me & one for them?

Hi,

How far are you?
To be honest all the triplets I've met were born quite early and stayed in special care a few good weeks.
(twins mum here).

You need a few tiny baby size vests and baby grows, hats and the size before newborn of nappies, also cotton to clean babies botties as they will be too sensitive for wipes.
he nurses and consultants will let you know what else you need to take. They ask families to take disposable nappies.
It really depends how early your babies are born.

My babies were taken into observation at birth, were there naked a bit, then they dressed with their premie clothes from the hospital and only next day I started putting the things I bought for them.
Back a bag separate for you.
I stayed 2 weeks in a room just next door to the special care and was always popping in to breastfeed my babies.
Plan for a lengthy stay at hospital.

Why don't you give your hospital a call and ask if there is anything special it might be handy to take.
They'll understand a call from a mum excepting triplets. :)

Forgot to say: Join TAMBA.
You'll meet lots of mums of triplets there who are going through the same and will be able to help you.

Thanks sock washer. That's a great help.

I packed one bag for me and one for my twins using the TAMBA checklist which I thought quite thorough. One suggestion I was given but didn't get time to do because the babies surprised us and came early, was to sleep with their special blankets so that they would smell like me. After my c section the girls were taken straight to scbu and I didn't get to see them for 12 hours so it would have been comforting for them to have them.
