Sore nipple cream

arnica

oh good thanks..forgot about slipper type things
food tend to get it in the hospital as they have a couple of shops.or will go to tescos couple of days before..lol

Camera
wipes
small change
A diary?
Remember shoes to go home in, I forgot those before!!!
Blanket for baby, I don't like the hospital ones
Magazines like 'hello' which have good pictures 'cos you'll be too tired to actually read anythin!!

Perhaps something to clean the hospital bath/shower with, they're not the cleanest of places

good luck

camera..doh

will hopefully be going in with shoes on so shouldnt forget them..pmsl

More sanitary towels

The softest toilet paper money can buy.

toilet paper....excellent soupy I always forget that and end up making Dh get some..pmsl

Yes, I thought so too until caught short in my pj's and slippers twice, you'd think I'd learn

bath and hand towels

What about senna? Stops the dreaded post birth poo being such a fearful event!

have never had the post birth poo thing but then never had stitches so hoping after having a 9lb1 and 6lb14 that shouldnt need to worry..

Senna can cross in your bmilk and make your baby ill. The hospital will have lactulose etc if needed!

take a nightie as well, i only took pjs and had to walk around ward with just the top and a pair of paper pants on

I always say it: emergency money. You never know if you will need money for parking, or food for dh while he's with you.

What about nappies? Most hospitals make you bring your own.

something to tie your hair back during labour. I obviously don't know of your follical needs, but it drove me INSANE to have my hair (newly layered) flopping onto my sweaty brow!

Lipbalm-I know that sounds a bit princessy, but my lips got really chapped during labour-becuase I was dehydrated probably, but any relief from anything irritating is a help I think...

Lanshinoh, slippers, dressing gown, disposable knickers, squash or something to drink, snacky bits for you nuts, biscuits, chocolate, socks my feet were freezing

I always forgot something and I have had 6 the last time I went to hospital I didnt take my bag as I was sure I would be going home again LOL and I worked there to

For Labour~
Lots of bottled water/lip balm (or gloss!)/face wipes/sweets?/Fluffy thick socks!

After~
Flipflops for in the shower!/Flannel (sp?)/ Definately nipple cream/pads

AND something extra warm for you both to wear home

lucozade sport is really good for when you are in labour

bendy straws or sports bottle to drink out of

nappies

Remembered the second time to put baby nail clippers in as poor DS scratched his face to pieces on the first night! Oh and def the "V" shaped pillow.
