Ok so I'm 37 weeks pregnant with DC2. I can't actually remember what kind of bags I packed for DS1 6 years ago. But basically this time I've got a baby changing bag for baby. Plus a medium sized suitcase (one up from cabin size) for me. Oh. And I have gestational diabetes so I have a seperate small food bag for GD friendly snacks for labour 🙈 I'm freaking out a bit that the midwives are gonna laugh at me for looking like I'm going on a two week holiday to Spain!
I am being induced so expect to be in at least 2-3 days, maybe more, and have packed 2 of most clothes (pj's, comfy troos, tops). This is my minimum really as I always like to have a spare of what I need. I have also packed a few things like blanket, pillow, magazines, TENS, etc in the suitcase. And I still have a bit of room in there. So it's not like it's rammed full of stuff.
But just wondered if this is ridiculous and what others have done?? I was thinking about packing a small 'labour' bag just for stuff for labour and then leaving another bag in the car for post labour clothes, pads etc etc. But with the induction I thought actually, if we will be hanging around a bit, I might need/want a change of clothes etc and all the stuff in one bag.
I also have a back up bag at home for DH to grab after a few days to replenish supplies if we stay in more than what I've prepared for.
Just don't want to look like a diva or a prat!
