Despite this being DC 2 I have absolutely no recollection what I need in a hospital bag. I have a vague (and slightly horrid memory) of maternity pads and disposable pants but other than that it is all a blur.

I have tried thinking about my stay in hospital and trying to think what I needed but despite being there for 7 days I really don't remember it very clearly at all. Very strange as it was only 3 years ago!

Please can someone sensible type out their list for me so I can just copy it?!

Thank you
