surely hospital bag needs to be the size of a small car!

[urtwistingmymelonman]

been trying to pack my hospital bag today.
im 35+2.
so far I have packed 3 baby grows.
nappies.
cotton wool.
breast pads.
warm outfit for baby for journey home(due end of nov)
old shirt for labour.
cheapo black knickers.
baby blanket.
sanitary towels.
my bag is almost full!
have still got to pack:-
more pads as have only packed 10(may have to stay for a few days due to bleeding risk)
nighties
toiletries for me
clothes for me to return home in.
so do you think I should take it all in one go and lookm like a tool arriving at the hosp looking like im going on an all inclusive or just take the bare essentials and get oh and family to run errands for me afterwards?

Everyone is forgetting food. The ward was so busy both times after my dds I got neither a drink or the mythical toast. I considered eating my baby I was so starving. Def back food. In fact add a picnic hamper to go with your two cases!!!!
