.. sort of about hospital bags. If I put everything in that I want to, it'll be a suitcase!!

So, I've put my labour stuff in (possible pool bra top, socks, massagy bits, flannels), and stuff to have a shower afterwards (was stuff, big towel, flipflops), and then two clothes options for being on a ward for a bit (long nightshirt if I end up with a catheter, PJs if not, plus the big pant and sleeping bra things) and things like arnica, paracetamol, earplugs, eye mask etc. I'll also put in my V pillow.

Then obviously a few nappies, vests/sleepsuits and blanket, hat for baby and things for changing.

I don't need anything else do I? If I'm going to need to stay in for more than a night, then boyfriend can go and get stuff. I've packed another bag with that sort of stuff in that he can just pick up if he needs to.

Is that about right? Obviously there is a bag of food and drinks too, and boyfriend will have a spare t-shirt.

I did have a suitcase!

I've got a small carry on type case for my stuff, it's all the towels and maternity pads taking up the room. Then I've got the changing bag with baby's things in, DP has a rucksack with snacks, spare t-shirt etc and then there is another bag to leave in the car in case I'm in for more than a night or two with more clothes & going home clothes. If I leave it to DP to bring me extra stuff I'll end up with a thong & normal size skinny jeans!

I had an overnight bag with my essentials, a baby changing bag full of baby essentials and then an ikea laundry bag thing with all the "extras", last time husband nipped out and got the ikea bag before he went home- I knew I would be staying in as section, got the same 3 bags packed for this baby (come on baby!!!)
