3rd pregnancy -what to take to hospital??

[druscilliah]

Afternoon all ?? so im 33 weeks with my 3rd bump (total shocker!) Its been 9 years since i last had a baby and im at a complete loss as to what to pack for baby when she's ready to make an appearance! I've searched and can only find info on what to pack for first pregnancy ?? can anyone offer some advice on what i should pack for bump, how many baby grows etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated ?? thanks for reading x

Pretty sure you need the same stuff whether it's your first baby or your tenth....

Congratulations!

With my second I took less than with the first but things that were more useful (iyswim).

I took plenty of vests, babygrows, hats etc for baby. For me I took a couple of nighties for giving birth (not that I used them but that was down to the birth), pj bottoms and vest tops because I would be more constable in them after labour. Came home in them actually! Lots of knickers and socks. Slippers and hoody. Hairbrush, bobbles, toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel (all travel size), flannel and towel. I also took bottles of flavoured water and some starburst! I enjoyed them at three in the morning when I couldn't sleep

I'm interested to know what you think you would need which would be different with it being your third?

Maybe, as it was 9 years ago the OP doesn't remember what she took last time and would just like a little helpful reminder! As I'm only on baby no. one I can't really help but good luck with everything OP and hope some others can give you some useful advice, like Polarbear did!
There is a ' what to pack in hospital bag' list on mumsnet under the pregnancy section, I believe.

I am due third baby in a couple of weeks and looked back at a list I made for myself after first baby as to what was helpful and not.

Things in my hospital bag:

Mat pads (lots - you bleed a lot)
pillow and case (crap ones i don't mind throwing away(
spare phone charger (as both previous times I left mine in delivery room)
flip flops - to wear in shower
socks (because hospitals hot but feet always cold)
three times nighties/pyjamas as they get icky and I wanted to feel clean
5 x vests and baby grows for newborn with spares at home for dh to pick up if we stayed in longer. also card and hat and outdoors outfit for journey home and blanket
clean comfy clothes to go home in
pen and paper to write down questions for doctors in case I forgot
started pack of milk and bottles in case bf not working (again)
newborn nappies
cotton wool
barrier cream
flannels
snacks for me for post birth including drinks
money for snack machines etc
hairbands
shower gel

think that's it. x
