Hospital Bag.. What do I need????

[frances123]

Hi this is my first and I need to start getting my hospital bag for myself and baby together but I have no clue what I need any help would be fantastic

And socks as some people's feet get cold in labour.

Notepad and pen, so you can write down lists of things you need dh/dp to bring in, and for notes telling him of your whereabouts (in bathroom, in scbu, gone for fresh air, that sort of thing)

Those cereal bar thingies - loads of 'em. And when early labour starts, if you get time, make about 20 rounds of sandwiches for you and DP. You'll feel mad at the time, but they will be the best sandwiches you EVER eat

i started packing mine from 20 something weeks. just put stuff in as i bought it.

Arnica tablets. I started taking them an hour after giving birth and am certain they are why my stitches healed really quickly and I had no pain from then at all
