Hello, I’m sure I’m not the only one with this issue so hope I don’t annoy anyone who’s answered similar threads already, but how did you stop your hospital bags from overflowing!
I’ve looked through all the lists of recommended items and have packed a bag for my dh (spare outfit, snacks, drinks and deodorant).
A bag for myself with snacks, going home outfit, pjs, old t shirt of dhs for during labour, nursing bra, maternity bra, underwear, socks, toiletries, towels, flannel and flip flops.
My baby bag consisting of three outfits including her going home one, blanket (traditional family one passed down all babies have worn in pictures so can’t leave it at home!) , swaddle, towel, two Muslim cloths, socks, hat and wipes. As well as a seperate wet bag with some reusable nappies and inserts that we’re planning to use.
The problem is that we now have three (and a half bags including the nappies and inserts) to take into the hospital with us and I’m worried the midwives will think we are taking the pee!
We won’t have our car in the car park to leave any in either as my mil is taking us to save us parking costs (she’ll be picking up the dog at the same time for however long we are in there so it helps save us money but not an extra journey for her).
Does this seem excessive to anyone else or is this normal and I’m worrying for no reason? I don’t want them thinking we’re trying to move in!
