What are ppl doing about hospital bags?

Where are you getting all your stuff?

I had some of it already, the rest I’ve ordered online, just have to pray it comes in time! Boots and eBay have been my friend 😂

Superdrug click and collect! Life saver!

No idea because Boots maternity pads are out of stock and it says they’re not expecting any more stock . I usually buy theirs so genuinely not sure which to use now, the only others I can find online are expensive as hell. Boots website has been a total nightmare recently, they’ve had a queue with 200k people waiting to get on the site.

Not ideal but if your local pharmacy had cotton wool pleat that could be the thing... I am using those on to of pads when I have heavy periods and planning to use them after birth... Had some other bits bought already, some others I may need to do without or will try to order online.

God I just double checked my boots order from the other day, I’ve bloody ordered the breast pads not the maternity pads 🤬 I HATE disposable breast pads and I don’t even know if I can donate them at the moment with the current situation!! £6 wasted 😔

Plus there’s the simple fact that I don’t know where to get maternity pads from and I’m due in 8 weeks with the likelihood of her coming coming early!

Got all of mine in the supermarket!

Try amazon, lots listed there

These are great, I’ve also seen them in Aldi for 99p and in Asda & Morrison’s. If you are doing online food shops, I managed to get some from both Morrison’s and Sainsburys.

If the worst comes to the worst, I’ve happily managed on Always maxi period pads. Maybe I’ve been lucky with bleeding but it’s never been so heavy that I’ve needed an enormous pad either pregnancy! The period pads are so super absorbent these days that they are just as good as a thick one! The only thing that’s nice with maternity pad thickness is the comfort of the padding, especially if you’ve had stitches!

I just ordered maternity pads with my tesco order. I usually get boots too but cant even get on their website atm!

If u up early doors like 6am there is barely a queue onlike for boots. I suffer from severe HG and get little to no sleep which is how i know.

I would check local supermarkets for stock of maternity pads. Amazon, ebay, superdrug and boots have all had a helping hand online for my hospital bag.

Tesco have everything you need or if you are an Amazon prime member delivery is still quick.

I used Asda own maternity pads and breast pads.

What other items are you missing ?
