Hospital bag - what one?

Hi all

I am wondering what bags people are taking into hospital in this current climate. I am due end of May and was going to take a hold all but now wondering is I should take a hard case cabin luggage bag. Reasons why is I won't have to carry it (going in to give birth alone more than likely) and also it's wipe clean for when I come out. I can just antibac it.

Or am I going over the top?

I hope it's not over the top as that's what I've done? I have a small cabin case on wheels packed for me and a backpack for baby.
After I put in reusable undies that look like grown up nappys Into my case it took up alot of room so I moved babys things to a backpack.
37 weeks so just waiting for the time I need them now!

Hardcases can be a pain as you have to open the whole thing right up to get even in a tiny thing out

I’d rather go for a large duffel or rucksack with some compartments

TOP TIP; get your birthing partner to pack the bag with you! Then they know what’s in it and most importantly, where it all is!
