Recommendations on hospital bag/case

5 replies

I’m from the UK , I will be having my baby in 7 weeks by elective C-section. However I’m struggling to find a hospital bag/case. I don’t want anything too huge but I can’t use a bag bag as my husbands disabled and can’t carry it so will need to have wheels due to me not being able to carry too much. Does anyone have any recommendations? I will be in a minimum of 2 nights , 1 being the night before and night of my C-section xx

Have you got a normal cabin size wheeled case? Just use that, doesn't have to be anything special.

I'd use something you already have if possible and if not something you'll definitely use again because it's for such a short period. I don't remember what bag I took for my first and I was in for nearly a week.

Could you borrow one if you wouldn't use it again?

What do you already have with wheels?
A cabin bag can be put under the bed.

I gave birth during the pandemic and it wasn't a given that my partner would be allowed in when I went in as I would have had to have been in established labour for him to be allowed in the hospital so I took three bags in. I had a cabin size bag which had enough for the 3 day postnatal stay I knew I would be having. I had a bag for life with snacks and nappies etc and a backpack for things I might need during labour. Including a t shirt, deodorant, change of underwear and toothbrush brush for my partner should I have a long labour.
I found this was easier for me to manage when moving around the hospital and it was helpful to have the things I needed for labour separate from things I needed post birth.
