Is there a limit I can take?
I packed my hospital bags this week, I've read all the threads about what to put in etc but I have ended up with 2 cases! One medium size one for me in labour and after and another small travel case for baby's stuff.
I found it so hard to pick outfits for LO that I ended up doing what i do when I go and see my girlies for a weekend and putting 2 or 3 outfits in. I also have been given lots of premature and early baby stuff so I thought it best to take a few of each size just in case, obviously if it gets to 40 weeks I can take the smaller ones out but they're only tiny and don't take up much room anyway.
Will the hospital say i have too much and tell me I can't take it all in?
Thanks

As long as it all fits into your bedside cupboard I dont see what they can say.
Will your OH be able to stay with you for as long as you want Zoey with it being a private room? My hubby wants to stay with me as long as he can.
When my friend had her little boy (at another hospital) the minute she got on the ward he had to leave as it was 11ish at night. She hadn't had baby that long.

If your having trouble fitting things in your bag, rolling up your clothes helps make room for more! I foudn this out when we went on honeymoon! xxx
I'm gatecashing from baby! I took 3 bags!!! one for my stuff inc towels and clothes and another with my soap, shampoo etc and then another with my babies things in. Trust me you cant take enough! You have to be prepared incase you need to stay in for any reason. I ended up in hospital for a week so my hubby had to keep bringing me things and taking washing home. Remember to take your dressing gown, it was the one thing i forgot and turned out to be one of the most important things!!! Take nice big towels aswell!
BE PREPARED!!!!
Good Luck!

I tried to get everything as small as possible. I bought a new dressing gown which seemed like a rip-off as I have 2 already but I wanted a really lightweight one that wouldn't take up room so you could do that if you haven't already. Trainer socks instead of thick ones. Smaller bottles of shampoo or a mini toothbrush...it all makes it fit a bit better!!
I know how u feel though as my bags barely zipped up. I wouldn't worry, as they can't tell you that you have too much when all the lists are sooo stupidly long.
