So I have got

2 packs of maternity pads 10 in each is that enough?
1 pack of 30 breast pads
2 nursing bras
1 button up nightie for labour and afterwards
pack of dark knickers
shower gel,shampoo and deo


Baby

3 vests
3 baby grows
pack newborn nappies
Do I need to take cotton wool?
1 shawl blanket
going home suit
hat and coat

Have I forgot anything important?

take care x

    i took most of that, but i also took spare PJs for on the ward, with dressin gown.... i used my nightie for the birth then chucked it in a carrier bag to pop in the wash at home. the hosp should supply you with maternity pads, plus i took a few home with me as i bled quite heavily. i also took some robinsons in with me as theres nothing worse than hospital water, and i took sweeties too, for labour and something sweet for an energy boost while your body is gettin over labour !
  • Oooh thanks Emily - Robinsons is such a good idea, i hadn't thought of that! image

  • uw yeah, some juice is a great idea, thanks i didnt think of that!
