  dont forget moisturiser and lip balm. Also a camera and some drinks/snacks, labour nightshirt or long t-shirt, breast pads, maternity pads, cheap underware (so you can just throw away). Then just pack as if you were going away for a weekend i.e. clothes, shampoo, towel etc. For baby, take 1 pack newborn nappies, cotton wool, 3 x body suits & 3 x sleepsuits.

  Hiya! You'll need comfy nighties for you and your shower things. Pack comfy clothes for coming home in and remember you'll still be big so comfy jogging bottoms are a must. Pack some nice white or unisex babygrows for your baby with cardis and vests and socks to go with each outfit. Bibs, maternity pads for you, nursing pads and a nursing bra. Cotton wool for baby's nappy changes. You'll be absolutely fine- the hospital should give you a proper list when you do your tour beforehand. You don't have to pack the earth- your partner can always bring things in for you that you need. You'll be scared of going into labour but once you're going, you're fine- even if it's not what you were expecting. And that first day when you get all of this stuff out of your hospital bag!!! It's a total dream. Good luck, chick. you'll be great.
