  I took a weekend wheelie suitcase (my stuff), primark weekend bag (baby stuff), shopping bag (food supplies!), birthball and feeding pillow with elsie!!! I just kept making DH go back to the car to get stuff!! He didn't have anything better to do whilst I was in labour so had to get him to work some how!!
  
  
  
  We got a couple of comments about how much stuff I'd packed but ALL of it was used as I was in for so long! I didn't have to keep asking DH to bring stuff in I just gave him the washing to take home!! Much easier!! And all the food got eaten as labour lasted forever and they didn't feed me after for ages!!!
  
  
  
  for the nighties: Primarni?? Matalan? and I think the big asda in morley had some in the george section at the weekend x

  I went to asda tonight i couldn't see any nighties with the buttons but that maybe because the other half was rushing me and complianing i was taking to long.
  
  
  
  Anyway i ended up getting some little angels maternity pants, nipple cream, babys going home outfit, 2 hats, 2 pairs of lil booties, socks, baby blanket, bibs and muslin squares (even though i wasn't sure what muslins are used 4 but there down on the hospital bag checklist lol).
  
  
  
  Anyway i forgot to get some little toiletries from asda, pregna brain certainly has kicked in and also i was looking for maternity breast feeding bras, and i couldnt find any of them at all (thats if they even exist).
  
  
  
  I have decided am using my big gym bag for the baby and the partners big gym bag for my things

  I got my button down nighties in the sale at Mothercare last time. ONly got one left so will try matalan for one. Good tip ladies. Really need to get thinking about all this...
  
  
  
  Bought breast pads, one unisex outfit and some maternity towels at the weekend but still so much to sort. Still got 8 weeks, that's plenty of time right?!! x

  My hospital bag I bought in a sale at Debenhams, travel sports style bag on wheels, fits everything in just right. Button front/feeding nighties you can find at Matalan, Mothercare & Next.co.uk for various prices & lengths.
