Hospital Bag.
Girls,
For those of you who have been there before what did you pack for pre/post labour and of course your little one?
&&& what came in useful & what did you find a waste of time packing?
Im 30 weeks next week so im planning on packing my bag then.
Just incase.
At the very start of my pregnancy i had to have a hospital stay & my OH packing skills were not all that.
Blessss, so i know i need to be prepared.
