Sorry just clicked copying like shev to make one big list would read better in a sticky!

Thanks ladies, I feel like a bit of a donut forgetting hat/scratch mits and toiletries

I was just looking through the post that was written when me, Suse, Mario etc were all getting our bags ready and I think we have got most things on the list on this post now, deffo think its worth asking for it to be a sticky though as we have got lots of BANDA babies due in the next few months......ohhhh I miss being pregnant lol!!!!

Would be a good idea to have it as a sticky, i'll msg Lisa/admin.

I remember missing being pregnant and then i got pregnant, it's not as fun as you remember!

i'll make this a sticky in Pregnancy

Thanks hun!
I'll put the revised list in first post

Ooh thank you, I needed the kick up the bum to get mine sorted! All I've put in thats not on there is toothpaste and a travel toothbrush but i guess that comes under toiletries, antibac handgel as I'm a bit of a worrier like that and wet wipes.

How many pj's/nighties did you take? i've got a nightie to give birth in but thats it - do you reckon i'd need more?

Kat I would take one for giving birth in and another one.

Thanks Jade, my hospital's advice is really confusing, one leaflet says one, the other says bring 4?? 4 for goodness sake! And is it normal that i can't fit all this stuff into just one bag?

haha my hospital says 4 of everything (but then they MAKE you stay in for 3 nights)
haha and yes I had a little suitcase and still couldn't fit all my stuff in!

I packed all of the above mostly. and in the end only need a change of clothes a wash bag a nappy and a set of clothes and blanket for H.

I took a suitcase and really did not need it all.

Only take what you really need. wash stuff change of clothes etc. I know you may not be in and out as quick as i was but if you do need extra stuff your OH or family can take back what you've used and bring in more stuff if you need it

^^i remember i packed loads last time my bag was stuffed full, then took loads out cause i realised i was being silly, still had some irrelevant things tho.

Kat - I had a nightie to give birth in and a pair of pjs bottoms &vest top then Matt just bought an outfit from home when it was time for me to go home.
