it's that time again ...

[peanutter]

packing the hosptial bag!

less than 6 weeks to go, so I suppose I should get back into this ...

a very different packing list this time I suspect, as there won't be a labour ... so I won't need my fan, snacks, CDs, or any of that ... not that I used any of it really the first time around ...

I'm guessing I'll still need the same amount of comfy undies, surfboard sized pads, clothes and wraps for our bundle of joy, a book or two, something to write in, camera ...

what were your must haves, in your hosptial bags?

Phone charger! I forgot the first time and was very sad.

I'm also a big chocolate fan. Lots of chocolate.

Subbing cause I only have 2 weeks to go and need to know if I'm missing anything important!

Straws are good for if youre stuck laying or feeding in odd positions.

Lovely new Pj's or nighty. Swish new dressing gown & slippers. Things that make you feel good.

L&B has some fantabulous ideas there!!!

I can't believe it is less than six weeks

Can I suggest the ABA number? Take that with you! Or my number, that's just as good

Umm... I thought of something but forgot it!

ETA: Benefibre. Much better than Metamucil in terms of palatability (is that a word?).

A pashmina shawl for covering up - (fluctuated hot and cold) and it's a little feeling of home, my own pillow, ear plugs and eye thingy(can't for the life of me remember what they are called - nearly wrote eye pads ) nice hand cream, and some snacks. xoxox

Socks - I found my feet got cold at night and when the fluid retention hit post c/s I couldn't wear slippers for a few days.
Laptop and if you have your own wireless connection so you can surf the net during those loooooonnnnngggg evenings
Pressie or something to occupy the older sibling when they come and visit
Lip Balm
Hair ties
Breast Pump - if you have your own
Favourite Pillow - I hated sleeping using the hospital pillow
Comfy stretchy leggings or pants and tops

Laptop and socks- great idea.

Lots of moisturiser as those hospitals are very drying on your skin. I got a nice smelling one and just slathered it on after showering. I think the pp got most of it down for you
