I didnt' pack much and didn't use much. I only ended up staying 2 nights. I had two showers and only washed my hair once. I used two tshirts, tracksuit pants, about 2 pairs of undies and I used the hospital pads, nappies, wipes. I only needed one outfit and one wrap to take baby home in. (I took two lots, one winter one summer).
I didn't eat a thing in labour. I took barley sugars and didn't open them (I still have them at home, eat one now and then)!! The hospital supplied the birth ball, drinks etc. I took one bottle of water. They gave me juices and water during labour. I just wore what I had on in labour. A skirt and tshirt. Ended up taking skirt off and having gown over me. Had to throw tshirt out, so dont' wear a good one!!
I couldn't have gone without my phone and camera, but apart from that, teh hospital supplied most. I was a public patient at a public hosp.
I did get DH to bring in a jumper and tshirt, sometimes the air con made it cold in the room.
I had a short labour, but DH didnt' eat anything nor drink anything. The hospital gave him juice anyway. I foudn teh hospital gave us everything even though the letter I got said to bring it all.
