    Mine are the same as most of the others, so I won't repeat.

    I didn't really use anything during labour apart from my Hypnobirthing tracks / iPod with headphones. I used them to tune out the room and when I was listening I found it very helpful.

    I also was glad I had my laptop as I used it to Skype with my brother in London. That was nice.

    Mobile phone charger - I forgot mine! Lucky husband went home at nights so was able to bring it in.

    I used music and an electric oil burner (no live flame allowed at the hosp) and shower shower shower.

    I also think pack some food for you even if you don't feel like food wit hds1 I wanted to eat but "wasn't allowed" due to high risk of c/s and ds2 I was scoffing an egg sandwhich at 8cm dilated, in the shower, between contractions lol

    Oh and something amazing is frozen poppers, love them cut them open and eat with a spoon, so awesome for something wet in your mouth and a little bit of sugar!!!

    Pen and baby7 record book to record visitors gifts etc before I forgot
