    In a cottage in a wood
    760

    Keep in mind I've only done this once, but this is what I ended up using... (not packing, I way overpacked!)
    * Comfy comfy pj pants and slippers (the hospital didn't allow bare feet)
    * Dressing gown (my mum actually went and bought one for me)
    * Ten thousand pads...well not quite, 2 packs, I was in for a week and hubby may have gone to get more
    * Disposable wet wipes for toileting
    * Undies, undies and more undies....the Rio 6 pack in high cut were awesome as they were really loose and non constricting and I didn't care if they had to get thrown out.
    * Feeding tops
    * Favourite shampoo and conditioner (not essential, but lovely after a big day - or two)
    * Toothbrush, paste and mouthwash... oh, mouthwash how I love you
    * Big towel
    * Going home outfit for bubs
    * Camera
    * Bra big enough to fit basketballs in (In my case, I went up to a 'G' when my milk came in!)
    * Nursing pads

    I also took, but didn't need
    * Changes of clothes for bubba
    * Magazines, drinks and food for labour... (WHA?????)
    * Anything that at the time I thought would make me look more human...
