Ok, I have one outstanding matter and that is the just-in-case-hospital bag. What do i put in it? I've got a change of clothes for me and bub adn maternity pads...

[Tegam]

thanks Marcellus!

Toilet bag, i love to have a shower after bubs.

I packed an "after birth/transfer bag"... but forgot to pack any toiletries in it so good thing we didn't transfer

I had:
- change of clothes for me
- pyjamas for me
- black undies
- pads
- breastfeeding naturally book
- blissful herbs (peri-natal kit & breastfeeding tea)
- a few changes of clothes for baby
- baby hats on top for straight after birth
- cloth nappies

[Tegam]

cloth nappies and the hats - totally forgot but yes i take 4 hats, two pink and two blue for straight after the birth. They get wet quickly so you need a change and it stops the MW wrapping the baby with its head in which it makes it next to imporrible to breast feed correctly!
