Hello and congratulations on being a "Mummy to be". What an exciting time for you!! I packed two bags- one with things I would need during labour and the other for my stay in hospital. In my labour bag I had: a couple of facewashers, handtowel, maternity pads, slippers, t-shirt, bathers or shorts for my hubby to help me in the shower ( no midwife wants to come in and find your partner starkers in the shower rubbing your back!!!), an old nightie (things can get a bit mucky) and a new one to put on after bubs is born, my birth plan written out, wheat pack, socks( sounds like a weird thing but your feet get really cold because your blood is rushing to other parts of your body), singlet crop top, undies( ones with really stong elastic are best because when you have a maternity pad in it helps to hold them up better), cd's and a portable cd player, all the usual toiletries, lollies and snacks (you don't know how long you might be there and even if you don't want to eat your birth partner may get hungry), hairbands to keep your hair out of your face (during labour I just felt so hot so it was good to get my hair away from my face, magazines, books, card games etc., an outfit and singlet, hat, nappies and a couple of blankets for when your new buuba first gets dressed.I had most things packed ready to go but there were a few thing I had written on a list for my hubby to collect around the house like my hairbrush etc and pack as we were going to hospital.I was doubled over on the floor having contractions 2 minutes apart and he was racing around asking me where stuff was- I told him I didn't care about them and I didn't want them anymore I was in too much pain and just wanted to get to the hospital!!! I had it all planned that I'd have music playing and read a magazine get hubby to massage my feet etc but my labour was fairly short and intense and after all the trouble I went to I didn't use anything out of my bag!!!!! In my other bag I had more maternity pads( you'll need lots of these) lots of clean nighties and pj's suitable for opening to breastfeed if thats your plan. If you end up needing a catheter for any reason it can make wearing pj's a bit difficult so nighties are handy, slippers, plastic bags to send home the dirty washing, nursing pads, lots of nappies and wipes, baby toiletries( bath wash, powder etc), scented nappy sacks, dressing gown, loose comfortable clothing like a tracksuit, truck loads of undies, bedsocks, baby clothing, singlets, blankets,hats, scratch mittens, burp cloths, booties/socks, outfit for going home and warm jacket depending on your climate and the kitchen sink!! I am a chronic overpacker so you could probably halve this list and still have too much but I hope it has given you a few ideas and helps a bit. Best wishes to you on your upcoming birth.
