Hospital bag essentials

[soulful]

Hi ladies

Just preparing myself in advance....

Can anyone recommend:

• What essentials I should pack in my hospital bag
• What would be 'nice to have' in my hospital bag

Many thanks in advance!

hey hun, if you do a search you'll find heaps of threads, but here is a thread I started.
Hope it helps some

There are lots of threads but one thing I was so glad I took last time was my own toilet paper! Much softer and nicer than hospital stuff!

Ooooh! I am so doing that!! Especially with everything that will going on down there, I think soft toilet paper would definitely be a bonus!

There's a list on a website that I stumbled across that seems to cover most stuff. That I can think of, anyway...

one "nice to have" item (if you have it) is a portable DVD player to entertain you at night, or a cd player/ipod for music. those middle of the night feeds can be full on to stay awake for (i was on pain meds from c/s so struggled more than with normal tiredness) - and FTA TV (if available) is just crap!! DH bought in the DVD player and we got through a season of CSI in the few days i was in hospital! DD would feed for up to an hour at a time so it was an ep a feed! lol
