Fiona I have a profilio with a notepad and all the paperwork and pics in it so I take it to every PG appointment with me that way I should have what they need
I keep my stuff in my diary. It's a A5 size that I can fit in my handbag where it lives and I won't forget it when I go out.
I was anal... anything that was info only went into one folder (I even had that seperated into trimesters, nursery equipment, hospital info).
All bills went in with our other bills to be paid but receipts went into a maternity receipt file.
Pathology slips, appointment cards, ultrasound slips went into my diary so I had them when I needed them.
Results went into a results folder.
Contact info was in triplicate - one in my wallet, one by the phone and one in my diary... then there was the one in the car and also the one on my desk at work (just in case I lost all memory in the excitement of things happening and couldn't remember numbers of people such as DH, Ob, Student Mid, the hospital)
Samples went in a little box for if/when I needed them.
HTH!

I just put my stuff on our notice board.
We didn't really have that much stuff, so it wasn't all cluttered up.
As for the little printed out pictures from the ultrasounds we got. I stuck them on the wall with bluetack like a timeline and I looked at them everyday.![]()
I put all mine in an envelope (twice the size of a standard envelope) and kept them in my handbag. The things I kept in there were the hospital record, bills I'd paid until I took them to Medicare, appointment schedule, referrals for scans etc. In the early days I also kept scan pics but once everyone knew they ended up on the fridge.
I kept my wee container (my OB's office made you recycle them) in my handbag in a plastic bag then in a makeup bag (after it was washed out of course).
My handbag was pretty full but everything was at hand if I ever wanted to look at anything (which I did frequently).
