husband has to pack hospital bag.....

[ladybird11]

Kim, I would have to say GiGi had a brilliant list...

You're lucky you had the heads up and can write a list of what you need to be packed in your bag...

DD decided to surprise me two months early and DP had to pack my bag...and he was under pressure and rushing as they were transporting me from one hospital to another, he need to go home and pack for me - and he did do his 'male' best lol - but seriously, 'what does a brand new mum need with g-strings' I ask you??? Ha ha ha!

I was quite ill with pre-eclampsia so it wasn't for three days until I was able to wear my own clothes anyway - but I would have appreciated after feeling so bad, just to wear a matching outfit for my hourly visits to see DD...

I hope all is well for you and bubba!

I was a NICU nurse in a former life.

Good on you then. After dd's birth and with everything I learned from that ... having a tour/asking as much as you can about the NICU is my best tip for mummies with early babies. THAT was the thing that broke me down in streams of tears at the end of the day.

Goodluck!!
