There is a pamphlet around, whether they are still using it or not I am not sure.
Pads (surfboards)
Pjs
Clothes
Clothes for bubs
blankets for bubs (hospital has some but lots get stolen)
camera
nappies (i recommend disposable as you dont want cute MCN stained with Mec or go missing) they do have cloth flats and snibs.
VMR
wipes
toiletries
Old tshirt or nightie for labour (or you can wear yucky hospital one)
lollies (labour for energy)
plastic massager
music for labour
socks (cold feet common in labour)
I think the biggest thing to check/confirm is nappies - I just heard of a friend of a friend who birthed at a hospital where they do not supply nappies and she hadn't brought any so they had to sticky tape two maternity pads to the bub while someone ran out to buy nappies.
Bit sad.
Whereas my hosp supplies nappies so it wouldn't be a problem. But they do not supply waterproof covers so I've got to take some of them.
