    Pink I'm pretty sure there's a big big thread about that if you do a search. I remember I went through it and wrote down all the stuff for mine.....maybe one of the mods can help.

    There is a thing in the articles section on what to pack. Up the top is the articles section and then you go to the pregnancy thing i think. Goodluck with the birth.

    Hi pink,

    I asked a similar question a while back Christy was able to help me out with a rough idea. Here is the link to my post:

    Plans, Packing and Shopping

    If you do a google search even theres alot of sites that will help you out. I narrowed my bags down to: Cosmetic bag (shampoo, soap, toiletries etc), bag for me and bub, and a labour bag.

    honestly all i needed was clothes(lots of pants coz none fitted!), toiletries and maternity pads.
    whatever i wanted to dress baby in to bring her home - my hospital supplied nappies/clothes.

    i had the massive everyhing on the list bag/s - not needed imo

    OK... I took WAY too much!

    I reckon all you need is

    7x comfy granny undies
    3x mat bras
    3x packs of mat pads (I loved the kotex ones)
    2x pairs of comfy trackies/pants (not jean as you can't 'breath' much down there!)
    3x tops
    1x thongs (that are a little too big incase your feet swell)
    Lip Balm (lips get dry as with the heating etc)
    Toiletries - ie shampoo/cond, soap, toothbrush and paste etc

    For bubs I just had 2 nappies and going home outfit as well as a pack of wipes, the hospital supplied nappies, gowns and wraps for them!

    DH can always grab you other stuff if you need it!
