    Socks! Nothing worse than cold feet! I'm taking a lot more knickers too just in case the blood flow is really full on afterwards.

    Oh yeah, snacks. I'll have a big fruit bowl too so I can snack on something healthy whenever I need to.

    Best of luck for tomorrow!!

    taurean - exactly what i was thinking - i was definitely glad to have some snuggly socks!

    i only wore one pair of trakkies, but i was only in for two nights.

    and next time i will definitely be taking snacks! i was starving & the hospital food wasn't great!

    all the best for tomorrow

    Some plastic bags for your dirty laundry. I couldn't imagine anything worse than being stuck with soiled underwear in my bag. I would give my DH a bag of washing to take home with him every night when I was in the hospital.

    All the very best for tomorrow. I look forward to reading your BA

    Mobile phone charger,
    a notebook or baby book to write down things like 1st visitor, gifts etc,
    your own pillow if you're some one who will be more comfy with this?

    Looks like betweeen your original list and the suggestions everything is pretty much covered ..... will have to write all these suggestions down so I remember what to pack in 6 weeks time.

    Only other thing I can suggest and don't know name for it or if it exists. Something to cool down boobies for when milk comes in - kinda like hot/cold packs????

    Don't know if it happens to everyone but girlfriend of mine had baby three months ago and when her milk came through as well as going rock hard her boobs became really hot. Midwives mentioned using these packs to help ease the discomfort ???

    Just a suggestion and as I said don't know if you can buy something like this.

    Best of luck
