How much stuff have you packed for hospital?

[deletedit]

Good lord you people pack a lot LOL

As to labour stuff, I was in the labour ward half an hour with Theo so there wasn't enough time to do ANYTHING. Afterwards the midwife brought bikkies, milo, water, more blankets and I got to sit around snuggling the baby for an hour while they got bored waiting for the placenta

Which admittedly means I was in the labour ward about 2 hours all up but not in labour per se ... hmmmm

he's right Cherished, you take whatever you want.

I packed a bag with my clothes, a million potential labour snacks (lollies,nuts, dried fruit... heaps of stuff in case I wanted something specific), camera, toiletries and somethings for labour (music CDs, little squishy balls, photos).

Also packed the nappy bag with outfits, nappies and wraps for baby.

Then on the night I made my H pack 5 pillows which I had been using in labour and he carried them in for me to continue using... it was nice afterwards to sleep with our own pillows too!

Thanks marcellus

Meow yes the pillows are on the list too, they are a given, we have even carted our pillows overseas in the past! last thing I want is a sore neck from a dodgy hospital pillow to add to the sleep deprivation.

Rumple if only we all had 2 hr labours maybe we would all only need a change of clothes

Anyway I'm feeling better about it all today, and for those who suggested the really soft loo paper I've finally added that to one of the bags. The hospital loo paper is pretty soft but dh said I may as well take a roll of our really soft stuff too
