    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
