How much stuff have you packed for hospital?

[Cherished]

Far out girls I feel like I have so much stuff ready for the hospital! when I break it down it doesn't seam like too much but when it's all sitting there ready to go it just seams like heaps... I worry that the midwives will think we are moving in permanently I have 4 bags which are all about the size of a carry on luggage bag if I were going on an aeroplane. Because dh will be staying the whole time he has a bag of clothes and so do I, then there is a labour bag with all my goodies in it and there's another bag with other stuff in it like bubs stuff, maternity pads etc..... Oh and then we will also have green bag with some snacks in it. How much stuff has everyone else packed?

I felt exactly the same way Cherished!!! I had a small suitcase thingy, a labour bag, a green bag and as it turned out my handbag! I had everything but the kitchen sink (including nice soft toilet paper) . It ended up taking 3 trips to the car to come home and I literally live 4 doors from the hospital
Once you have laboured you can always chuck that bag in the car and continue to weed out what you dont want. Better to have waaaaay to much then get there and wish you had brought this or that......so excited for you hun! Wishing you a magical birth and many amazing momnets gazing at your little treasure

ohhhh definetly take ur own super soft toilet paper!! and big squishy towel, hospital ones are soooooo tiny and thin

I know! We had so much stuff last time , but it's probably better to be overprepared. Remember your hubby can always run out to get stuff after the birth if need be.

I only had one bag. With DD1 I was in hospital for 3 days after birth and there was more than enough stuff in that one bag.
