Another thing my SIL suggested was your own soft toilet paper to avoid the hospital rough stuff. Could be a good idea for sore pereniums.

thanks for that kaylene, guess that makes more sense now that i think abt it. will most likely have the HUGE bag in the car while we are in the delivery suite n then get everything in the room once bub is born!!

so exciting and i think i'm getting paranoid too!! every ache or slight pain i feel, i think, 'now?? now??' LOL so funny!!! but what a thought indeed..... :P

So far in my labour bag I'm going to have:

snacks (nuts, muesli bars), energy drinks, heat pack, stress balls (suggested in a Birthskills book I'm reading at the moment), ipod, visualisation picture, bathers, aromatherapy oil and electric burner...also DH's bathers...

Haven't packed it as yet...as still waiting on my Ob's decision about VD or c/s....but hopefully I'll need it!!!

I had NOTHING!!! Went early, was not ready (never thought it would be a prem), my mother brought some stuff (clothes, underwear) and at the end of the day had a emergency c-section way early. Even had to use the hospital maternity pads It was crazy!!
Just want to congrats you girls for being prepared and thinking ahead!!
