hello and congrats on your upcoming bub! Very exciting time for you!

Big stretchy nighties are a must, anything thats comfy and doesn't rub on your tummy in case you have to go for a c-section. A few of the women I've come across have used disposable undies so they didn't have to give their hubbies bloody undies to take home, i thought that was pretty neat u can get them from the chemist. Definitely lollies during labour, u cant bear to have anything more n gives u extra energy. ur hubby mite wana bring sum board shorts, most women sit in the shower leaning over their hubby and he gets saturated lol. Definitely bring your own pillow, most hospitals dont have enuf and are never comfy so u want plenty especially if you are breastfeeding. For bubby take heaps of singlets and jumpsuits but just one going home outfit, all they wear in hospital is their little jumpsuits and lotsa bunny rugs. I think thats all i can come up with at the moment, all the best and happy labouring!
