Hi!!

I may be repeating what some people have said before but I'll add anyway! These are the most important I think. I won't add everything, there are some really good lists above and as I said, I will only be repeating!

* Good fitting black undies are best. You need them to be firm so they hold everything in place and black so if you do leak, you won't have stains! And lots of 'em!
* Your own pillow! Godsend for a half-decent nights sleep (I never slept that well in hosp. I was always too excited or overtired to sleep.)
* A book. You will probably get a little bored in between visiting hours and bub sleeps so much the first few days, you need something to get by. You can't rely on TV!
* Panadol. I always take my own. Midwives get busy and sometimes it can be over an hour before they get back to you with some panadol for after birth pains.
* Don't forget your purse/handbag! When you are filling out forms you will need certain information (from what I can remember) that you carry in your purse/handbag! And a pen!

Hope these help!!

Good luck, I'm not that far away myself! The above lists have been handy for me as well as I seem to have forgotton some them!!
