I wouldn't bother with washing powder as there may not b somwhere to wash clothes, Just take a week worth n u'll feel fresh as a Daisy. Make sure the undies u pack r old daggy ones coz u'll want to get rid of them. If u plan on hiring the telly don't bother with reading material, Its just extra weight. Pack twice as many nursing pads as sanitary ones (u use them twice as fast as there are 2). engorged bbs leak a lot! at least 5 packs of each! take spare pj's as u will leak milk on them.

If you think of something u really want/need a visitor would more than likely b willing to get it for you so don't stress about packing the kitchen sink. If you run out of room in your bag just take less clothing n get DP to take dirties home n bring cleans in for you next day.

Ensure u have enuf 4 a week as if u have an emergency caeser u will stay in hossy for longer than 1st thought

PUT THE CAR SEAT IN WITH AT LEAST 4 WEEKS TO GO!!!! U don't want to worry about that when ur in labour!

Just put what I learned 1st time round.
