mum's hospital bag

[worriedbabe]

ok guys, i've packed my hospital bag for baby...but what do i need to take for me?

[heatherlynn22]

night gown (the hospital gowns suck)
your own pads (again the hospitals suck)
undies
going home clothes
shoes
toiletries (i have sensitive skin so i always take my own stuff if i stay overnight anywhere)
if you want make up, blow dryer, hair stuff (i just dried my hair and threw it in a pony tail)
cell phone/charger
lap top
snacks (the hospital i was in charged way too much for munchy stuff)
pillow
slippers (i don't like hospital socks and slippers are more comfy)
books/magazines (if you don't take a lap top or if you don't feel like using it)

that was everything i took.

i never needed change for the phone hospitals here have them in the rooms but i brought a brush my own shampoo and conditioner and my own jammies and robe for that o so fresh feeling i have 6 children and i found i over packed each time never used much i just was busy with my newborn i roomed in but for shure money in case you want to run to the hospital cafe for a little feeling of normal lunch with a friend or something also extra bags for all the gifts,flowers your friends and family bring. but just remember you will probably leave with double what you go with good luck
