Hi ladies, bit trivial but d day is fast approaching and I'm going through my hospital bags, just wondering if I've missed anything obvious? Particularly anything that needs to be washed/sterilised beforehand, or that hubby might struggle to find in shops in middle of night. Don't know if it'll be induction or section yet and hospital is 3 hours away so packing for all eventualities!
Labour bag
Nightie, dressing gown, thick socks, stretchy nursing bra (no idea what size I'll be)
Basic toiletries, towel, wet ones, lip balm
Phone charger
Maternity pads, breast pads, disposable knickers, big cotton knickers incase section
Gluten free snacks, 2 packs glucose tablets, cartons apple juice
To add last minute - hospital notes, phone, insulin pens (& spare vials in frio pouch), blood glucose meter & diary
Post labour bag (will keep in car and get hubby to bring in when move to ward / sort what I need from labour bag and take the rest away)
4 nighties, 1 pair pyjamas
4 tops, 2 leggings, 2 loose trousers
Spare nursing bra, cotton knickers, socks, slippers
Towel, maternity pads, breast pads
Extra toiletries
2 packs glucose
Food bag - GF crackers, cereal, long life rolls, more snacks
Carrier bag for washing
Baby's bag (again, in car till bump arrives)
6 all in ones/baby gros & 6 vests (3 newborn, 3 0-3) all been washed in non-bio
Mits, hat, blanket for going home
Pack newborn nappies, wet ones, muslin squares, sudocrem - shops nearby so can buy extra/ bigger nappies if required
Bottle bag (hoping to BF so hopefully won't need and can stay in car)
Breast pump & 5 bottles (all sterilised)
Tub of stage 1 formula
Thanks in advance!
