hospital bag question

[fothers]

Right, I am not worrying about what to pack yet but was wonering when you are supposed to pack it?

Also how many bags are you taking? Do you take one with labour things in and then a separate one incased you need to stay in and where do you put things for the baby? in the staying in bag, in the labour bag or in a third bag?

I know nothing

This is how I did it others may have better ideas!

I got a big hold all fromArgos (£10) and I packed a small bag of the baby stuff and put it in the hold all, then packed my stuff in it.

Remember when you are packing it though, that you'll want your labour stuff on the top, then baby clothes/nappy. I put my going home clothes right at the bottom.

if you google it lots of lists come up and then you can make your own!!

I'm going to get my hospital bag ready for christmas as we are driving up and down the country between the 23rd dec and 2nd jan so it would be just my luck to get caught up north in the snow with nothing!!

I have just about finished packing mine. I'm taking one wheeled suitcase (small size) with everything fitting in that. My hubby can always take more stuff in from home if I end up having to stay longer / need anything else.

Like Gemma, I have 1 trolly suitcase with everything in it and a seperate small shoulder bag with all mine and babies toiletries in it. I still have to pack things like magazines and munches for my hubby but that's his department. xxx
