Don't forget your mobile - or money for the pay phones.

Have you a separate bag for the baby. You'll need to add the following to your labour bag for when bubs first arrives.

Nappy
Vest
Babygro
hat
scratch mits
if your not breastfeeding you also need to bring in your own formula and bottle.

We were told to have a labour bag with just the essentials for both mum and baby and then put everything else in another bag that will go up to the room after bubs has arrived.


The rest of bubs stuff can go into your other bag,

If you're getting scratch mitts, Mini Mode from Boots were easily the best. They're small and so fit the baby. All the others we'd bought were miles too big on him and kept falling off which was a bit of a pain!
Mothercare maternity pads were also really good.

If you have a primark near you I would recommend going there for all your hospital bag stuff. I got 2 nighties, a dressing gown, slippers and 10 pairs of pants for less than £20! I don't care if I never wear any of it again at that price.

the pants were 5 pairs for £2... cheaper than disposable pants! I just bought a size bigger in everything.
