Hospital Bag.....

[DebbieM]

also why are you taking milk and bottles? they provide them in mini pre packed bottles if there needed. as you wont have any where to sterlise them if you did use them the once?

We were told to. I think the whole "pressure to breastfeed" thing is bad here and someone mentioned at one time that the machines with the bottles and milk in will soon be removed from the hospital. How on earth they can do that is beyond me but that's what we got told so we're going armed just incase!

Debbie, I am getting so excited for you now. I shall be keeping a very close eye on this forum and you over the next couple of weeks It really won't be long now.

How are you feeling regarding the birth?

 

[DebbieM]

Scared out of my pants! LOL

Don't get too excited! I could still (and probably will be) here in 3 weeks time

I always say the same thing re: hospital bag.

Get OH to pack it! trust me, you will not be in the mood for finding things he can't. I showed my OH where everything was in the bag for Mason's birth and he STILL didn't know where the nappy was for straight after birth, I was NOT in the mood for 20 questions about which pocket it was in!

Get Matt to pack it, as he'll be the one passing you stuff anyway

 

[DebbieM]

Its packed He knows where it all is

Not sure if you're planning to breast feed but if you are take some nipple cream. Lansinoh comes highly recommended!

I'm also packing flip flops so I can shower in them to avoid treading on the skanky floor!

Assuming I have a normal delivery and stay in hospital, how many sleep suits/vest/nappies etc do you think I would need?
