[lozzi]

how many bags did u ladies take / plan on taking to hospital?


Ive got my bag for madam,

the overnight stuff is toiletries/clothes for after i pop etc

and the small holdall contains labour stuff, like nighties, baby wipes, socks, dressing gown,hozzy notes etc

Blimely hun! 2 bags for you! what you taking? you'll probably only be in there the one night lol


Im taking 2 medium sized holdalls one for baby and one for me.
Also packed my pain in the butt son a overnight backpack to take to my parents.

 

[Ebony_Mommy]

pack two separate bags.. (one for u .. one for baby) but put both in one small suitcase.

also pack a emergency bag and leave at home, just in case u have a c-section (or any other reason) and have to stay in longer.. someone can fetch it easy

well thats what im doing.. soon !!! ha!!

You seem to have everything pretty much sorted. Are you taking 2 packs of maternity pads? I went through alot while in hospital

 

[madmish]

i have packed a bag for jamie
and a bag for myself consisting of

labour nightie & dressing gown
old t shirt
socks towel
facial wipes
slippers(for after also)
disposable briefs.

that's it for labour i am not intending on going through it long enough to need anymore stuff!!

then in the bag there is a clean towel to seperate the stuff for after the birth,which consists of...

clean nigtie,dresssing gown & pj's
toiletries
disposable briefs
breast pads
sanitary pads.
going home clothes (tracksuit)

also there is a lunchbag in the fridge containing chocolate,drinks and snacks to take for during labour.

i like the idea mentioned before of an extra bag at home just incase i need to stay longer,also a good idea to do an extra baby one too.*heads off to start packing* LOL!

 

I've got a bag for me with all of my stuff and i've got a separate bag for the baby. I found that I couldn't fit everything in 1 bag for both of us so that's why i've got 2 bags. They are both by the door ready in case I do have to go into hospital but secretly still hoping for my home birth

 

[Jaidy]

I got two bags, one for me and one for baby, although some of the baby stuff does overflow into mine lol

Also gonna do a rucksack nearer the time for OH, with food and change of clothes in etc

ive seen ur collection

no it was all my stuff dont forget i was in a while

p.s you can never have to many pairs of knickers!!!

 

you moving in lozzi?! I had 1 bag for everything, including mine, babies and labour stuff. As I was in for near a week though, we left with about 4 bags (1 massive suitacase, a holdall and 2 carrier bags) full of stuff, and bags had already been taken home with washing and to get clean stuff for me and Damo. I wasn't very prepared though Had to get OH to bring loads of stuff to me in L&D hospital as I didn't expect to be so far from home for long!

 

[mummykay]

i had one bag for me and one for jamie but then when i had my c section, half of primarks pyjama department came in with my OH lol!!

 

[Daggers]

I'd try and just pack 2 bags if I were you, as I found that the more bags you have the more faffing around trying to find stuff! Especially if your in mid contraction you don't want to be digging around trying to find out were you've put your disposable pants/ santiary towels etc! Also make sure the bags ain't to small or else everything just ends up on the floor!!!
Good luck ladies times a ticking......
