I've not really done my bag yet but I'm going to put a couple of nighties in and a pair of pjs, disposable pants and pads. I'll probably put a pair of trackies in and a couple of tshirts, flip flops, a towel, nursing bra and wash bag.
I'll wait till I'm going to put my ipod and things in as I use these every day and we live 5 minutes away so if I forgot anything my hubby will be able to get it quite quickly.
Theres probably loads I've forgotten! x x x

 

[eldraW]

I know although i feel like i have loads already i still feel lilke i aint got enough if that makes sense lol xxx

 

[jomc]

I keep thinking Ive forgotten something lol

I just packed mine and baby's bags tonight and my gosh, they are bulging!
I think if I don't go into labour anytime soon and I'm waiting at least another 4 weeks, then I'm probably going to empty and re-pack the bags in a few weeks time.

In baby's bag I have:
Toiletries (Baby wash, Baby oil, Baby shampoo, Baby lotion, Baby talc, Sudocrem, Nail clippers)
1 pack of nappies
1 pack of wipes
A little packet of scratch mittens
5 pairs of socks :S
3/4 bibs
1 Blanket
Going home outfit (baby vest and baby grow, plus matching hat)
2 additional hats
4/5 baby grows
4/5 baby vests
Feeding shawl (wrap it round you when feeding)
A packet of dummies
A pair of newborn booties
1 hooded bath towel
1 baby bath sponge

She'll be wearing a snowsuit when she comes home too, but I've put that in the car-seat, as well as a pram blanket.
So whoever comes back to the house to pick up the car-seat, will pick up her snowsuit and pram blanket too Saves me space in the baby bag! Pointless having them in the hospital anyway, I doubt she'll be wearing her snow-suit in the hospital

I personally feel like I've put too many baby grows in. About 4 of them are second hand one's off my cousin, I had this idea that if Grace is sick loads or messes her pants whilst we're staying in the hospital, I can just have her wear these second hand one's instead of her nice new one's. I've got a brand new one for her going home outfit and I also put about 1 or 2 other brand new one's that I've bought. Her bag is absolutely full now though! I even had to put her blanket into my bag because there was no room in hers xxx

If it helps, in my bag I have:

Toiletries (1 Bath sponge, Vaseline, Moisturiser, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Deodorant, Bottle of shampoo/body wash)
Hairbrush
Handheld mirror
Lipbalm
1 Dressing gown
1 Pair of slippers
1 Nightie
Pajama shorts + t.shirt
Pajama bottoms + t.shirt
Bath towels
Face flannel
4/5 Pairs of knickers
4 Pairs of socks
2 Maternity bras
Nipple pads
Maternity towels
Hair bands and hair clips
Carrier bag for dirty washing

I haven't put my going home outfit in yet, I was going to pick something later today

I want to take my ipod and camera with me but I'll do that last minute probably xxx
