Time to pack my hospital bag

[Little Rose]

So i've 5 weeks left - time to pack my bag!
If I don't do it today, I won't get the chance again until next Saturday.

Problem is, I have no idea how much of everything I need to bring for the baby. Has anyone got a list?!

Rose.

 

[hello]

There's a brill sticky thread in labour and birth about it, have fun sounds exciting!!!

 

[Little Rose]

Great, thank you. My backs broke standing ironing all the things that have to go in the bag!

This website below has a list, not sure how good it is though. I haven't even thought about my hospital bag.

Morning Pinky,

Well, all my things are ironed and that's about as far as I got lol. I'm just going through the lists on here to make sure I have everything and then the bag is getting packed for sure today.

I think I have eveyrthing with the exception of glucose tablets (hoping I won't need them though and this baby will slip out in super fast time lol).

I must be putting the bag packing off subconsciously as I know when it's packed it means it's almost time to go. I'm starting to think about the birth more now and trying hard to put my hypnobirthing lessons into play! I'm starting to worry that i'll lose it when in labour and forget all the little techniques. I have one more fear release session to go for at 37 weeks so hopefully that will sort me right out. I've never been in hospital before, never even had a nosebleed or a sprain. I'm a tad afraid!

I think I'm doing the same, keep putting it off although I still have a few weeks. Its good you're using hypnobirthing, have you found it helpful so far?

I can't believe you've never been in hospital before Its not that bad honest, although I have no idea what labour is like, this is my first too But we'll all cope because we have to really

I know I'm not technically in tri 3 yet, and so have awhile., but the only thing I've thought about putting in mine is a bottle of champagne (god, what I'd give for a large, cold glass now!) and a couple of nappies.

 

[pinkymum]

Ah but if her hair looks nice it'll all be fine I should buy a new brush too. Are you girls going to buy those travel toiletries instead of taking big bottles with you?

Lol a bottle of champagne? Are we allowed one of those in hospital???? I was thinking of having one cooling in the fridge for when we get home. Yum! Although I'm still craving a G + T haha

[/QUOTE]

I really rate Hypnobrithing so far. It has taken me from terrified to anxious. I'm just worried I have not practiced my relaxation enough but plan to practice flat out as soon as I finish up at work. I've always been in to complimentary therapies and yoga and the likes so it seemed the right thing for me to do when I found out I was pregnant. I hope to God it works...positive mental attitude....

 

[smess26]
