What have you all put in your hospital bags?

I put different size baby outfits in ziplock bags, sizes written on the bags. Helped my partner with our first as he had no clue what he was looking at 😂 nappies, swaddle, wipes, thick socks, hats mittens, muslin, blanket for walk to the car. 2 pairs of pjs for me, fluffy socks, pants, disposable pants, maternity pads, snacks and something to wear to go home, travel size shower gel, tooth paste and shampoo plus a new toothbrush. I used barely anything the first time round. If we end up staying longer than planned then I'll just tell my partner what to grab from home
Can I please ask everyone what size is your bag? I’ve really kept everything to a minimum but so far it’s in a cabin size suitcase plus a small rucksack which is small enough to use as hand luggage but feel like it looks too much!
@Shani I’m in hospital now and I saw a woman with a large case, a tote bag and her husband had a suitcase too. Don’t worry about it. I have a cabin case and a shopping bag for things like nappies, iPad, coat, red book and coat
@Shani I have a hold-all sized bag with mine and baby’s stuff. Then my partner has a backpack, then we have a small tote for snacks
