Hospital bag for induction
My baby has been booked to be born via an induction next month. She will have a heart condition so I need to travel nearly 2 hours to specialist hospital to be induced there. I have been told it can take a few days by their midwives. I will also be staying in the hospital after birth for a while due to operation needed
Can anyone help me with some packing essentials please? It's stressing me so much because it's not like I can just ring family to pop to local hospital with anything I may have forgotten or something I need. I'm also not really going to be wanting to go shopping thst much in the other city to get items I've forgotten I'd rather just have most of it with me ready! X
TIA
I have just had induction which led to emergency c-section, so this is based on my experience of this week so far (still in hospital now, since last Friday). - entertainment (speakers, book, iPad, films, puzzles) - snacks/food (apples, bananas, nuts, snack ramen pots/cupasoup - hospital food gets boring quick) - underwears (overpack on these and maternity pads, had to ask my mum to bring more twice) - nappies/wipes/cotton (baby hates cold wipes and cotton with cleansing water works well on the first poos better, also maybe buy extra nappy in other size) - bibs ( we went through more clothes than needed because we fed without bibs) - warm clothes for baby (they need vests and long sleeve/pants sleep suits and hats) - random toiletries/meds (piles cream for me was essential as developed this during pregnancy and still constipated) - baby feeding (infant formula and a couple bottles, even if you’ll BF)
