Hospital bag

Depending on your birth plan. I had a assisted natural birth so stayed in a couple of days. https://www.nhs.uk/start-for-life/pregnancy/preparing-for-labour-and-birth/hospital-bag-checklist/

Their website is really helpful. Can't remember my list, it's been year since 😅

Thank you so much ❤️

I needed more as I didn't realise I'd have to stay for 6 nights in NICU as boy was premature. Big pants, change of clothes, toiletries, snacks, magazines, good few changes of baby clothes, nappies, wipes, pads (proper thick buggers) phone charger, tablet/iPad.

@Elise i stayed 5 days, epidural, baby having jaundice and then a bit constipated. I packed lots of stuff just in case and took my hand luggage. Actually finished the day before my waters broke and had to go in. People thought i was moving in with my luggage 🤣 I did have my husband bring/take stuff as well.

I’d definitely recommend having a back up pile of spare clothes and toiletries if you do end up staying in longer than you thought… otherwise your partner will absolutely bring in the wrong bits!!

Even though not for you, smaller baby clothes? My little one was 6lb and I didn't have any tiny baby clothes for her

☝️My baby was small as well

I didn't bother buying premature clothes as firstly I didn't know he was coming early. His newborn clothes were baggy for a while lol
