Hospital bag

I don't think you've gone ott, I like to be organised and pack everything I think I might need and my list looks pretty similar to yours! I'm going to pack slightly more vests and babygrows in case baby is sicky, and some bibs and muslins x
These are all super helpful! Thank you all for sharing!!
I dont think its OTT, just check with the birthing ball as lots of hospitals/ birth centred have them so you might not need to take it. I would also add something to keep you & birth partner occupied so books, games, tv shows etc and a handheld fan as the hospital is very hot. Also I was advised to take an extra long charging cable as the plugs are always in inconvenient positions.
Definitely not too much… although I haven’t packed mine my list looks like this 😆
Ask your hospital if they provide birthing balls as my hospital did ☺️ but definitely not OTT, you have all the essentials that you and baby need. I never used the mittens as they’re way to big and just fall off. I found the ones on the sleep suits to be much better x
