Hospital bag

For me essential was nighties, lilets maternity pads and Tesco disposable maternity knickers, a peri bottle which helped with going to the toilet after episiotomy🙈 and. A hair brush! For baby - muslins, nappies, wipes, vests and sleepsuits

For you: comfy clothes like jogging bottoms/maternity tops/button top pajamas/large underwear, breast pads/pumps if you plan on breast feeding, maternity pads, toiletries, flip flops for shower and towel, comfy pillow, long phone charger, water bottle, snacks. For baby: short sleeve bodysuit x5, long sleeve body suit x5 preferably with sleeves that turn into mittens and closed feet, swaddle blanket, hat, nappies, bottle/formula/dummies if you plan to use them

With my first I wish I overpacked as I was in for 3 days and quickly ran out of things that I needed So I'd say pack 5/6 onsies and bodysuits, about 4 Muslins, and just pack whatever you'd feel comfortable with for baby really extra Bibs 2 packs of cotton pads Yourself pack like 3 pairs of pjs (u could easily leak through a pair) a couple pair of regular clothes socks extra pack of maternity pads x

Thank you all! Super Helpful :)

In addition to everything above, please pack your own painkillers as well (paracetamols, ibuprofen, codeine you name it). I had to wait for 30-60 mins last time to get some paracetamols so this time im bringing all the meds i can get from the pharmacy and will just check which ones i can have instead of having to request them

Hello lovely! The NHS has guidelines and that pretty much is all the essentials! I would just note a few things to get which are not on the list 1) water bottle with a straw as it’s hard to unscrew a cap in between contractions 2) 3m phone cable as the plugs are far from the bed 3) postpartum belly wrap if not C-section delivery to support your abdominal You can also buy or create your own hospital bag at mybabynest.co.uk you’ve got this! 💪🏻
