I can't believe the time has come to share with you what I have in my hospital bag! This has been the fastest pregnancy ever and usually at this point everything seems to slow down a little as your impending due date nears, it almost seems to get further from reach. Not this time! I'm now 37 weeks which means I'm full term, although I'd be quite happy if he cooked away a little longer so I can make sure I'm super prepared, my bags are packed and waiting so without further ado I will show you a breakdown of what you need to take into hospital for labour and baby.
I will be packing my items for baby & labour in my KeriKit 'Joy' changing backpack in black. You can use the code MAMAKERIKIT10 for 10% off on www.kerikit.com across their full range of real leather changing bags.
Baby
in fairness, there isn't a whole lot you need to take in for you little cherub. As I mentioned in my video, you really don't have to take in your own nappies and wipes but I just prefer to use my own things. I've packed :
3x vests
2x sleep suits (magnet mouse sleep suit can be purchased HERE!)
Coming home outfit
Hat (MiLoves hat can be purchased HERE!)
Nappies
Water wipes
Comforter
Blanket
Labour
For labour I liked to wear a soft large t-shirt style nightie. I picked mine up from Primark along with high rise, seam free, incredibly glamorous pants and some socks because your tootsies get pretty chilly in labour! I'd say having your hair tied back is a must so make sure you can take something like a hair clip that is foolproof for your partner to make an attempt at putting it up for you in case you're otherwise preoccupied - chances are you will be! A water bottle with a straw is sooooo useful. You can take little sips at a time while you partner holds the bottle for you.
Nightie
Pants (think Bridget Jones style)
socks
Soft bra/nursing bra if you're planning to breastfeed
Hair bobbles
Hair clip
Lip balm
Maternity pad
Breast pads
Cooling spray (optional)
Chewing gum/mints
Nipple cream
Lip balm
Bottle for water
Recovery & Going Home
After you've given birth you'll just want to live in Pj's or something similarly as comfortable. I've packed 2 sets of pyjamas which is plenty. Remember your partner has to go home each evening so if you're unexpectedly asked to stay in hospital they can collect you some more and bring them in on their next visit. I'll list all of the toiletries and other items you need below. In terms of a coming home outfit make sure it's something comfortable. I'm taking a loose fitting dress and stretchy tights with boots and my coat.
Mummy
2x Pj's
2x pants
2x bras
2x socks
light dressing gown
slippers
maternity pads
breast pads
snacks
phone
charger
camera & charger
make up bag
Toiletries
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Mouthwash
Face wipes
Moisturiser
Bump cream - (you can purchase Bloom & Blossom award winning anti-stretchmark cream HERE!)
Shaving foam
Razor
Dry Shampoo
Shampoo
Conditioner
Body wash
Shower puff
Moisturiser
Hairbrush

Great post! I would add one more thing though and I never thought I would be saying it but they are bloody amazing for the first 2 days after birth! Disposable knickers! Yes they are the ugliest things but my god are they worth it! 😊

ReplyDeleteEeek, I remember packing and re-packing my hospital bag so many times when I was pregnant with my eldest. I wanted to be sure I had everything. In the end my labour was so quick that it never left the car boot! Second time around I packed a very basic hospital bag as I had a planned homebirth. It looks like you've got everything covered. :)
