Bag for Mom

Packing your all important Hospital bag can be a little confusing!... What do I need? How much stuff should I take? Will I need that? How much is parking? 

On with the list!!

• Tooth brush & Toothpaste - remember a tooth brush for your partner too if they intend to stay.
• A "donut" shape pillow memory foam... Nice and easy to sit on after for the drive home!
• Music for the birth (ipod, CD) 
• Birthing Ball! - Great for keeping you moving during birth and something to lean on! 
• CAMERA - and a charger, if your in over night you may need it
• Phone charger
• Change for parking
• Copies of your birth plan
• Hospital notes!
• Drinks & Snacks
• A towel (for a shower or bath) & Flannel (for during labor)
• 2 loose t-shirt or pajama dress/top you wish to wear during labor/birth and one for after.
• Dressing gown
• Slippers
• Socks
• Knickers - a few pairs
• Nursing bra & breast pads
• Going home outfit - preferably something loose, and not too tight... DEFINITELY not jeans
