Скачать или смотреть What I'm SO GLAD I Packed in my Hospital Bag for Labour & Birth

If you're planning your hospital bag packing list for giving birth, hopefully by sharing my experience I can help you to pack what you actually need for labour and the birth of your baby. I'll tell you what I actually used in my hospital bag, so that you can figure out your hospital bag essentials, now that you're planing that part of your pregnancy.

I packed a lot in my hospital bag(s)… some might say too much! Here are the links to the exact bits and bobs I bought, and a couple of similar items too:

Stress ball (similar to mine): https://amzn.to/3WAcJe8

Perineal bottle: https://www.boots.com/boots-maternity...

Spritz for bits: https://amzn.to/3zLiEDp

Perineal Cold Packs (bought but not used): https://amzn.to/3DZo2Fw

Disposable knickers (not a fan!): https://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/7pack...

Tena Pants (these have pads built in so same brand, but not quite the same as the hospital gave me): https://amzn.to/3UqddBN

Maternity Briefs (loved these but bought ones far too smal): https://amzn.to/3FMeVcS

Maternity Pads (ones too big for my knickers): https://amzn.to/3NEFEKk

Bloom & Nora Maternity Pads (amazing reusable ones): https://www.boots.com/bloom-nora-reus...

Disposable breast pads (ouch!): https://www.boots.com/boots-disposabl...

Additional to the above, I took:

Clothes for myself including all the baggy clothes I could find, spare undies, spare set of clothes and pjs. The hospital was boiling so I didn't need layers until going home
Nursing top and bra (that I forgot I packed)
Dressing gown
Slippers
Pillow
Water bottle
Pregnacare vitamins (for breastfeeding)
Snacks (as many as fit in the bag)
Wash bag (deodorant, vaseline, shower gel, hair wash, mini hair products, brush and hair ties, moisturiser, tooth brush and paste, dry shampoo, and other other bits you feel you need!)
Power bank and charger for phone.
Entertainment - laptop / books (I didn’t use either!)
Bits and bobs for the baby (I took far too much but now would limit it too): onesie(s) with fold over mittens, hat(s), blankets (I took 2 and used these all of the time), nappies, wipes, muslins, warm clothes for going home, teddy (not necessary but cute), woolly jacket / clothes (if cold), car seat and base or pushchair.
