What To Pack In Your Hospital Bag
So your expecting, and its that kinda time you should start to think about packing that ever important hospital bag.
But what on earth do you NEED?
Well I asked, and the Mamas delivered.
So heres a few hospital bag essentials items you don’t want to miss & maybe some you didn’t think you needed!
Bridget Jones Pants - For those of you who haven’t seen Bridget Jones the film, the term basically means very large, very comfortable pants. You need to be comfy so loose fitting extra large pants will be your best friend.
Sweets/Chocolate - Its going to get pretty physical in there so you need to keep your energy levels up. Sweets or chocolate will be a great addition to your hospital bag, plus hospital food isn’t ideal … usually!
Dry Shampoo - Lets be honest, mid birthing a human you aren’t going to think twice about ‘hair wash day’ but clean hair is always great and definitely makes you feel good. You may be in for a while and showering may not be an option for a little while, so pop a tube of the old dry shampoo in your bag, just incase.
Extra Maternity/Breast Pads - More than you’ll ever need! You’ll be surprised by how many you go through whilst your there, so extra is always advised.
Comfy Clothes - Its easily overlooked, but you’ll definitely need comfy maternity clothes for going home. You’ll most likely feel a little sore & stiff so loose clothing for the way home is a must.
And a few others for the road;
Mints / Phone Charger / Slippers / Headband / Spare PJS.
So there we are, a few tried and tested hospital bag essentials from Mamas themselves.
