In my hospital bag

I had started to pack my hospital bag from about 28 weeks gestation as you never know what might happen,  it didn’t help that I has a bit of a scare whilst at work as my underwear were a bit on the wet side and I didn’t know if it was my waters trickling,  I peed myself or if I was just really sweaty down there from sitting down on the tills. 
So anyways here is what I put into baby’s bag

• 4 short sleeved grows size 0-3months
• 3 short sleeved grows size tiny baby
• 3 long sleeves grows size 0-3 months
• 3 long sleeves grows size tiny baby
• 6 sleeper suits size 0-3 months
• 1 pack of newborn size 1 nappies
• 2 blankets 
• 5 hats
• 3 scratch proof mits
• Cotton wool pads
• Coming home outfit

I think that was it for Damon’s bag, as I didn’t know how big Damon was going to be I packed tiny baby just to be on the safe side, quite lucky I did as a couple came in on my 2nd night after having a little girl and she was soo tiny they hadn’t really prepared anything as they were going to get someone to bring their bag down but little babe was quite a sicky baby, they had ran out of clothes for her after her throwing up so I gave them all the clothes that wouldn’t fit Damon to them to see them through till someone came down 🙂 

For my bag I did only have a few things in them but once I knew about having a section I increased the amount I was taking due to not knowing how long I would be in hospital for.  So here is my list

• Wash bag that includes shampoo, conditioner, body wash, wash cloth, toothbrush, toothpaste and a hair brush
• Lots of maternity pads
• Breast pads
• Nipple cream
• 3 packs of oversized full brief knickers 
• 2 maternity/nursing bras
• 2 maxi dresses
• Sandles
• Slippers
• 4 pairs of socks
• Coming home outfit
• 5 night shirts
• Maternity pillow
• Dressing gown 
• Lip balm
• Blue Poweraide/ lucazade drinks to help keep your sugars up
• Some snacks

That’s all I can remember for myself, but I did over pack with what I had needed as my stay in the hospital was only 2 nights, it would of been only 1 if I didn’t insist on staying longer as I wasn’t comfortable with breastfeeding just yet and wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything wrong with his latch before I left. 

Sorry the post is a day late but I have came down with a stinker of a cold and its knocked me out a bit. 
Hope you have had a good week so far 🙂
