pregnancy notes, nighties (if planning to Breastfeed think about ones that wil help), supportive bras/nursing bras. old large knickers! clothes (again if planning to breastfeed think about clothes that will make it easy.) toiletries, snacks, drinks,. I took a tennis ball so it could be massaged onto my back, my ipod and magazines to pass time and try to distract me. and of course your camera!!!!

Hey, yes plenty of maternity pads not sanitry pads. And the hospital ones are like mattresses between your legs argh so awful. You'll also need stuff for baby, nappies, shawl, hat, baby gros n vests car seat. Bottles milk if not bf. I also took a spare flannel so it could be dampened with cold water to cool me down, I defo reccomend warm socks because although you get hot your feet go like ice because your body uses a lot of blood to help get baby out . And some mints to keep your mouth fresh as gas n air can really dry it out. Don't have too many mints mind you lol, my first had bad wind after birth n think it was my mints lol. And everything else is just as the post by ollie's mummy. Good luck xx
