Description: The hospital may not supply towels

Newest Review: ... buy cheap ones purely for the hospital. Most hospitals don't provide towels and even if they did would you really want to use them? They probably wouldn't cover much anyway!

Your hospital list is most likely to have a couple of towels listed. Search your cupboards for towels that you don't mind getting ruined or alternatively buy cheap ones purely for the hospital.

When packing my hospital bag ready for the big event of having my first baby , I wondered whether I would need to pack a towel or not. Did they supply them at the hospital or would you have to take your own I wondered. I asked my community midwife , and she said that I should take my own in with me. The hospital only supply the bearest minimum of bits and they are usually just for the baby. So I raided my towel cupboard and soon thought that I should buy some new towels for my hospital bag. The reason being that all the towels I have at home are white , and I imagined that I would need a darker colour with all the blood loss I had heard about.

I would recomend you to take two bath towels and a hair towel in with you, the hair towel isnt that important about what colour it is but i would advise taking dark coloured bath towels as any stains on these will come out a lot easier than on light coloured towels, if you are staying for more than a couple of days then get friends or family members to bring you fresh ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant with my son 5 years ago I started packing my hospital bag at about 3 months pregnant I was that excited. Anyway the contents changed about 6 times over the next 6 months due to all the books, magazines and advice I was given on what to take. I sort of ended up with a big weekend bag for my stuff, and a small weekend bag for babies stuff. It was still a right load to take into hospital with you when you are suffering contractions and your husband is trying to support you and the luggage!! Here is a short list of some of the more useful stuff that I ended up with: Towels - as per the title of this review, clean towels ...  Read the complete review
