From the time I found out I was pregnant I was constantly going over what I had to buy in my head. Separating from my partner when I was just 3 months pregnant meant I had the expense all on my own but I scrimped and saved and made sure my little angel was very well prepared for. With my son being my first child I did go by the books and pack everything it said to take on a pull-out sheet I had inside a Mothercare brochure. For him I had Cardi's, vests, sleepsuits, cotton balls, baby lotion, the lot, everything the leaflet said. Little did I realise I wouldn't need most things and the things I did need I didn't pack enough of. The reason for that being I had ...  Read the complete review

The first time around, I took everything I thought I would need. This resulted in us looking as if we were off on holiday rather than going to the labour ward. As it turned out, I was in hospital for several days, so I still didn't have half the things I needed. Trust me, you don't want to be telling your other half how many pairs of knickers you're going to need when you've just given birth. The second time around, I approached things slightly differently. I packed three bags (I think this may have had something to do with nesting, but it seemed to make sense at the time). I had one bag for labour and immediately afterwards, which came with us into the ...  Read the complete review

From around 32weeks I had myself convinced I was going to go into labour at anytime and I to be prepared, so my hospital/labour bag was mostly packed and sitting at the front door. The night I did go into labour though, we were at my Mother in Laws and had to stop off home to get the bag! Every woman has different needs even in labour but I will list what I personally think is a well planned labour bag! First of all, the bag doesn't have to be massive, just enough room to fit your things. Primark do some lovely holdall type bags for around £5-7 which are perfect and my sister bought me a red with white polka dot one. For Mum *a mini fan* ...  Read the complete review

Every woman is different, but here is a compilation of what I took to hospital in my bag for the birth of my first child... 1) Bournville chocolate (get your priorities right!), although as I had an epidural, I wasn't allowed to eat anything in case I had to have a caesarean - still it did come in handy as I was there for 5 days after my baby arrived and the hospital food was not up to much... 2) a hand held fan - actually, this wasn't a bad idea. Hospitals can be hot at the best of times, but especially in summer. Of course my husband had to hold it to my face, not me! 3) Bendy drinking straw. May seem a little odd, but you will probably not be in the mood to hold a  Read the complete review
