[Lacey's Mummy]

I might get some new toiletries as i won't be able to pack until labour otherwise... what do i need for that? Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, deordrant, shower gel, Shampoo... I don't want to stay in for long so hoping i won't need to use it but will take it just in case i have the same problem as before with placenta.

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Just thought, with lacey i had to take my own milk and bottles! Not sure how many bottles to take!

 

[evie_smith]

I'll ask at my next mw appointment then but with lace i had to take my own!!!

 

[MrsR]

I bought travel sized toiletries and a new toothbrush x

I've heard quite a few hospitals are refusing to supply milk and bottles in a bid to make people breast feed. I'd phone and ask them honey

 

[Yodabo]

My hospital supplies formula and bottles. I'd ask your midwife when you see her next.

In my toiletries bag I got, shower cream wash, shampoo, flannel, scrub thingy, wipes, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrush, bobbles and I might take the razor for my pits lol

oh and don't forget your notes!

lipbalm and bodylotion

 

[Yodabo]

Makeup!! I can't forget it this time! I had photos done after I had Dom in my hospital bed and I look like complete shit! Everyone lies when they say 'your looking good considering you've just given birth!' so before any visitors I'm gonna make sure I have at least have concealer on for my dark circles!

 

[isobel84]

im naturally goregous so i dont need it

haha foundation and eyebrow pen is a must for me (blond eyebrowns to dark hair- not a nice thing on me)
