When it comes to packing your maternity hospital bag, it’s easy to focus on the big things lie pyjamas, nappies, baby grows. But there are always a few small items that mums wish they’d brought.
Here are 7 of the most commonly forgotten, but oh-so-useful, hospital bag essentials:
Hospital air can be very dry, and between breathing through contractions and hours in bed, your lips will feel it.
Phone charging ports are often far from the bed. An extension lead or extra long charging cable = instant convenience.
A godsend during labour, especially if the room is warm or you’re having hot flushes (a cooling towel works wonderfully here aswell).
Keep all those discharge notes, forms and birth plans clean and together.
Jot down feeding times, questions for midwives, or the tiny moments you’ll want to remember later.
Hospitals can be chilly and slippery—stay warm and safe during those first walks post-birth.
Yes, the energy bars are good, but throw in your favourite crisps or chocolate too. You’ve earned it!
