Whatever you would take in an overnight
bag, like if you were staying with a
friend or at a hotel. Clothes to come
home in. Extra socks - hospital floors
are cold. Pads (don't forget those!). A
book. There are lists of stuff you should
take - but I don't think the majority of
that stuff gets used. Think about being
away from your house for a day or two -
what would you want with you?

the essentials!)

flannel or natural sponge, ice cubes in a
flask, healthy snacks, cds (music), things
to remind you of home, magazines or easy
reading, comfy clothes. Pillows and
cushions, bean bag and inflatable ball,
disposable knickers/old knickers, change
of clothes, maternity pads, lip balm,
toileteries, towel, overnight clothes,
dressing gown, chocolate rewards!!!! Lol
for dad: drinks, snacks/sandwiches, change
of clothes, camera, change for car
park/vending machines/payphones, list of
people to phone
