    Oh poo durham girl... but as pigpen says try not to worry:)

    Emsy - I only have the 1 bag BUT I feel silly taking baby stuff in at 31 weeks (unless they want baby out) so have done a "just me bag" incase I go in. When I reach a bit further along I shall pop my "me" stuff back in my proper hospital bag. I hope that makes sense??;)


    ah right I get it. sort of. you all like packing then LOL :D

    On the subject of hospital bags... my proper bag (which isn't done properly) is already looking like a bag packed for a 4 week holiday!!! I'm going to be pushing the baby out but be more worried about whether the staff are laughing at the size of my luggage!

    lol.. thats why I do mine in 3 bags.. one goes out to the car and another smaller one comes in with 4 times as much rammed in! My 'hospital bag' is a small wheeled case this time... fits air plane hand luggage measurement so is fine!

    I have 3 lists on the go: me, baby and OH (I'm guessing he'll want a snack/toothrush/book at some point)

    I think I'll be splitting into 3 bags - immediate for leading up to and the birth, after for coming home and an emergency stay which will be left at home and OH can bring it if we need to stay in for some reason with extra nappies and clothes etc.
    The list is getting quite long ... when is everyone packing theirs? I'm only 30 weeks.

    OH is taking his own bag.. food, juice, camera, book, DS and respective chargers.. he hasn't packed his yet.

    I did mine at about 31/32 weeks.. but do tend to spawn early

    I'm not leaving OH to do his own! He would have no idea and end up mithering me all the time because he'd forgotten stuff.
