With both of my girls I had to toss out socks because blood went down my leg. So extra socks!

And I love beef jerky.

Iv been told we can take some music in to listen to to relax or something... so maybe some relaxing music for you and the baby.

vaseline!! a reat big tub of the stuff!! if u use gas and air it will help your lips to stay moist, nothin worse than having chapped sore lips on top of everything else! a hair brush and some nice stuff to wash yourself with after too. i know it sounds odd but you will feel more human and urself if u can have a good scrub and wash your hair after. and a feeding pillow if u r planning to breast feed as they dont provide these in hospital. good luck

one important thing to remeber is breast pads, they are very important as i forgot mine and had to ask a women on the same ward as me for some lol

breast pads too; i had a water spray for while I was in labour to keep me cool, was great! also pain killers - not really allowed but i found that after I'd had the baby, if I was asleep i missed out on the pain killers so if I did it again I would take some in. And some chocolate or snack for after having the baby if you feel hungry in the middle of the night.

i took fruit in as at he hospital i was at they only brought one snack round which was cheese and a cracker! hello!! i was breast feeding and clearly needed more than that! bananas are a good one to keep your strength up
