Dream Hospital Bag

Although the birth centre stay is only short we still need to pack a hospital bag.

I can guarantee my hospital bag and contents are not glamorous. In fact I've bought the largest pairs of undies for a whole $1 to wear after the birth and simply throw out. That's how unglamorous I'm willing to be. Cheap clothes, underwear and anything that can be thrown out if it gets too much lovely gunk on it without feeling guilty.

I'd love to be one of those woman who have a glamorous hospital bag though so I'm going to do a dream hospital bag.

Starting with the all important bag which of course has a skull on it;

Lucky 13 Skull Overnight Bag $34.00

Next some pampering stuff to make the experience a little bit better. They can also be used afterwards by both the mister and me as long as they don't get gross;

Muscle Roller, Bath Pillow, Ultra Soft Wash Cloth from Body Shop

Shower and body essentials from the Body Shop which means quality, safe products;

Coconut Shower Cream, Vanilla Body Butter, DeoDry Deodorant from Body Shop

Massage oil and hair pampering again from the Body Shop;

Massage Oil, Shampoo, Conditioner from Body Shop

A lovely lace number that can be worn while giving birth, a pj set to wear after the birth and a tunic that can be worn to glam up while still at the hospital or on the way home. These are all from Peter Alexander. Quality clothes that look damn good;

Lacey Oversized Top, Daisy PJ Set, Summer Floral Tunic from Peter Alexander

Comfy, good quality clothes to wear home from the hospital. These clothes are light, loose yet look good;

Wrap Cardigan from Witjuti, Lounge Cape from Wellicious, Lounge Pants from Witjuti

The next necessity is of course maternity bras and undies;

Hospital towels are fine and dandy but some extremely soft towels would be lovely as well as a beautiful throw for either the mister and I to use during labour. Lips can get dry quickly while in labour/giving birth so Lucas Papaw cream is a must plus it can be used for almost anything;

Bath Sheet and Throw from Laura Ashley, Lucas Papaw Ointment from Woolies

Can't forget the baby! Sesame would be dressed in light colours because she wouldn't have any exploding poos or spews. She'd look ADORABLE in these clothes;

Jacket, Booties, Dress, Leggings from Pumpkin Patch

Last we need snacks and reading material. iPhone has books, movies, music and social media to keep both the mister and me occupied. You never know how many snacks you need or exactly what you'll feel like on the day so this HUGE picnic pack is awesome as well as Coke. Always need Coke;

I'm sure I've forgotten something, I always do. Luckily we live only 15mins away from the hospital and family members can always bring what we've forgotten. I left out the really boring stuff like maternity pads, breast pads, nappies, toothbrush and toothpaste - you know the boring essentials.

What would have been in your dream hospital bag?

Disclaimer: I don't own or have received any of these items from these companies. Oh except my iPhone which I purchased with the mister's money. I would like these products though which is why I'm blogging about them. They are pretty, yummy and smell nice.
