I’m not even pregnant but love watching this videos 🤣

Student midwife here! Love all your videos ❤ I just wanted to give you a heads up that products with witch hazel and “Spritz for bits” are not recommended as these products tend to break down stitches early and can cause big problems with healing! Wishing you all the best and can’t wait to hear how everything goes for you 🥰

Something I was glad to have were ear plugs. That's more for before the baby is born but my induction took several days/ nights and I had other women snoring really loudly in my room, so I was glad that I had those. Will definitely pack them again for Baby Nr. 2

Currently packing my hospital bag and doing a mass wash of all baby boys' stuff whilst watching this.
All feeling so real now.
Another great video

Been looking to find out what other people are packing in their hospital bags and this was super helpful, thank you so much for sharing 🥰

[isabelwatts]

I also recommended a pregnancy pillow and own pillow as well to make you more comfortable in your hospital stay to give you a nice better sleep

[sophiej]

Don’t forget nursing bras / nursing vest tops (H&M ones are fab) 😊 x

[abbierose]

I had my little girl not long after you had George and found all your videos so helpful and now I am due a little boy on 22nd June! Have enjoyed your videos along this journey at the same time again 🥰 good luck with it all

[chelseajoe]

Love the video - so helpful! Maybe a towel to pack too? Preferably black? I’ve secured mine 😂 you may have already said it too, I wouldn’t trust my baby brain with anything right now! 💖

The only thing is I would buy size 0 nappy

[mooey]

I had my first baby a few months after you and now im pregnant again just few months away 😅
I like the frosted bags too. I kept all my Patpat order ones 😅

[isabelwatts]

I recommend that a baby hospital bag is a knitted hat to put with the first outfit so you can keep the two hats for the hospital stay and and one extra bow for the hospital pictures in the hospital stay and pack a cardigan to put on baby to come home in from the hospital and pack a extra one vest for any blow outs in your hospital stay

Just a heads up i tried to breastfeed my 3rd baby for the first time and because he wouldnt latch on i wasnt allowed out the hospital for 3 days. Xx

[xFionajslifex]

Both times the lucozade was my go too. I couldn't eat during labour at all so they really helped. Good luck my 2nd baby was so much quicker than 1st xx

[ridasarani]

Thank you so much for explaining how to wear the disposable underwear along with the products for soothing as I was quite confused when you were explaining the products (thinking that I would be bleeding so how would I use the spray etc).. but it makes sense :) loved the entire video, as I am starting to pack for my hospital bag.

[Hollie]

I had orange lucozade sports and I had haribo teddy bears and bounty bars 😂 this time around I’ve got lucozade sports again, m&ms, a bag of mini love hearts and some sweets of TikTok shop how healthy 😂 good luck with everything I hope it all goes well xx

Hi Shan :) love watching these videos although my kids are teens now lol. I ended up with an emergency section twice so maybe think about if that happened having extra stuff ready for ash to bring in if needed. I was in for 4 days both times so needed more clothes for baby, more breast pads, maternity pads etc :) Also nursing bras are prob a good idea as you can open it so much easier xx

[alishia]

I found your channel by watching your 'What's in my hospital bag' video when you were pregnant with George. I was pregnant with my little one at the time who's now 2. I'm also almost 15 weeks pregnant now! How crazy haha

[isabelwatts]

I recommend it for a postpartum kit for the hospital stay at bringing tucks pads and and Frida mom witch hazel pad liners both of them are you best friend and Frida mom instant cooling ice pads are amazing after birth and always discreet adult nappies are amazing to after birth to fit everything you need in side the adult nappies and after ease drops in water are amazing to help with after birth contractions are brilliant after giving birth

[vanucoria]

I have two kids and my snack choices were similar to yours. One that I loved loved loved were dates! Sweet, nutritional and easy to eat. Downed the whole bag in 2 hours postpartum :)
