Ask if hospital provide towels!?
I do want to buy the PJ's soon but thinking should I wait until I'm further along though so I know what size to get?🤔 I was a size 14-16 pre pregnancy and have been wearing some of my normal cardigans and tops as they've been baggy. I don't think I've put much noticeable weight on my legs or arms and I don't mind baggy stuff anyway so could get away with buying stretchy material in a size 20 maybe?
I'm 30+6 now and still haven't even thought about my hospital bag but you've given me a helpful list! X

If your planning on bottle feeding don't forget the pre made up milk (didn't see this on your list so sorry if it is x)
You sound super organised hun, best to have it all ready to go xx
Slippers, Â towel, toiletries, magazines and a puzzle book for the stay in hospital, big comfy pants, few pairs of warm socks and maternity pads.
Phone and charger, and camera if you want.
For the baby I needed: 2 or 3 vests and sleep suits with integral scratch mits, nappies (we took one pack of about 30 newborn size) and baby wipes, towel (this wasn't on the list provided by the hospital but when they bathed the baby they expected us to have bought one), 3 or 4 muslin squares.
Things I packed but didn't use: snacks and drinks (but I wasn't in labour very long at the hospital), a cute "going home" outfit for my daughter, Breast pads - I didn't need these until my milk came in a few days after the birth and I was home by then. Dressing gown - I wore a warm cardigan instead which is always good to have.

Good idea to just use a Cardigan if I don't have room for a dressing gown as well. I'm booked into go see the birth centre at my local hospital on the 9th so will ask regarding towels then x
Yay attaching a photo finally worked haha
