PACK MY HOSPITAL BAG WITH ME!! (Mum, Baby & Dad Bag) *35 Weeks Pregnant* 2021

[@marywilliamson4465]

It kills me that you have to justify every thing you’ve packed in there, because you know for a fact some saddo is going to judge you! Does it really affect anyone else if you over pack? No. You pack what you’re comfortable with! As a mum twice over and a student midwife, I can say you’ve nailed it! So excited for you Imogen!! Xx

[@Georgialouise1xx]

I could agree more!!! She’s just such a pure soul that doesn’t want to be judged it’s so sad 💗🥲

[@marywilliamson4465]

Beautiful couple, inside and out! Xx

[@Lozza144]

Amazing couple you don’t deserve the crap you get. Love you lots

[@zaynabdaniyal]

Honestly no one needs to justify "how much" or " how little" they take in their hospital bags. It angers me because everyone has a different idea of what is necessary and take what ever you want to the hospital and what will make you feel comfortable during your time there, that's all that matters. I've been pregnant 2 times before, I'm pregnant with my 3rd now and even the last 2 times I took a decent amount and still had loads that I forgot or wish I had taken. Yes people can always bring you more stuff if you need it but for me personally knowing what I have and taking it with me knowing what I have and where it is makes it so much more less stressful and makes you feel more comfortable during your time at the hospital. I don't actually think "overpacking" is a thing tbh but imo it's better to take more than less instead of in the middle of the night realising I wish I had this or that and not being able to get your hands on it.

can’t believe how quickly your pregnancy has flown by, I just know you & Spencer are going to be the best parents to your little one! can’t wait to follow you guys on this journey🥺 love from a small youtuber💞

[@hollyplumb2954]

Haven’t watched the full video yet but my life saver during labour was a water bottle that you can drink out of from all angles, so you can drink while laying down, on your side etc..

[@Imogenhorton.]

Omg I have a 2 litre one forgot to mention that! Brilliant shout! Thanks angel xx

[@rebeccaannan2791]

I would love an update on what you actually use while you're in hospital, if thrre was anything you didn't need and things you should have taken in. So exited for you guys. Not long now!! 💞

[@LouHill_ox]

You’re just the purest angel ever, you can pack as much or as little as what you want babygirl, this is your pregnancy, your birth, your choice! Whatever makes you relaxed, calm, happy you do that!! I can’t believe how fast your pregnancy has gone though, I still remember the day you announced your pregnancy!! I can’t wait to meet babygirl, I love you lots!!🥰

Loving your videos :) I would say ditch the lemon shower gel and buy something very gentle as you may find the lemon gel really stings you! Ouch and you don't want that. Thanks for all the great tips, the labelled bags are such a great idea :)

newborn socks i suggest either matalan, asda or primark!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@rachmoxy18]

You feel very down to earth and relatable in this! Like chatting with a sister/friend ❤️

[@oliviahall9729]

In primark you can get bra extenders so that nursing bra that's a bit small around the back can be made larger so it fits better xx

[@sophie7051]

The biggest advice I can give for labour is to breath, and focus on breathing, your body is built for it and will guide you, trust yourself and don’t let others influence you on your decisions, it’s your body and your baby and you both know what’s best, your going to be the most amazing mum and dad and with every bit of pain it brings you closer to meeting your precious little one, keep hydrated and pack energy bars that you can have a munch on quickly, also you can get bra extenders to help that bra fit you a bit better, good luck hun I’m so excited for you both 😘🤍 xxx

[@n.m8287]

Breathing make it less painful or stressful? Scared a little of labour

[@jodyprice9751]

All hospitals are different but the one I work at is free parking at the minute due to covid,so hopefully it'll be free for you as it can get expensive. I doubt you'll need 0-3 months clothes. My heaviest 2 children were 9lb and they still wore newborn. I love how you've packed flameless candles and essential oils. All the best hun and if they offer you painrelief (gas & air, pethidine) take it. Don't be scared you'll be fine just listen to your body. Xx

Huh? What r u on about I said my heaviest 2 children were 9lb not the heaviest babies I've seen???

[@rebekahcolinese1099]

ok stop because I used to be obsessed with your videos and somehow stopped because this is my old yt account but OMG YOUR MARRIED AMD PREGNANT NOW?!? congratulations!! you know when you go through stages of fav KZbinrs I’m so glad I found you again because I also remember relating to your old vids about your illness and being ill when you were younger x

[@abbijarvis4487]

I had a catheter in after birth so only really wore nighties until I went home. The always discreet boutique underwear were a life saver.. the pad is so big that it acts like a bit of a cushion aswell as you're rather sore! A cup with a straw was so helpful because you don't want to lift it up all the time. Not sure who said about air con but babies need to be really warm after birth so the rooms are usually very toastie rather than cold. I put my son's outfits in separate bags so my partner could just grab a bag out for me.. he had no idea what all the clothes were. I took a pack of 25 nappies and were plenty..lucozade sports for energy..hope that helps xx

[@emmaholdforth8962]

I am so happy that we have got to share this journey with you, can't wait till baby girl is here and we can share more amazing memories! You are going to be an amazing mum and Spence is going to be an amazing dad! Luckiest baby girl in the world x

[@LaurenKatieJ]

I’m 27 weeks with my third baby boy & watching this has made me really want to make a start on our bags! I’d definitely recommend packing a travel changing mat as you usually end up just changing them on your bed & it can get a little messy, also some milton sterilising wipes to wipe down dummies if you use them & also your little table as everything gets dumped on there then they just plonk your food on it too.. Loving following your pregnancy journey & hope everything goes well for you all x

[@marneylinsell7499]

Don't worry about being too cold as the hospital have to keep the hospital hot/a certain temp for babies on the maternity ward. I feel the cold and I gave birth in January and I'm telling you now I was sweating it was like a sauna so you want a fan and a water bottle with a straw, going through labour you will need to drink lots as you'll get so dehydrated, it really takes it our of you but so so worth it! So excited for you and Spencer xx

when you were talking about taking formula to the hospital and then said ‘i’m probably wrong’ i literally nearly cried. idk why it just made me so sad for no reason 💖

[@feliciabourque]

I can't believe baby princess is almost here. I'm so excited for you and Spencer.

[@MissMarshmallowMelt]

A big tip I got from my brother-in-law is to buy the same brand dummies as the bottles you've bought. Apparently leads to less confusion for baby because they will recognise the teat. Hope this helps ❤️

[@clairesimpson5581]

Wow 5 weeks left its flown for you both its exciting packing hospital bags . As regards Dummies my Daughter has found the Nuby newborn ones the best every baby is different as they come in different shapes her first born liked the flat teats where as new baby prefers the cherry teat ones so might be best buying both kinds.

[@kellstinkerbell71]

Awww lovely, you’ve done so well. Baby girl is so lucky to have such an amazing kind loving mummy and daddy. 🌸

[@abiboyce6971]

Best to over pack than under pack honey and take a variety of baby sizes if you can! With my first baby we were in hospital for a week so even though I took enough stuff for a couple days I still had to get family to bring me more things & go out to buy tiny baby clothes because nothing fitted her she was so small. I think your first labour in generally a longer process. With my second baby I was in and out in a few hours I didn’t use barely anything from my bag x

[@alicetucker9340]

(I'm sure you do already know this) but, perineal bottles are designed for when you go to the toilet after birth to that you can avoid getting irritation from the tissue so Spencer won't need to do it for you like you said in the video.. they are really easy to use 🥰☺️ and honestly if you have to have to have stitches down there I cannot recommend it enough but also actually use it whilst weeing aswell as in at the same time) because your wee can really sting if you've had stitches 🤦🏻‍♀️😩 good luck and you and Spencer are gonna be amazing parents 😩😍🥰❤️xxxxx

[@alexarobertson17]

I live in America (diff med system) but was born & raised in Canada (pretty similar to uk) and I am genuinely interested in why she has to pack cotton wool, maxi pads, diapers for baby & mom etc... Doesnt the hospital provide all of that? The amount of taxes that pay for the nhs, I'd want to take advantage of anything free. My friend had a baby recently and took home so many cans of formula. And that's in the us. Lol I am so obsessed with the UK so Im very curious.

I had to stay in for 4 days even though I had a fantastic pregnancy and easy labour baby came out unexpectedly weighing 4ibs 10oz at full term and he couldn’t hold his temp that well, even though he didn’t go to nicu he did have to keep being checked on the ward with me. So overpacking is a great idea. My second I went in hospital at 11.15 he was born in the corridor of the hospital I was on my way home at 5am straight from delivery. So every labour is so different x

[@Itzme767]

Asda newborn socks fit the best! Primark ones are way over sized I found! :)

[@sarahkamara4448]

I have children 3 boys 1 girl I had my first at 16 and each birth was different, I had epidurals with 3 boys but with my little girl my water went it was really quick from that point so didn't have time for epidural and so glad I didn't it was totally different experience and I was more awake less tired and remembered everything more clear but I found straddling the headboard of hospital bed best worked with gravity and helped loads staying quiet and focused for breathing threw each contraction really helps and is biggest tip. You will feel love like never before when u see ur little girl for the first time nothing beats that feeling at all which is why we ho threw all the pain again n again. You have done so we'll threw all the stress of renovations and totally get the nesting thing it is something only a pregnant woman knows,Good luck you both will make beautiful parents love is the key thing a child needs and use too have bucket loads! 🥰

Thoroughly reccomend getting a Boppy!!! (Horseshoe shaped pillow) I bought one for my Son, but I ended up using it to sit on, as I had to have stitches. Lavender oil too. I was told by my midwife to have Lavender and milk baths, as it helps heal the birthing area. I used to look forward to my baths. Don't forget snacks and drinks for during labour and your phone charger too..... Was just going to say take your own pillow, and then you said it 😊. Xxx
