WHAT'S IN MY HOSPITAL BAG? | for labour and delivery | mama & baby | FROM A NURSE (UK)

Hey everyone! 💗
This video will take you through each item I am packing to take to hospital with me for when I go into labour with our baby girl.
Apologies for speaking so quickly in this video, I had so much to cover and I didn't want it dragged out!
I am a Registered Nurse working in Acute Oncology in a UK hospital, I have insight on what it is like to be an inpatient and I will share this with you throughout the video. Although, I am a first time mum, so I am still learning everything about motherhood/!
I have added links below for particular items I have purchased for the hospital bag which you may find useful.
