What's in my hospital bag? | What to pack?
My ‘What’s in my hospital bag?’ video was highly requested from so many of you, and I blinkin’ LOVED filming it! Being someone who likes to be prepared for every eventuality, it’s a thorough list… and I may or may not have packed a suitcase, as well as my beautiful Storksak leather change bag! I really hope all you mama-to-be’s out there find it helpful – grab your cuppa, get comfortable and hit play! PS for any of you mama’s who’d like a list to refer to after watching, I’ve popped my list below with direct links to some of the products mentioned…
