Packing for Hospital

As I am new in the UK. I have no clue what the NHS will provide. I am seeking advice in packing my bag for the hospital as this is my first pregnancy.

Suggestions please!

    This is from NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/labour-and-birth/preparing-for-the-birth/pack-your-bag-for-labour/ Pack your bag for labour What you'll need for labour and birth Get a few things ready at least 3 weeks before your due date. For yourself, you'll probably want to pack: your birth plan and hospital notes something loose and comfortable to wear during labour that does not restrict you from moving around or make you too hot 3 changes of loose, comfortable clothes 2 or 3 comfortable and supportive bras, including nursing bras if you're planning to breastfeed - remember, your breasts will be much larger than usual breast pads 2 packets of super-absorbent period or maternity pads 5 or 6 pairs of knickers - you may want to bring some disposable ones your washbag with a toothbrush, hairbrush, flannel, soap, lip balm, deodorant, hair ties and other toiletries towels things to help you pass the time and relax - for example, books, magazines, music or podcasts a fan or water spray to cool you down front-opening or loose-fitting nighties or tops if you're going to breastfeed dressing gown and slippers healthy snacks and drinks extra pillows a TENS machine if you intend to use one any medicines you're taking For the baby, you might want to pack: bodysuits, vests and sleepsuits an outfit for going home in a hat, scratch mittens and socks or booties plenty of nappies a shawl or blanket muslin squares or bibs a car seat for the trip home Home births If you're planning to give birth at home, discuss your plans and what you need to prepare with your midwife. Think about where in your home you want to give birth. You're likely to need: clean bed clothes and towels clothes (including a hat) and nappies for the baby 2 packets of super-absorbent period or maternity pads Even if you're planning to have your baby at home, you should pack some things in case you need to go into hospital at any point. Get prepared When you come home, you will not want to do much more than rest and care for your baby, so do as much planning as you can in advance. If you can, buy lots of basic items such as toilet paper, period pads and nappies in advance. If you have a freezer, you could cook some meals in advance and freeze them. Transport You should plan how you'll get to the hospital or midwifery unit because you might need to go there at any time of the day or night. If you're planning to go by car, make sure it's running well and that there's always enough petrol in the tank. If someone else has said they'll take you, make an alternative arrangement just in case they're not available. Hope it will help. Best of luck and congratulations in advance.
