I’m 2 years late, and watching this video early at 27 weeks 😭 but thank you so much for this info. I’ve got everything ready, but it’s so nice to see someone else packing while I do. Really helps. I’m glad everything went well! Xx
I really wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so open and honest in this video. It was so helpful xx I'm almost 34 weeks pregnant now and am just halfway through my shopping so I decided to watch a video instead of panicking and your video calmed my anxiety so much! God bless you and your beautiful family 😘
Thank you much. I'm glad this video helped you. If can be so stressful packing everything but just take a few extra of everything and you'll definitely be prepared. Hope you have a safe delivery ❤
My first child was born in the evening so I stayed the night at the hospital. My second child was born early in the morning so I went home 4hours after delivery. And I'm about to have my 3rd baby, but it has already been planned for us to spend 3 days in the hospital because I live rural and it's an hour to the hospital, so this time we live a little too far from the hospital. I've always had good birth experiences and I'm "textbook" apparently so there are no complications expected but it's nice to have the option, especially with 2 kids at home
I'm not packing towels cause it's too bulking for my suitcase but the hospital has a bunch of them I can use. My towels at home are shit anyways I think the hospital will have nicer ones 😅
Hehehe I'm only 16 weeks and 3 days still got a long way to go but at least I'm getting ideas on wat to pack when the time comes. Where did you buy your baby preparation here in Australia?
You can never be too prepared. The stuff is from a bunch of places. Most of the casual clothes were from Kmart as well as the slippers, they have the best lounge wear super soft and stretchy. Some of the baby clothes are bonds and the big robe is from Peter Alexandra. And a few things are from Priceline like my cosmetics and the pads. I recommend going to best and less they have everything and it's super affordable. The baby clothes there are very cute and as low as $4 for a romper . 😍😍
I've actually got 2 weeks till baby number 2 is due and I've just packed my hospital bag. I might film another video for this hospital bag it's half the size haha
Omg Sonia can’t believe it’s nearly time ! I have been following your journey from the start 💕 when I brought my babies home - I brought them home in a special white outfit and I have put them away and will give them to them when they are older and they can use them for their babies (if they wish lol ) just something so pure and special seeing a newborn in white 🤍 Also I recommend pads with wings lol - maternity pads are huge so perfect for the whole situation down there lol Anyway all the best and can’t wait to see photos and a video of your princess 💕
Aw thank you ❤ yes babies in white are too cute. I have so many outfits I really can't decide. And fingers crossed she'll come this weekend. I will deffinetly be posting heaps of videos when she's born. I hope she's nice and chubby
I adore cats. I have two family cats at my mum's they are huge. My mum treats them like actual babies. And my partner had a cat when I met him so his lives with us. His a burman names Gremlin 😅 do you have any.
@@soniaarmstrong9249 I have many cats at my moms place but after marriage last year I moved to my husbands place. I really miss my cats like my own babies!
@@soniaarmstrong9249 I actually leaked a small gush of water yesterday. I did an emergency checkup at a hospital. Then this morning I leaked more water so my Gynecologist called me back. She did an ultrasound n various blood tests n vaginal fluid swab tests to check the fluid. She said there is discharge and it could be amniotic fluid or could be something else. But she said losing fluid is dangerous for the baby as well as the mother. So she gave me an injection and various medicines including antibiotics and antifungul meds for 10 days. She said it would be normal procedure to admit me for a few days but considering the current covid Situation its better to follow all procedure at home. And to follow 10 day bed rest at home, I just need to be lying down 24/7. I can't even sit upright. I'm just so sad that first I had a subchrionic hemorrhage at 7weeks n now this!
@@myran7782 omg you poor thing. Its Gunnar suck being on bed rest but it's for your baby so it's for the best. I hope the baby is okay. How many weeks are you now
I love these videos as it reminds me soooo much of me hahaha but I packed way less than you and even then didn't use half the stuff I packed. Did you use most of it? I live in qld Australia and the hospital here provides you with most of everything you need and tell you not to use yours. I had my son in a public hospital and they provided nappies and wipes, even pads ect. And i commend you ladies that do you hair and make-up. I went it at 5.30pm with my hair in a bun and no make-up and I honestly couldn't have been bothered anyway. Hope it all went/goes well for you 😘😘
I was out of the hospital 4 hrs after I gave birth so I literally used nothing. Just some clothes cause I showered. And I gave birth in Victoria at a public hospital as well but they don't provide anything and I was told to bring everything including nappies and pads. Also I looked terrible. I was labouring in the shower at home but then needed to go hospital so I jumped out of the shower and changed into shit clothes and went in with wet hair :/ but I'm lucky i had the best birth ever. And im going to do a home birth for my next for sure. Check out my birth story video for all the details, it was text booo perfect and bubs is now 4 months already
@@soniaarmstrong9249 oh thats terrible, I feel like treatment should be the same Australia wide! We all pay the same bloody tax man! Id love a home birth but it scares me to much as at the start of my labour with my son not long after I got to the hospital his heart rate dropped dramatically! They were rushing me off for a c-section but then it started to come back up and thank god the rest of my labour went perfectly! 😍 I think ill go to hospital again next time but definitely a few things id like to do different next time. I really wanted a water birth but because I moved towns during my pregnancy I missed out on being able to have one where I am now. I still don't think ill have my hair and make-up done next time either hahaha. Glad everything went so well for you and good luck with your next 😊😊
@@sarahwedmaier216 ah that sucks you couldn't have a water birth. I wanted one too but I thought there wasnt any rooms available but apparently there was but I couldn't be bothered changing room. Haha. And yer ill probably still look like a mess next time around aswell 😅
Sonia Armstrong yes it really is! TH-cam’s a lifesaver for this kind of stuff though. I’m currently 29 weeks, so still a little while to go! I’m starting to get ideas though cause time just has been going to fast atm! You’re so close to the end, you must be so excited! Good luck with everything x
@@emmalouise7582 I'm actually 41 weeks and 3 days at the moment, waiting for her to make an appearance any moment now. And don't worry I did the same thing. I was watching heaps of videos to get ideas on what to pack. I could barely find any videos that were Australian mum so I thought my video might some other Aussie mum's out there.
Sonia Armstrong Wow fingers crossed it’s soon, you must be so ready to meet her now! I’m already getting so impatient so I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. Yesss I 100% agree! So many American ones, but the Aussie ones are less often to come by. I started my channel for similar reasons too!
@@emmalouise7582 yes that's why I made my channel too! And I know I'm so excited to meet her. Just started getting mild cramping last night so I think she'll be here in the next day or two! I will deffinetly be uploading a labour and delivery vlog
Hello! The owl soother you can get from Amazon or baby bunting and the sudocream was a sample in a pack I got from an expo. But I've seen ebay and woollies have little sizes of them. Hope that helps a little. Xx
Hello the hospital gave us a little welcome baby pack with some books and blankets. It was like a basic starter pack. But they don't provide any nappies or wipes or any personal care products for the mother. Thats in Australian public hospitals
@@soniaarmstrong9249 is it really though? My partner skipped through 20 minutes and still didn't get any use of it. Detailed would be what to bring what was useful what wasnt and when you started packing it. That's all you need.
@@jerrysmith8326 there are videos called "what I actually used in my labour bag"that would help you more. As I didn't know what I used as I hadn't had my baby yet lol.

Hi Sonia where did you buy that cute lullaby owl from please thanks
You forgot towels! Aww baby's clothes are adorable. Love the matching blanket & head band 🤩
I'm not packing towels cause it's too bulking for my suitcase but the hospital has a bunch of them I can use. My towels at home are shit anyways I think the hospital will have nicer ones 😅
So realistic what you brought and didnt over do it. Lol loved dat..new subbie
Thank you. I actually only used the slippers as I was discharge after 4 hours after giving birth
In England 4 hours is a standard time after giving birth to be sent home unless something goes wrong
I think in Australia it is one day but you only go home in 4 hours if your part of case load which is low risk pregnancies
Hehehe I'm only 16 weeks and 3 days still got a long way to go but at least I'm getting ideas on wat to pack when the time comes. Where did you buy your baby preparation here in Australia?
