Hi hun, growth scans generally are give or take a lb. Neither or mine fitted the clothes they were all baggy. But they grow into them quickly. Hospital bag basically.
A couple of pairs of pjs for you
Underwear
Maternity pads
Bras
Slippers
Dressing gown
Lip balm
Toiletries
Clothes for coming home
Mobile phone and charger
Camera?
Kindle
Drinks
Snacks
5-6 vests
5-6 sleepsuits
Outfit
Coat for coming home
Bottles, milk
Dummy
Teddys
Blankets
2-3 hats scratch mits
Wipes cotton wool balls
Pack of nappies
Infacol
Muslin clothes
Nappy cream
If you go on mother care website it tells you what to pack just increase it all. However someone could always pop missed items into you. Good luck x

Don't take the growth scan too seriously and accurately. First size normally does fine. If you've got people that can bring you stuff in as you need it, you don't need a million of everything.
Take a few vests, a few baby grows, a wadge of first size nappies, scratch mits are always handy, cotton wool, maternity pads for you, a few pairs of knickers, pj bottoms or nighties, dressing gown, slippers, maternity bra, change of clothes for going home (or get someone to bring these in for you later), shower gel, shampoo, a book/iPod/iPad something to do!!! A blanket for baby and get your car seat in once baby's born. Good luck you'll be fine!!!!

Everything above....and Haribo!!
Don't worry at all, whatever you don't have either hospital will or family can run out for.
My mum brought me Mango body butter in and it was lovely to feel all nice after the ordeal 
Enjoy.....and good luck!! xx

According to our latest growth scan all the vests I have are too big :/ will his clothes fit over them okay.
I'm going in tomorrow and leaving Mon, how much will I need?
Really lost on packing this bag, please help
How do you know you are leaving Monday?
I would say with Induction you could be out as early as Sat night/Sunday morning. Or still be there Wednesday.
Having said that you can leave stuff at home/in the car ready for your OH or other to bring in for you.
You'll need slippers, pjs, dressing gown and book/music etc to keep occupied while waiting.

Most of the above! I would also take flip flops as I personally couldn't manage to bend down to put my slippers on and the showers weren't the cleanest. Def take plenty snacks. Some carrier bags for your OH to take home dirty stuff and makes it easy to keep it away from other things.def lip balm if you are using gas and air my lips are awful after 2 days and I had about 10 mins of gas and air! Good luck x

Some bubble bath/shower gel because if your induction starts your contractions off nothing will be nicer than a warm bath/shower to help ease them.
Also shampoo, lots of underwear

Plenty of magazines/ puzzle books/ whatever you like to read - when I was induced I spent a lot of the day on my own and I was so bored!
Dark trackie bottoms to come home in and a black towel to sit on in the car in case you bleed a lot - I lived in trackies for the first week as they were the only thing I felt comfortable in
I wore fluffy socks rather than slippers as they were comfier while I was in bed and my feet were freezing!
