Since we found out the lovely Mrs Hinch was expecting a second baby, we've loved following her pregnancy journey. It won't be long now until the Hinch's welcome their newest addition, so Sophie has shared what's in her hospital bag ahead of the birth.

If you want to shop Mrs Hinch's hospital bag essentials, we've rounded up everything she included for you to shop now.

We love this overnight bag Mrs Hinch has chosen to keep her new baby's things in for the hospital. It comes with a little pouch for any smaller items you might need and you can also fold the bag inside the small pouch. Best of all, it's all wipe clean and water resistant!

We love the fact that Mrs Hinch is choosing to use the same blue beanie she used for Ronnie with her new baby. Although we can't find the exact one, we love this gorgeous dusty blue coloured hat that's ideal for keeping little heads warm.

Shoe bags

Sophie uses these to separate and organise her baby's essentials in the big bag, from the baby sleep suits and vests, to the outfit baby will be leaving the hospital in. We love that these are transparent at the bottom so it's clear to see what's in each bag.

You never know how chilly it's going to be or what time you'll be leaving the hospital so it's a good idea to take a nice cardigan for your baby to help them stay warm. We love this cream one from Zara baby as it will go with just about any outfit.

You'll be thankful in the hospital if you've taken the time to label all your different bags and baby's belongings. Mrs Hinch loves this Dymo label maker, and we can see why.

This solid wooden hairbrush with bamboo bristles comes in a lovely little linen bag and is perfect for baby's soft little hairs.

These foldable changing mats are great for taking in the hospital with you and they'll also come in handy well into baby's first year too, especially if you like to travel a lot.
