Made In Chelsea's Millie Mackintosh has started preparing to meet her baby girl by packing her hospital bag , and it's surprisingly down to earth.

She shared the contents of her hospital bag with her followers on IGTV over the weekend, and we're completely coveting the sweet babygros and swaddle blankets.

She's due to welcome a baby girl with husband and fellow MIC alumni Hugo Taylor in just seven weeks.

In the video she runs through what she's packing for the baby and herself, from essentials like maternity pads and nappies to an essential oil diffuser to keep herself relaxed.

If you're a mum-to-be and want to browse her bag and where to buy what Millie is packing (or you just fancy a nice new diffuser) , check out our guide to her hospital bag essentials below.

Millie admitted in a candid Instagram post that she had anxiety about becoming a first-time-mum during the coronavirus outbreak. “With a little under 8 weeks to go until our daughter is due to arrive, the situation the world finds itself in with Coronavirus is very much a concern.

“Even though I’m fully aware that worrying gets you nowhere, it’s understandable to be anxious about my baby arriving during this time, our natural instinct is to protect!”

Millie continued: “The final pregnancy stretch brings with it a whole wave of emotions and as I’m trying to get into nesting mode, the world around me is in panic mode!
