36 weeks today. 😬
Packing my hospital bag this week.
Got a lot of basics sorted, just wondering if there’s anything in particular people recommend?

Bibs!!!!! No list ever told me to pack them, and we went through sleepsuits so quick as he would make a mess or be sick😅 we had to stay in, so I guess if you can go home you’ll be ok, but in the first 24 hours we ran out of clothes so I had to send my husband home

If you take anything special, label it, I had a special muslin that got bundled up in a bed change and lost, gutted!
Wish I’d taken baby nail clippers or a sleep suit with built in mitts as baby scratched their face badly after shaking off mitts.
Hadn’t planned on using a dummy but had a free one I packed last min and baby loved it.
Hat for baby going home in but they’ll give you one if not.
Disposable inco pants from Aldi.
Extra clothes/snacks/toothbrush for birthing partner in case it goes on a bit.
Sports cap type bottle you can sip from laying down.

Reiterate what others have said. I had a c section so your list may vary and also if you end up staying over night but I would definitely also take a pillow, eye mask, a bag for dirty clothes (yours and the baby’s), pads, disposable pants (high waisted if you are having a c section), nappy’s, ready made formula bottles for the baby, body wipes and laxatives (fybogel or lactulose). Also peppermint capsules and peppermint tea also help get things moving. Also maybe TMI but you may want to pick hemerroid cream… I was fine all pregnancy then got to week 38 and boyyy that’s how I knew my anesthesia was wearing off post c section I could feel them again 😂
 
Moved into the 12-18 week bracket 😊
First scan next week and if all goes well I will be able to relax a bit.

Sickness isn't getting any better, if anything it seems worse 🤢

More baby clothes than you think. My little boy threw up a lot in the first few hours just because the swallow a lot of fluid/mucus and general crap. He went through all of his outfits very quickly 🙈
 
Went for a midwife apt today. I’m 28 weeks and baby is already almost measuring full term 😂

No wonder I feel so tired - my bump is ridiculously large. I have to go for an extra scan to check everything is ok (I’m sure it is).

Having a very tall husband is all fun and games until you have to bear their ginormous offspring. My first son was also massive.

Please pray for me… my pelvis feels like it might collapse and I barely have the energy to brush my teeth.

Moved up on the poll, feeling very real now. 20+2 today and we’ve just ordered all the rest of the ‘big’ things like nursery furniture, next to me etc. Can’t believe we’re half way. It seems like only a few weeks ago we did a test just incase because I had been feeling off for a couple of days. Mad.
