Some people put sleepsuits in one, vests in another etc but I’m going to put a full outfit in each bag. So in each bag a nappy, vest, sleepsuit, hat. Will probably take 3-4 “outfits” and then a cardigan. I’ll probably put a few muslins in another ziplock bag too

I’ve packed different outfits into my ziplock bags, including nappies and a hat for each one x

Baby clothes, baby feeding, my clothes, hygiene, snacks, entertainment…

I used this:

Last time I put in each:

Going home outfit
First outfit
Vests size newborn and up to 1 month
Baby grows size newborn and up to 1 month
Muslins

Can you share a link for the zip bags you bought? X

Packing cubes are also really useful! I bought some from amazon and they were brilliant to organise my stuff from the babies etc

Leaking waters?

I’m 35 weeks today wooo but… every morning for the past two weeks I’ve woken up with a palm sized water mark in my pants! - no smell, no pain and unaware of it happening…

I thought it might be leaking waters so got it checked out but the midwife said it was might be urine/watery discharge! - but it’s still happening.. thoughts? 💭🫶🏻

17 months

How is my baby girl already 17 months!?! She is such a happy girl, and I hope that continues throughout her life!

Pelvic girdle pain and birth

I have been experiencing awful pain. More so recently. I'm now using crutches to get around but it's more painful at night and when I lay down or sit down. I'm worried about birthing. I've got other issues and baby boy is estimating 8pounds at 36 weeks. I've been booked in for an induction 9 days prior to my due date. Surely he's going to be even bigger and I just don't feel like I've had any birth discussions in detail really. Ive only seen midwife twice and each time I've seen a consultant it's someone different. Has anyone else experienced awful pelvic pain and birthed a big baby?

Upcoming C-section.

So I’ve decided to go for an elective C-section, I know it’s the right choice after months of deliberating but I’m soooooo nervous.

I’ve had 2 very complicated births. I kinda know what to expect from the recovery as I had an emergency section with my first but I just feel nervous about being awake during it & what it feels like.. I’ve heard they strap your arms down and I’m scared of something going wrong.

I know every experience is different but if you’re happy to share what your elective was like for you (good and bad) id be very grateful. I feel really unprepared!

C-section infection

Anyone with c-section infection experience?
I’m 9 weeks pp and I’ve been battling an infection on the left hand side of the wound for 4 weeks. Now that I managed to get that side better, the other half suddenly started oozing.
I’ve been on 3 rounds of antibiotics, I’m pretty sure they are giving my baby reflux. What the hell I’m supposed to do??!! 😭

32 weeks baby weight

What has everyone’s baby weighed around 32 weeks? Just came out scan and they estimated about 4lb 11oz that normal?
