Lucozade

I have exams coming up and I’m so tired being 23 weeks pregnant that I’ve been having lucozade. I’ve now read we shouldn’t have them, but it doesn’t say on the bottle that it’s not recommended for pregnant women. Can someone tell me if I’m OK to drink these? Already had a few over last few months as I have been avoiding energy drinks so worrying now.

It's the caffeine content I think I'd the main concern for the Lucozade. I would just make sure your under the recommended limit

Lucozade sport is what you want for an exam, not fizzy onesx

I drank these even in my first trimester it was the only thing I could keep down as long as your not having lots you be alright swear it changes all the time what you can and cannot have with them being fizzy they might start to give you heart burn but as long as your getting fluids down I use to have one a day because I started feeling I was getting dehydrated and with it being the only thing I could keep down you will be alright I promise it’s not like it’s alcohol some people drink alcohol and smoke so I was like so why can’t a treat my self to a lucozade

I literally LIVED on the pink one my whole trimester this pregnancy and my last, literally the only thing i could stomach and it gave me a little energy boost as well.
I never got told no so id say you will be fine.

I would drink anything like monster etc though.

I had a few during my pregnancy and I thought the same at the time. It doesn't sat anywhere on the bottle that it's not suitable. I avoided the "Hardcore" energy drinks. And like I said only had a handful of Lucozades. Everything was fine.

I think the sports ones are better in pregnancy because they’re caffeine free x

Hospital bag checklist ✨

I feel like a lot of us have been discussing this for a while so I’ve pieced together what we’ve all said (water birth, c section mamas might need more). Other 2 x screenshots in the comments. If anyone spots anything missing feel free to add below ⬇️

christening/naming ceremony

did anyone have a christening or naming ceremony for their little one? what would you recommend? my boy is 2 months old so i’m not thinking right this second but i want to do something for him. i was baptised as a baby although i don’t follow a religion as of current. it will be my family and friends attending as the father isn’t involved, but that still adds up to a pretty decent turn out. what was everyone’s experiences? tell me everything!

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?

Did any mamas get nails done before c section?

Reading mixed things online saying that we can’t get them done bc the pulse reader? Just wanting to see if they actually really care x

Breech or Head down

How can I tell if my baby is still breech? At 31 weeks she was completely breech and I’m unsure on how to tell if she’s flipped head down or not?
