Hospital bag

I'm 29+3 weeks. When us the best time to get my hospital bag ready? Not sure if I'll be having a section due to placenta previa, either way I do like to be organised xx

I’m 30 week tomororw I will be doing my hospital bag when I’m around 33/34 weeks just in case I’m due earlier personally a bit too early as I’ve only just hit my third trimester

There was a study done which shows birth by birth week:
10% gave birth by 38 weeks and 5 days after the LMP

25% gave birth by 39 weeks and 5 days after the LMP

50% gave birth by 40 weeks and 5 days after the LMP

75% gave birth by 41 weeks and 2 days after the LMP

90% gave birth by 44 weeks and zero days after the LMP

Although it's worth noting that if your family has a history of early term births, you'll probably be early as well.

I'm gonna do mine around week 35.

I’m doing mine as I go. I’m 30 weeks but just want to be prepared. I’d rather be over prepared than not, then if I do go into labor early I can just grab it and go xx

i’ve packed a lot of it up & im 31 weeks + 1 today. it’s more due to the fact that i’m very scatterbrained so i like to get things packed early so i can add as i remember something.

I'm 29 weeks and baby stuff is done, just cos I washed a lot of it and had it ready so packed it out the way.
My bits I've just been adding to a holdall bag as I get them but will have it all ready by 32 I think.
I'm having a schedule c section between 38-39 weeks, but have had an overnight stay and growth scans every two weeks, with the potential for baby to come earlier so want to be ready.

I'm 31 weeks tomorrow and I've started doing my hospital bag to be ready for anything. I was induced with my 1st and had nothing prepared and hubby had to keep going out to get things

I’m 30 weeks and starting mine now then seeing what I need and will just pick bits up as and when I’m out and about. Plan to have the baby’s bits packs like milk starter pack and things like that by 35 weeks just incase x

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
