Literally did mine this week and just packing them this evening. I'm 32+5 and want to have the full bag packed in time for 34 weeks so it's done.
I'd say you can start now!

I washed all of mine when I had enough to wash. At around 28 weeks. Then had 3 wash loads 🤦‍♀️ I stored them all under the bed before hanging them up just recently

Im 32 weeks on monday and all my 0-3 and blankets etc are washed and away. I done it when the weather was nice so it dried fast ☺️

@Hannah just a non bio. Loads of people seem to be using branded stuff but I've just used my Tesco own non bio

31 weeks and have done mine this week, although I really wish I’d done it when we had the sunshine ☀️ 😅

I’m 33 weeks and I did mine a couple of weeks ago when we had the nice weather, did 3 big loads and it took me days to get them all sorted and back away in draws so I’d start soon🙈 x

@Shannon I think it's suggested you should have your bag ready by about week 34 so you're all done *just* in case baby makes a 37 week appearance

I’m 33+1 and I’m going to do mine this week, I keep putting it off thinking it’s too early but having been unwell and had an early labour scare i think it’s made me feel unprepared so when I start to feel better hopefully this week I’ll get mine all washed and sorted and put away

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
