I’ve got a loose nightdress for labour and a pair of button up PJs for after when I’m feeding or want to do skin to skin and a thin dressing gown

My mum said don’t bother bringing pjs for afterwards because it’ll hurt putting trousers on and bending down. So been trying to find some button nighties and a light dressing gown x

I have packed a breastfeeding top and pj bottoms to put on after he comes. I was thinking about a nightie before hand but I don't think I want to restrict or delay skin to skin contact so I've decided against it. I hope to have a water birth so will plan on wearing my bikini and a cheap cotton dressing gown I found in matalan. Don't take anything nice for pre-labour, it'll probably get blood and stuff on it anyway! X

I’ve got one loose fitting nightie and then a another set of just trousers and an oversized T-shirt. I’ve heard the wards are warm so I think I’ll be in the nightie the most but thought the option would be good

I've never been on a hospital ward that wasn't hotter than the sun. Even in the middle of winter j had a fan once. I've got for cotton shirts, shorts and longer button up nighties.

I didn’t find it hurt with my first I just took loose bottoms like a size or two bigger or maternity ones that still sat loosely around my bump. I felt exposed in anything shorter when we had visitors and my big pad was crisping around so bottoms kept everything in place. I just didn’t do tight leggings

Usually its one or two nights to spend ?

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!
