I was the same! A lot we already had and just needed to get out of the loft:

For baby - Next 2 Me, bouncer, floor play mat, nappies/wipes/changing mat/cream, feeding stuff if you need (turned out to exclusively BF so nothing needed here), clothes, carrier, bath seat, clothes storage, 2nd baby monitor, 2nd Hatch light/sound machine

For toddler - a toy ‘from baby’, new booster seat for dinner table (sometime before baby starts using the high chair), new car seat

General - double buggy, highly recommend the Baby City Jogger!

A really comfortable carrier. Extra bouncer/s around the house and bassinet for the living room. Rattles/toys with each location.
My youngest is 12w now, and it's helpful to wear her or have somewhere safe to put her down in each room, so I can give my toddler some attention/lift her in and out of the high chair/into the bath/on and off the loo xx

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
