I’m taking my hand held fan with me but feel like packing my massive fan at this point😂😩x

I took a handheld fan but they had a Dyson fan in the room so all was good 😂 but that might just be my hospital

I bought a clip on, USB charged pram fan and took that to hospital. I didn't want to be faffed with having to hold a fan while trying to push on my hands and knees and I was right.
Also handy for my toddler just now.

I am taking my toddler’s pram fan to the hospital x

Newham Hospital definitely did not have fans when I was on the postnatal ward Tuesday/Wednesday. I had a cheap crappy usb desk fan but I was happy to be able to run it (from the little tray/table next to every bed) even when trying to sleep. Would recommend something you can run close to you handfree

Bring the big fan, it’s so needed. We brought tall one and a handheld and everyone said how jealous they were. It was a sweat box x

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?
