I wore a black nightie

Avatar

I am wondering the same, I have one of those Oodie sleep Tees at the moment and thinking of getting a black one. I’m just not sure if it will too much fabric and get in the way

Avatar

I just had on a nursing bra for my first (water birth) and then a loose fitting nightie for my second

Nothing for my first, it was way too hot. For my second I wore a really thin button down shirt, it was meant to be a beach cover-up thing.

I had a hospital gown on as I was getting oily back massages and it was just easier than have my bum out all the time 🙈😂

Just a loose fitting tshirt.. I didn't have time to get changed - or take it off 🤣

I gave birth in a sleep crop top from primark, was originally in a black nightie, but put on the little top when I had an epidural.

I had a black nightie planned (big tshirt kind) but when it came to it I was butt naked after using the shower as pain relief 😂 home birth

I started in a sports bra and dress (Baby came unexpectedly & v quickly) but a couple hours in I stripped off and was completely nude 😂
It was a very hot day and I was dripping in sweat

I think I just had a gym top

I was naked 😅 clothing irritated me! I planned to wear a button down nightie

I gave birth on my nursing bra, I was intending to have a water birth but the baby came too quickly and wasn’t able to

My first 3 my own clothes
My last 2 hospital grown
My last 2 I had no choice but to wear the hospital gown
Luckily I did with my 5th as my post delivery bleeding kept going on the grown

My pj top so that it could be easily unbuttoned for skin to skin. Was originally a button up nightie but I didn’t have time to actually change into it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

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.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

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!

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
