Toothbrush, some snacks maybe a comfy blanket for your man. That’s all I can think of for now lol I need ideas too due this month on the 23

For my bag, I’m packing:
-nightgown with button down for easy nursing x2
- robe and slippers
- grippy socks
- toiletries (soaps and lotions plus tooth brushes)
-emergency makeup bag 😂
- dermaplast was recommended from a friend!
- chargers one for me and him! Long cord was highly recommended
- small egg nightlight for the room
-leaving hospital outfit
-belly band

For my husband:
-a few sets of comfortable clothes
- going home outfit
-long charger
-socks and slippers
-SNACKS -highly recommended especially for smaller hospitals that don’t have food all the time
-pillow and blanket

For the baby I have his own bag of things. -few outfits to bring home baby as we aren’t sure how big baby will be.
-a little announcement sign and packed a few swaddles for pics
-burp cloths
-socks and mittens

I feel like I am slightly over packed but as a first time mom I have no idea what to expect!!

Ok thanks for all the great suggestions this really helps

Nail clippers for baby if you’re planning on breastfeeding!!! They come out SHARP

Diapers for yourself the pads they have are the worstttt maybe invest is your own peri bottle theirs also sucks ands snacks or you will literally starveee😂 also id say your own night gown bc they are gunna want full access to down there and the hospital gowns are very uncomfortable‼️

Oh and your own pillow and blanket for comfort because theirs are flat and blankets are like sandpaper‼️😂

My bag has diapers (for myself), high waisted pp underwear for over the diaper to make it less bulky, blanket, pillow, outfit to go home in, my own gown or robe works too, my own peri bottle, lots of snacks/drinks, slippers, my own shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hairbrush/toothbrush, deodorant, lotion, fuzzy socks, chargers, nursing bra/ nursing pads

For boyfriend comfy clothes, pillow/blanket, charger, snacks, toiletries, and slippers

For baby an outfit for in the hospital and an outfit to go home in his own swaddle (zip up kind), baby blanket and announcement board

This is my second first time i had wayyy to much stuff i swear this is all you need even this is doing to much‼️😂

Sorry for the spam of comments but if you only packed clothes and slippers and chargers for you baby and your man and had your carseat you would be fine they literally give you everything you need i just like my own stuff‼️

Oh I also packed shower shoes!!

Kicks at 20 weeks pregnant.

I’m 20 weeks pregnant today with my second baby, i haven’t really felt much movement in this pregnancy which is abit strange, i’ve felt the odd kick or flutter but that’s all is it normal to feel like this it. I do have a scan tomorrow to check everything is okay. last pregnancy i had scans but i’ve only had about 3 in this pregnancy as i went away for 2 week so my next one is tomorrow. just want to be reassured that everything is okay because i stress myself out all the time 😩 xx

Cramps at 5 weeks? Is that normal?

Hey girlies! I’m 5 weeks pregnant with my first and I’ve had cramps ever since I thought I was going to start my period, so it’s been around 4 weeks. The cramps can occasionally be painful. Perhaps once every two days I’ll have a cramp that lasts 10 seconds but it would be 8/10 in terms of pain, but other than that it would be between a 2/10 and a 4/10. It feels unusual because usually I’d only experience them for a week, but having them so often and for so long feels almost exhausting and draining, even though they’re not so painful. What has made me write this post is that fact that a) Google says women often times don’t experience symptoms at this stage. And b) I’ve been watching a few vlogs and I haven’t yet come across someone who has experienced cramps at this stage.. so please send across some advice or reassurance, it would be much appreciated 🥰

Post spinal headache

Hi I have had a section 5 days ago and been having awful headache that won’t go away the symptoms are steering towards a small leakage when having the spinal .. has anyone experienced this before and went away on its own ? Or was a blood patch needed ?
