You’ve already done much better than me. Packing of any sort is always my kryptonite

That’s what I have too! My mum said to me and my husband to take your fave tea/coffee sachets and squash with you and cereal bars, things that are like a treat for you too! Me and my husband went to B&m and just got all our fave snacks to keep in the car😂

Oooh also a water bottle with a straw! So your partner can just hold it up to you and you can sip out of it super easy or grab it yourself etc ( this has been recommended to me by a few women) xx

Also I’m on mat leave so often just in pj/ lounge clothes around the house so I have a outfit ready to go to the hospital in too lol

hey like the person above said maybe make a snack box and keep in the back of the car incase you have to stay longer and need some snacks otherwise looks amazing! xx

6 months post partum symptom?

So not sure if this is normal and this is so embarrassing for me to talk about but every time I go toilet to do number 2 there’s always blood. Is this normal?

Waters broke

39 weeks and after having false contractions and braxton hicks for the last week, my waters broke and don’t really feel any kind of tightening anymore. Baby is moving fine just feels strange to be leaking everywhere.
Everyone said it would be like trickling but it’s a lot of gushes that I wasn’t expecting. Is this normal for most?

Contractions?

Feeling pressure in my pelvis that comes in and out i am 35 weeks and not sure if they are just Braxton hicks

Braxton hicks pains

Hey all, can someone please explain to me what Brixton hicks feel like/felt like to you? I never experienced them with my first, and I’ve never experienced menstrual cramping, as I’ve had people try compare it to that.

I just felt pain that shot all around the lower and upper section of my bump and round to my back, made me throw up in pain…idk if that is a Brixton hock or something else.

I also never went into labour with my first child either…

19 week old not rolling tummy to back or back to tummy

Anyone else? He’s not even attempting it.

Baby girl names

We’ve just found out we’re having a girl 💕 but really struggling with names, my first is Ellie … this time I like things like Margot, Orla, Sofia, Lottie, Sienna … can anyone think of any names that are slightly different but nothing too complicated?!
