Hospital bag

I'm having my second baby at the end of the month and my first baby was an emergency c section. This time I'm doing scheduled c section. Any ideas what to pack specifically for a scheduled c section?

I just packed a cabin suitcase with some comfy open fronted PJs for me, flip flops, big cotton full brief knickers, maternity pads, toiletries and a long phone charger. I also arrived in my going home outfit to save packing.

I found a fan handy as I get home every time the meds wear off and I had an iPad to read on as there’s lots of waiting around.

Until your catheter is out and you’ve showered, you’ll be in their gown so there’s a whole day less to pack for.

Peppermint chewing gum .. helps with trapped gases ....
Comfy nighty or pjs ...
Lucozade if you like it ...
Snacks has u will want to eat afterwards....they give toast after and its the best toast ever haha 😄...
Disposable large pants ....
Large maternity pads...
Long charger ...
Toiletries just in case (I didn't shower in hospital was out 24 hours later )..

Gum - seriously helps
Ear plugs - the post ward is super loud

Is this a good enough reason to consider doing a weight loss pill?

I am a big emotional eater/bored eater. I hate it and Ive tried so much... No matter what anytime I'm bored or sad I can't stop myself.all I think about is food and no matter what or how much I eat I always want more until I literally get sick...Do you think that's a good enough reason to go on weight loss pills?

Stretch and Sweep

Hi girls!
I am 41 weeks and I am booked in for a membrane sweep this morning. For the past 3 weeks I have been in false labour and have lost my mucus plug around 5 times.

How many of you have had successful sweeps please?

I feel like I am trying everything and baby girl is just too comfy haha

Bright yellow

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow and when I’m going for a wee I’m wiping and it’s bright yellow, I’ve got no irritation or smell is this common?

Name spelling

I’m due a second little boy in July! My husband and I have decided on a name but we are unsure on spelling as there are 2 variations. It is not a common first name and I am UK based where it is more commonly a surname. In the UK it is more commonly spelled Callaghan with the G which is silent and has Irish roots. However, as a first name it is used more frequently in America spelled Callahan. Opinions on with or without the G?
