I saw it and wanted to cry too!! My c section is for the Tuesday 😭😭😭

I heard about this on the ward yesterday 😩 I didn't know some decent weather could make me panic so much! Im hopefully having baby girl today but our house will be around 30 degrees.

Im hoping your ward is like mine, there are fans fitted to the wall in each person's bay!

Get a little but powerful fan! And the second u go on the ward ask for a fan 😅
Labour wards r typically air conditioned so should be fine but the postnatal wards aren’t the nicest. It’s was 28 when I had my boys and my little fan plus a hospital fan honestly saved us! Don’t get me wrong it was still pretty rough in those bays but there was other mums in there with no fan / didn’t ask for one and they was moaning to their partners like crazy 🤦🏼‍♀️

you’ve got to be kidding me😭 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh ffs this has ruined my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Am I being unreasonable?

I went to triage today with some spotting - they didn’t find a cause but as a ‘by product’ found that my fundal height had gone down and was now 4cm below where it should be (was previously tracking bang on). I’ve been referred for a growth scan and my husband doesn’t want to come as he will have to rearrange lessons (he’s a teacher). He was off for a day last week as he was ill so has already got to catch up on some lessons this week. I feel like he should want to come, but I’m not sure if it’s just anxiety and hormones talking.

Aching

My baby was born via section in January since I’ve has painful achy joints especially my knees first thing on a morning. I mentioned it at my 6-8 week check and they said it was normal. I feel like I ache everywhere everyday. Has anybody else experienced this?

What do you do if you find out you are pregnant but you don't want to be?

I am scared of taking a test because I don't want it to be true if I am I don't want it can I give this baby for adoption if I'm married without my spouse knowing?

Line eyes?

I see two lines my husband said he don’t.
Opinions?

Hospital Bag

First time mum, 27 weeks along and starting to feel overwhelmed with all of the things I still need to do!

How crazy would it be to pack my hospital bag now? I'm hoping I won't need it for a good while yet obviously but I think it will just help with my mental load knowing its done. I basically have 90% of the stuff that needs to go in there and can just add toiletries etc at a more appropriate time.

To add in case people think I'm insane for wanting to do it so early lol - I have ADHD and its just constantly playing on my mind and not freeing up mindspace to concentrate on things I should actually be doing right now!
