Strange advice - true or false?

Morning!

I had a scan last week and was told not to lotion my bump 3 days before the scan as it will make it hard to get good quality pictures. I personally have never ever heard this before and just wondered if anyone else had? Kind of wanna lotion my bump, kind of don’t want to walk around with a dry bump either 🤣

Anti-d mommas

Did you have the anti d injection before and after birth? Just asking as I’m rhesus negative so I had the injection during pregnancy but didn’t have it when my little one was born does anyone have any similar experiences?

Pain relief at home

Does anyone have any ideas for at home pain relief? I’m having painful contractions about 3-5 mins apart, hospital sent me home. I’ve tried bath and paracetamol but it’s had no effect. I’m currently operating on 0 hours sleep as I can’t settle through the pain 😭

Hospital Bag

I’ve been watching loads of tiktoks of people packing their hospital bags and nearly everyone packs shampoo and conditioner

Who on earth is having a baby and then going for a hair wash?? Do i need to pack them? Did you wash your hair in hospital? Did you also take a hairdryer?
