Hospital bag

Hello ladies 🥹❤️
I know it probably seems like a silly question but any tips or suggestions/must haves for a hospital bag. I’m now 31 weeks and want to have this sorted or start to!! Any help would be appreciated as I really don’t have a clue!

Lots of maternity pants, extra clothes, nursing bra if u r planin to nurse, sprits for bits, bra pads, depending on your birth if u r planning to pump then breast pumps, thick good pads

I printed nhs list and marked it all to ensure i dont forgot anything

Bring diapers! (For you) I swear you’ll feel so much more comfy. They’ll give you the big pads at the hospital but diapers are so much better I promise. But make sure they’re a little big, not fitted like regular underwear or they cut into you and irritate you.

Have a look at the NHS packing list 😊

Bring up to 1 month size clothes as my baby came out bigger than expected and didn’t fit in any of the newborn clothes. I only had one outfit in size up to 1 month and had to get my partner to go home and ger more

Oh guys thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

A couple of things from me (C-section baby):

Disposable pants
Nightie
Electrolyte drinks

Also have an outfit to go to the hospital in ready. I was labouring in the bath and asked my partner to get me some clothes to put on so we could go and safe to say it was hilarious what I turned up to the hospital in 🤣

The only thing I wished I had packed but diddnt was a boppy pillow for feeds and uncomfortable hospital beds

A clip fan! It saved by life. Oh and a few comfort snacks.

Early scan

Heyy all

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if an early scan is worth it? Thinking about booking one for 8 weeks but £80 to see what might just be a blob doesn’t seem worth it?!

When did everyone get their nhs scans ? Were u closer to 12 or 14 weeks?

Newborns eye

My boy is 2 weeks today and has had this gunky, swollen eye for about 10 days. We bathe it constantly but it seems to be more red and swollen the past 4.

Midwife’s are aware and said to contact a GP, but others have said to continue to bathe it. Should I just contact GP?

Advice wanted!

Hi! I'm 25weeks! I just need some advice if possible, So I was out walking yesterday, I won't lie I felt like I was sitting more then I was actually walking, I kept feeling like the baby was sitting very low on my stomach and it was discomforting, is this even normal? Or does anyone know how to release the tension?

Line eyes!!!???

Am I crazy or do I see a very faint line?? I know is too early to test but I wanna see what you think

C-section mamas

When does it stop hurting to pee. I feel like I’m getting stabbed

5 weeks PP and breasts still leaking ?!

Anyone got any advice please ?
I’ve never let my boys go near my breasts and I don’t touch them but I’m still leaking!! They just don’t seem to want to dry up? I do go a day or two of nothing then suddenly they’re pouring again (one more than another) anyone got any magic fix?
