Bag for hospital

Ok so I know I’m a little early but my mind likes to be very organised πŸ˜‚ what sort of bag are you planning on taking to hospital with you? Last time I think I took a large suitcase and I ended up using hardly anything! Do I take a small suitcase for baby and then a little bag of bits for me? Or do I just take the suitcase again?

I just took a small suitcase last time and was enough for me and baby
I had to stay in for 2 days too
Hoping this time I can come home quicker πŸ˜… but I am only 10 mins from the hospital x

It is never too early to start packing the hospital bag. I've been prepping mine since my first scan.

I'm going to take a small case, one side for me, other side for baby, and a tote style bag with some labour bits in. That's what I did last time and it worked really well xx

We took my husband's manky well used sports gym bag last time πŸ˜… I don't think I used much of the stuff but I can't even really remember. I might take a small suitcase because it's probably a bit more compact and easier to organise

2nd pregnancy symptoms

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby, I know I'm still very early but I have no symptoms as of yet but with my first i already had nausea, sickness, tiredness and food aversions by this stage.
Has anyone experienced similar with multiple pregnancies? Could I possibly have completely different / no major symptoms in comparison with my first pregnancy?

Elective c section?

Can anyone share their experience of an elective c section please?

Good or bad, I’m really torn on whether to go for one or try a natural birth. I have a few medical complications which make me think it may be the better option overall, but I’ve been told I can still try for a natural birth if I want, I just can’t decide what is best!

Bleeding between periods

Has anyone had bleeding about 10 days before your period? Mine started like brown discharge then maroon and then now is bright red drops of blood intermittently. I am due a colposcopy soon. I am almost two years post partum.
