last minute things

I’m 39 weeks and almost 3 days. I am just now starting to pack my hospital bag tonight lol 😂😂. I’m so last minute but I figured he wasn’t gone come early so I guess it worked out for me.

i’m 40 weeks today and i just finished mine 😂

Comfy pajamas with button front tops, socks (I brought my own grippy ones 10/10 recommend), slippers, nursing/pumping bras, something comfy to go home in, a robe, shower shoes (crocs/flipflops), A TOWEL (I didn’t bring one and I regret it), your own blanket/pillow for recovery. Toiletries!!! Having your own skin and haircare makes a HUGE difference. Have a little pouch bedside during labor & recovery with chapstick, nipple butter/silverettes, gum, hydrogel pads, hair ties/clip, and anything else little you might need right away! A portable fan, folder for documents, and a waterbottle (I chugged SO much water during labor) I’m probably missing things but this is what I could remember off the top of my head! Good luck mama!!!🤍

Newborn Trenches

I’m only 2 days postpartum and I held my baby crying at 4am because my anxiety is killing me! Everything worries me and I just wanna be the best mom that I can be. What’s some advice or tips you wish you knew in the first few weeks when you had your baby?

Pressure - not quite 37 weeks!

I’m due my third (I’ll be 37 weeks on Tuesday) and I was induced around 40 weeks with both of my children. I’ve been to triage today for RFM but she was absolutely fine! And she has since been SUPER active.

But this evening I’ve got a pressure/weight/bruised feeling right along my knicker line, at the bottom of my bump. It’s noticeably stronger when standing or sitting upright.

Any ideas?

Anxiety and negative thoughts

This is going to sound so bad. But I’m not even excited about the pregnancy anymore. Please don’t judge me

I could use someone to talk to 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭

How is everyone coping in the “could it be today?” Phase?!

I’m 38+1 and have now been on maternity leave for the last week - nesting is taking up most of my time but when I’m trying to relax, all I’m thinking is “omg what if I go into labour today” anyone else?! 🤣
