Lip balm during labour?

Hey all. So many people have told me that I should definitely pack lip balm in my hospital bag because of the warmth and getting dehydrated.

But I've also read that you can't use most lip balms with gas and air because of the ingredients (usually petroleum jelly etc).

So does anybody have recommendations for safe lip balms to use, or is it a total no go?

VBAC after 2 c sections

Hi everyone. My daughter is 13 months old and I have her via c section last August due to failure to progress. Everything else was fine apart from that. My son is 10 and I had a c section with him too. I want to start trying for another baby next year and would really love to hear if anyone had any positive stories about a vbac after 2 c sections x

Munchkin Bottle

Feeling very guilty that I didn’t realise sooner!
That my munchkin cup was mouldy😭
I wash with warm soapy water etc but it has gone awful!!!

Reminder to everyone to check with cups with seals like this🥴

Big baby

I’ve just had a growth scan at 36+3 and baby is currently weighing 8lbs 1oz.
I have a consultation appointment tomorrow to discuss further. My first was born at 39+3 and weighed 8lbs 3oz (I was induced) so I’m quite shocked at nearly 3 and a half weeks to go he’s so big. Did anyone else have something similar to this and how did it work out?

Morning C-section

Last time I was an afternoon elective C-S, went in for 2pm and baby born at 5pm. This time I have to be there for 7 30 am
What time did your c-s end up happening if you had a morning elective? I know it can vary but still curious if there's an average 🤔
