Hi all; I’m due to have a C section at RUH Bath in 2 weeks and my husband is very worried about scrubs fitting - he is approx 4XL. Any tips especially from RUh but other hospitals helpful, thanks.

Could u ring the maternity ward/theatre team before your C section and let them know, They might be able to check what sizes they have and arrange something suitable in advance rather than you both worrying on the day?

My partner's the same but they found him a theatre gown to wear instead (not RUH Bath though)

Had the same with my husband, the disposable ones were no where near fitting but they gave him a pair of staff scrub trousers and a gown for the top.
Id suggest giving the hospital a call in advance, they will have options but best to give them a heads up to save any worry the day of ☺️
(This was birmingham womens but im sure your hospital will be the same!)

Not the same hospital but at ours we weren’t given a choice of sizing. My partner was just given some to wear. As others have said, I would give the maternity department a call or speak to your midwife at your next appointment
Hoe to survive the newborn stage?

Can real labour contractions just start close together instead of being far apart and at inconsistent times to start then getting close???
I’m 37 +2 and I’ve had braxton hicks for weeks but just started having contractions about 20 minutes ago I’ve had 5 so far and haven’t timed them as of but they are a lot more intense and low down and I need to breathe through them. I’ve had no waters break idk if I’m just overthinking

My little baby boy was meant to be due on the 30th October but he decided yesterday at 11:14am that he wanted to make an appearance.

So it would appear it was time for our little girl to make her appearance on the 1st October at 2205, only a week early but perfectly healthy and happy now home in the comfort of my own bed to recover ❤️

Obviously I know it’s whenever I feel ready but I had an episiotomy and a 3rd degree tear so when am I okay to even try anything, not even the full thing?
