Message me and I can send you a wee list if that helps also I'm due in December

So I'm going to take 1 pack of size 1 nappies. a mix of sizes but mostly newborn size clothes, but will have like one or two first size and 0-3 just incase! So like take a few vests, a few baby grows, and going home outfits! X2 hats, a blanket and scratch mitts. that's all they will really need from what I've read.
write a little check list to keep it from becoming overwhelming. Then you can just tick as you go ☺️

i’m due december and i’m taking enough nappies for 2 days just incase we’re there longer due to complications and same for grows i’ve got 6 grows and three outfits just in case haha, ive got nappies in size 1 as they go from 4lb to 11lb which usually covers every baby unless they come out huge😅they don’t need loads more than that i think you’ll find you’ll pack loads of bits for them and they won’t need it, im taking wipes, some baby coconut oil and a couple cute hats extra to the above and that’s it xx

i’m packing 5 nappies as they will usually wet maybe 2-3 in the first 48 hours so a couple extra just to be safe xx

I may have missed a couple of things but these are what are already in mine 🤗
I woke up the other night with extreme cramp in my calf, it eased after a while but I can still feel it a few days later. My calf just feels so tight.
Anyone else experience this? And what can I do to help?

I just had my 6 week check for me and baby, Is it normal for them not to see ur c section scar? It was a very quick appointment for me where they asked if my mood was okay and if I wanted contraception. I’m just guessing that I’m now able to get a bath, lightly exercise ect…

Was feeling very smug as baby’s been sitting beautifully head down from 28 weeks, right in the pelvis… had an appointment this morning at 34 weeks and she’s turned breech! I could already tell as I felt the head high up, and the kicking has felt different. Has this happened to anybody else, and did babe turn back again? I was hoping for a VBAC, but I draw the line at a breech VBAC 😅

Has anyone else got a seriously stubborn bubba who seems to have absolutely NO intention of making an appearance? 😂😭
I’m 40+6, 3cm dilated, had 3 sweeps, lost A LOT of mucus, and had 3 evenings of contractions after my second sweep… only for everything to completely stop and NOTHING since! 🫠
Now I’ve got an induction booked for Monday, so it looks like our October baby girl might just become a November baby girl! 🍂🤎
At this point, I think she’s far too comfy in there… but Mumma has officially had ENOUGH! 😂🤰🏼

Me and my husband are struggling to agree on a baby name!! It’s driving me insane. We agreed on one which I love and now he’s saying he doesn’t like it?!!!
