Awww hopenu get ur leg sorted hun!

And this sodding HB lol! I think its going to be the Bane of my life honestly lol!!

 

[Emmam1982]

Mine too lol...mine will change again next month as my income will go up when smp starts as they've calculated it on sick-then again when Logan's born and again when I go back to work.
I'm booked in to see the doctor in the morning as she only had emergency appts left...she spoke to a doctor and they think it's positional but I'm hoping il get some pain killers x

 

[jenni16]

Sounds like you've had a right nightmare with all this housing benefit stuff! Hope they sort it soon for you.

Hope the doctor can give you something to ease the pain Emma, sounds pretty grim

I've just packed baby's bag ready for hospital, it seems far too empty! Don't think I've forgotten anything, we're only 5 mins from shops and 10 mins from home so it's not a big problem if I've missed something really.
Xx

Ive defo packed alot less this time around jen.

For me on Noah i literally took the same case i use to pack 20kg for holidays lmao!
And bag for Noah! Abd i only live 5-10mins away too!

This time ive got 2 small bags. Obv hoping for a homebirth anyway but ive packed literally enough for overnight incase i have to go in xx

 

[jenni16]

Makes me wonder what rubbish I put in last time?! Lol I ended up getting the in-laws to bring in extra too so god knows how much we ended up taking back home ��


I've literally put in enough for labour and a change of comfy clothes/pjs for after, and I'll put another change of decent-ish clothes to come home in too eventually. I'm also taking towels, I remember the hospital ones being rubbish lol I won't mind for the first shower straight after, but if I have another before going home I'll need my own fluffy towels, might aswell take them as I've got the room


I've got changing bag with baby's things, a teeny tiny suitcase with my stuff, and I'll probably end up with a rucksack of labour bits - snacks, Chargers and other last minute bits. Oh and maybe a change of clothes for OH in there too that he can keep in his car.

 

[babyslog]

Yeah ive packed 1 big towel and one for my hair too.! I think i packed 2 last time and even one for OH cos in midwifery led unit he would of been allowed to stay after birth for the night lol (but i ended up in consultant half way through labour anyway lol)..
I think i packed enough stuff for days worth for myself! So many bloody sleepsuits for Noah too lmao!
Nappies out my ears! Ridic hahaha!!!

 

[Emmam1982]

I've packed a big towel for me but although I've packed shampoo and conditioner I'm hoping not to have to wash my hair cos it's so long and thick that it takes hours to dry naturally.
I've just packed the same as if I was going away for a weekend (without the heels and excessive make up lol) X

 

[jenni16]

I've still got all the mini toiletries that I brought last time, hoping the deodorant doesn't run out half way through spraying �� haha.
I don't think I bothered washing my hair either, it takes far too long to dry and just looks a mess without straighteners which I'm not taking! Xx

 

[babyslog]

I washed mine after birth but only cos it was half wet from waterbirth and i was mega mega mega sweaty m. but shoved it up ina bobble and re did the bobble the next day before leaving.
Ive bought a little can of dry shampoo this time tho sonill use that if its not to bad.

But ideally ill be having a nice quick shower in my own shower and getting into my own bed lol!!! FX ay!

 

[Emmam1982]

Ooooh that reminds me-I need to buy some dry shampoo, want to have some in for the early weeks where I might not get time to wash my hair as much as I'd like x

 

[babyslog]

Aw god we r guna go bk to having a shower with a baby in a bouncer watching lol!

Although i dnt get any privacy now! Cant even poo in piece hahaha

 

[Emmam1982]

I've got 3 toilets but my 5 year old still chooses to go for a poo in the main bathroom everytime I get in the bath lol x

 

[babyslog]

Hahahaha

 

[Jojo84]

I ended back at the hospital again yesterday with reduces movement, strong contractions and a general feeling of uneasiness... Turns out I'm now 2-3ck dilated which is ok for now but they're not sure if I will make my section date or not. My contractions are strong and don't walkways go away so I've been told to keep an eye on things and go back if they are more intense or form a pattern.

I should probably pack my bag at some point but haven't as of yet. I'm not packing a towel for my hair because I don't intend to wash it (having a c-sec) I hope to be home in 24hra so hopefully won't need a lot

 

[babyslog]

Aw christ!!! Looks like ull be april hun!!!!! Xx

 

[jenni16]

Oh wow! Sounds like you definitely need to get a bag packed, and soon! Good luck xxx

 

[Jojo84]

I have no cot up, no baby clothes washed, no mattress for
My cot, no baby bath brought from
Loft or Moses basket lol.... I'm so prepared haha

I've just been proving to hubby we can fit two prams and a trike in our hallway... I love being right buthmligaments and spine do not!

 

[jenni16]

You'd best get cracking Jojo! Just be careful you don't do too much and really bring labour on, order hubby around while you can lol. Good luck. Xxx

 

[Jojo84]

Hubby does what he can but he works every evening so teatime, bath time, bedtime is all me. Was up all night with painful contractions and acid drinking 4pints of milk a day!

 

[Emmam1982]
