gosh.. so far i have washed what baby clothes i need to bring.. and bought little bottles of shampoo and conditioner.. thats it.. still have to organise everything else.. But i wait a few weeks cuz noa is NOT coming yet for ages

 

[zanele]

second time mommy and I have no idea what to pack! I think Ill make it up as i go along. so far Ive packed a jacket, two onesies, some lotion, shampoo, two hats, socks and a receiving blanket
​

got news on monday that my baby might be a preemie, but Im still so relaxed, is that normal by the way?

 

[naniwahine]

I've washed some of the baby clothes and the cloth nappies. One more load of baby clothes and I'm going to attempt to sort out hospital bags.

SO asked today about packing snacks now and I was like - it's not like you can pack them once I'm in labour - so I guess it's really going to be things that can keep like muesli bars? I'm also going to pack these dissolvable tablets SO has for his running, which mix up to make a lucozade type drink when mixed with water - just thinking about getting energy when not in the mood to eat.

What snacks etc is everyone else thinking of taking - for you and SO?

 

[isobel84]

i just got a feeling we are gonna be so unorganised haha.. i can see us stoping at the garage on the way to the ward and OH running out with a car magasin for him and a banana for me and a pack of size 5 nappies for Noa.

 

[evie_smith]

Lol!! You will surprise yourself bet you will be well organised!

I have other half on a diet so I'm gonna just grab some fruit for him lol they will supply us with water and in
Labour they don't let you eat in the hosp I'm going to incase you need an emergency section coz they will make u wait if you hve eaten in the last 24hrs you get well told off if caught with any food lol!

I'm hoping that bubs will arrive anytime after 37 weeks but before 40 weeks. Really don't want to go overdue.

My friend had her twins today at 32 weeks and they are both doing well but obviously will have to stay in hospital for a few weeks. I'd hate to have to leave her in hospital and go home without her.

 

[evie_smith]

Yea I would hate that as well everyday I have really
bad pains down my leggs and period cramping I'm like nooo not just yet! Lol!! My husband is very excited and on the edge of his seat at the thought of it bless him! I dont think he thinks it's all babies with breating and gestation so he is just excited x

 

[MrsR]

So far I've packed baby's hospital bag;
3 newborn all in ones
3 0-3 month all in ones
1 coming home outfit
1 coat
6 pairs of socks
disposable nappies
pack wipes
muslin squares
2 thin hats

All of this is 'just in case' going to do my bag sometime soon. Hoping not to need them as wanna have him at home but at least they'll be ready for if we need to transfer to hospital. Going to stock up on bananas when I hit early labour and will just take some with us!
As long as I have him between 37 and 40 weeks I'll be happy x not too early, not too late-around 38-39 weeks x
