I'm 28 weeks today and am having bloodtests and an anti D injection this morning which I am dreading, but it will be quickly followed by a growth scan so get to see my little one again!

 

[lovehearts]

Welcome to the new ladies Nice to see more people joining us.

hubby has FINALLY started to decorate the babys bedroom today. Its been bugging me that we havnt done it as I cant do anything else until its painted. We are doing it all white with pink polka dots in the wall Im excited to make it look like a room again rather than a dumping ground for baby things

xx

 

[teacup22]

Sounds lovely, Lovehearts!
I wish we had a nursery to decorate, bit as that all our baby stuff is just dumped in our bedroom as she will be in there at least a year. We don't have the room for her to go in DSs room
Jealous!
May start packing my hospital bag today.....

 

[lovehearts]

DH txt me to say we ran out of paint So her room isnt being done now!!

Will you have to move house teacup?

When should we aim to have our hospital bags packed?

xx

 

[teacup22]

Hopefully but we rent and there is nothing around for a reasonable price with more room
Would be helpful if DSs room wasn't a loft room.... Sigh!
Probably wont be moving in the next 6 months to a year.
Erm 34-36 weeks? I just bought some maternity pads so thought if start putting a few bits in

I wasn't planning on starting my hospital bag yet, but you all have me very inspired!!! lol at my birthing class they showed us the "goodie bag" we get at the hospital and it includes the mesh undies, pads (the nurse had to sidenote, "no, this is not a diaper" bc they are HUGE) and a squirt bottle to rinse your bottom at home the weeks after giving birth. Oh the joys...

 

[lovehearts]

I hope something nice comes up in your price range soon teacup

I have written a list for my hospital bag and did buy a few things last weekend, i probably wont pack it until I have done all the washing.

Back from my anti D, my blood tests and my scan. So much for the baby being small. it is bang on for dates. Met the most wonderful midwife who really gave me a boost.

Oh man I'm stressing my upstairs is a tip... We're waiting for the funds to get our bedroom carpeted its going to cost £150 all in with fitting but we're a bit tight for money at the moment, hopefully we'll be able to afford it out of next months pay so as soon as that's done we can sort out our room and get oscars cot up ready. Ivenot done my hospital bag or washed his clothes yet, I feel like your girls are so much more prepared than me

I haven't washed baby clothes either! I'm slacking too! No worries!

 

[BubsMom17]

I feel like such a weirdo because my bag will probably be packed like a week before I start labor like last time.

I just don't put too much thought into it.

Some comfy pants, a few nursing tops, jammies, undies, socks and slippers, a pillow from home, my toothbrush and glasses/contacts... and some onesies and warm hats for baby. I pretty much pack like I am going to stay at a crappy hotel for a day or two.

Besides, if I forget something, my mom or DH or sister will be happy to run hope real quick to get whatever I need.

 

[peanutmomma]

see I have to be prepared as if I forget something I really wanted in my hospital bag I am out of luck really. DH will try to find it at home, but men suck at directions on where things are!! LOL
something I just read the other day that I might add to my bag is a pair of pj's for DH so he can be comfy as well. I have a roll of soft toilet paper in it too as I don't want to use the sandpaper stuff there

 

[gardenofedens]

they definitely do peanut! imo, it's never too early to pack the hospital bag. I did mine this week at 29 weeks. I did it last time at 28! I delivered at 36 so I definitely wouldn't wait until then but that's just me!

great news about baby's growth creative!

 

[MandaAnda]

I'm planning a home birth and have a box that I throw things into when I remember. So, my TENS machine with a spare battery is there, some aromatherapy massage oil and wax melts, cord ties... Will eventually add clothes for us both, snacks, etc.

I have been measuring weeks ahead the entire pregnancy.... but every time i had an ultrasound so far baby is right on measurement with dates +/- 2 days. So doesn't necessarily indicate a huge baby!

 

[peanutmomma]

So ready for mid October to be here and have my LO in my arms, hoping we make it to 5lbs. and she doesn't have to stay in the hospital long!! I want to see everyone's LO too. I am just so nervous today and all I can think of is how happy I will be when we all start posting about going to Hospital, in labor, etc.

Oh, I know, but I also have GD, and I have measured right on all along until now. But, I will find out tmrw as I have growth scans every 2 weeks. He was right on at my ultrasound 2 weeks ago, but those can be very wrong!
