I really wish I had not done that, mine is 44 inches and I was a small UK10 pre-pregnancy.

I have everything left to buy. We still only have half the nappies and clothes we need. I am not sure we will buy much more in newborns size in case it doesn't get used. DS1 was 6lbs 14oz so newborn got enough use but I keep thinking DS2 is going to be massive.
 
So far then....

Zfbaby – 47 Inches (Size ... pre preg)
Pebble – 46 Inches (Size ... Pre Preg)
Char – 45 Inchs (Size 12 pre preg)
Omi – 44 Inches (size 10 pre preg)
Clh – NEEDS TO FINISH WORK! Lol

Are you doing your size on top or bottom ? I was a size 12 bottoms pre preg but 8/10 on top, I have wide hips, semi flat stomach kind of figure so thats why theres so much difference! ...

Omi – I bet hes not massive, Faith was 8lbs 1oz and i got some good use out of Newborn! ... Im hoping this one is smaller though as I have;

Yeah looks like i was the biggest pre-pregnancy so thats ok. I dint actually seem to have put much weight on other than my bump as most of my stuff still fits other than around the middle lol. I have just bought the most comfy maternity trousers ever from newlook though. Super soft and lightweight. I was getting them for my hospital bag but now I may never take them off. :)
How many bags are we all taking to the hospital? I have a hold all with my stuff in it, my changing bag which I've also put baby bits in and a
Small rucksack for dh with stuff for him. I'm not sure what sort of quantities of everything we will need?

I get confused with all ye different sizings. I thought newborn, first size and up to 1mnth was all the same size ????
I'm hoping that baby will be smaller than originally thought as every other midwife has been measuring me bang on its just my usual midwife that measures me ahead and apparently she's always extra generous with measuring. Fingers crossed he won't be as big as dh and go straight into 0-3. I have loads of vests and sleepsuits in a mix of newborn and first size.
 
I was a 8-10 on top and bottom but went up to a 10 just before getting pregnant. However my chest was bigger that those sizes so it was always a bit of an issue finding the right style of top to fit. I am not a size 12 maternity and I am really filling that size out now.

DH was looking at where to buy tiny baby clothes so he could go out after the birth and get them, I have told him that I don't think we will need to this time because I get the feeling he is going to be bigger than DS1 was.

Well, we have not really started buying yet, just bought stuff when on offer or if we saw something we love. I'm not getting outfits since we have so many left from DS1 we can re-use, some of which he never got around to wearing. We also have plenty of rompers from DS1 too so I don't want to go crazy with them either. I need to see what I do and don't want to re-use before buying more I guess.

Size newborn and up to 1 month
  • 1x fleece sleep suit
  • 3x rompers

Cloth nappies
  • 10x newborn nappies
  • 3x Size 0 wraps
  • 5x Size one (two-part) nappies
  • 21x AIO's/snap-in's/pockets

Other than that all we have got is 2 blankets. I think we will really start buying in a week or two. :shrug:
 
Zfbaby, if I get a VBAC I'll take 1 bag and have a second at home that DH can get should I need to stay in afterwards. If I need a repeat c-section I'll take the changing bag with the things for DS2 and my bag (which is a good size) for me. DH asked me today if I wanted a suitcase he had seen on offer but I said no because we took far too much last time and I'm not doing that again.

How much have you gained if you dont mind me asking?

Im living in leggings! .... Wearing normal size 14's though at the moment! need to go over the bump kinda!

Iv put my newborn and first size into the same pile as there mostly the same, I put up to 1 months in a seperate pile as they a little bit bigger then newborn :)

I think i have about 6 blankets ... so dont need more of them ..

Also i will be taking 1 small holdal size bag for me and the same for baby as its got to fit a pack of nappies etc in!

Il probs take 4-5 vests, 4-5 sleepsuits/rompers/pj things
couple of hats, 1 blanket, 1 pack of nappies, and not sure what else for baby
 
Im not exactly sure as I haven't weighed in a while but I think it's maybe a stone? Up until 20 odd weeks I'd not gone up at all as I was actually still losing weight. As I got bigger in the bump I stopped bothering to weigh as I eat fairly healthily and figure it's all part of it. Pretty laid back about my weight really as I've always been bigger anyway.

I've packed...
For baby:
10 nappies
3 vests
3 sleepsuits in newborn
1x nb hat,
swaddle pod,
receiving blanket,
changing pad,
wipes,
cotton balls,
rash cream and a teddy.

For me:
2 x pj bottoms
1 dressing gown lightweight
Slippers
Socks
Going home outfit
Toiletries
Makeup bag-inc hairbrush etc
10x may pads
1 box of breast pads
1x bath towel
1xhair towel

For dh:
Snack bag
Energy drinks for him
Small bottle of squash and straws for me
T-shirt
Pants and socks
Camera
Change
And phone chargers
I've put toiletries for him in my bag too as hell forget.

Think that's it just hve to add bottled frozen water, spray bottle, nightie and pants before its done
 
Oh yeah an I have a seperate bag with extra pjs, pants and 0-3 baby clothes if they are needed.
 
I have everything packed in 1 large gym bag so we have 1 bag.
It's rediculous how many clothes I have! I got all the neutral stuff from Marielle and then friends of ours gave us even more so I'm not even washing everything as some stuff will go straight back into the loft. Think I've got about 14 hats as well. Waaaaaaaaaay too much :)
 
Lol. For some reason I ended up with loads of hats last time. This time I got 2 newborn sized ones with a outfit set, 1 0-3 hat that came with a 2 pack of sleep-suits and then we bought a 'boobie beanie' (I'll be BF'ing) because I thought it was too funny to resist.
 
I think I have way to much stuff to even remember whats, what lol.
I have packed a bag for baby and a bag for me just incase I don't get my home birth, Sometimes I get worried when I think about having her at home so still might chicken out last minute and go into hospital x

I think having her at home is a very brave choice :) I'm far to much of a worry wart. I need a hospital full of drs or I'd freak out!

In my town we don't have a hospital for babies just a birthing center so the midwife said to me having her at birthing center will be same as having her at home because there are no doctors there. If I wanted to go to the next town and have her I could but they wouldn't refer me there as I am low risk and it's only ment for high risk pregnancies, So i decided having her at home would be just as safe, I really don't want to have to go to the next town, If it was still the same as when I had my other 2 then I would prob be going to my own hospital. Plus my best friend had her baby at home last June and I was her birthing partner and it was amazing so relaxed and stuff x

You should add the weeks/days as well as some are a few weeks difference between them x
 
My back has been killing all day and is getting worse! Think it's got to be one of the worse things :/
 
Our town only has a birthing center as well so we have to go to bath which is roughly 30 mins away. We had such good care there throughout our fertility treatment so I don't mind.
That's true char I'm 34 weeks now so I think I'm due first?! That could also be why I'm
Bigger. :) I like that theory
