I'm taking mainly newborn and a few (like 1-2) 0-3 months, the newborn stuff in the UK is 6-10lb mainly so hoping it will be ok. Alot of people have said they had bigger babies and still used their newborn stuff
Thanks ladies...I guess I'll just look at everything and try to gauge each piece to decide what I'm taking!
My cat loves water too but she does not enjoy being sprayed with it! haha! The bathroom is her favorite room in the house and she is always hanging out in the sink and bathtub. We also have issues with her water bowl because instead of drinking from it she dips her feet in it!
I'm taking a newborn outfit and a 0-3 months outfit just to be on the safe side. Certain brands run bigger or smaller than others, but I figure this way all bases are covered.
For you ladies who have had babies, did you start going #2 all the time before you went into labor? I'm in the bathroom like 4 or 5 times a day and that's a hell of a lot for me. I'm just trying to figure out if its a good sign or if its just something weird my body is doing.

With my last one I didnt have my clear out until I was in labor. Every time I had a contraction I had to poo. Went on for about 30 mins before I left for the hospital .
Trying not to feel down, but just looked at the notes my consultant wrote. He put bishops score is 4. Just googled it, and score ranges from 0-13, and said anything 5 or less is unlikely to end in a successful induction.
Melly: I hate hearing that. But unlikely doesn't mean the impossible.
Nikki: So excited for you! Can't wait to see pics of your LO!
AFM: Zoela weighs 7lbs 1oz, which is 50 percentile, measuring right on with her due date. She is also head down and fully engaged. I'm 1cm dilated and 20% enfaced. Heart rate is 140bpm. (She is 12oz bigger than DD was at this point.) We will be meeting our little love one day soon.
I do know that I won't be induced before 39 weeks and for sure I won't be allowed to go past my EDD.
I'm a bit surprised that she's taking up my whole belly. And she doesn't have much room left in there. My Dr. will really be looking at my placenta. With GD thats our worry that the placenta will stop doing its job earlier. So, I'm very curious to hear what he says on Monday. And I will go with whatever he suggests.

Here is the stuff I used that I am glad I packed:
My own toiletries
Socks and slippers. Keep in mind, your feet are likely to swell significantly after being on fluids for your c-section.
Comfy yoga pants/pajama pants.
Hairband and hairties.
Laptop/Phone.
Comfortable heavier blanket to feel like you're sleeping at home.
SNACKS
I packed everything for me and baby in one duffle bag and kept it light. I honestly wore the gown the first 2 days because of the bleeding anyway. I didn't find myself wanting for anything except that my adapter for my laptop died and I couldn't use it while I was in the hospital!!!
Thanks I was wondering I know I'm brining. My own pillow and I think I have enough clothes but like u ill probably be in the gown for a day or 2 and I'm bring a portable DVD player to watch some movies when baby is sleeping and dh is gone to rest at home what kind of snack did u being ?
I brought things like mini packs of chips, cookies, brownies, fruit strips, pop tarts. Basically non-perishables that helped get thru the night when I was hungry!
I'm not dilated at all, completely closed. We don't use balloons here, never heard of them? Is it literally just a balloon? All I'll get is one dose of this gel they put up to soften cervix, I can't remember the name of it but I think it starts with p? I'm only allowed 1 lot of it this time, and then section if nothing has happened. I had 2 lots last time and nothing happened.
DeeDee- the end of pregnancy sucks so that nature makes us pumped for labor! Otherwise no one would do it! haha...and yay for 39 weeks! I remember when I was first pregnant and on all the boards and seeing the ladies who were as far as our January girls are now and thinking it seemed like I would never be there!
I had the nursery door open because I like to let the cat in there to get used to the room and today I found her in the freaking crib. SHe has a bad back leg due to what a spinal injury as a kitten (the shelter thinks she was hit by a car) and she has little muscle tone in that leg. Our bed is about the highest she can jump and she doesn't get on the table or counters. I've been finding cat hair in the pack n play and I think she's jumping from the bed, but I have yet to catch her in there so I haven't been able to do anything about it. I have no clue how she jumped up into the crib...it is higher than what I thought she could jump. I've been trying to keep her out of all the baby stuff so she knows what is and isn't hers, and I'm sure once baby is here crying and messing diapers she won't want anything to do with those places. Ugh...I'm still trying to figure out how the heck she got in there!

I looked up the bowel movement thing, and it says that usually starts 24-48 hours before labor starts... This is 4 or 5 days now... I'm not sure that's what it is.
