oh god thats another thing that i havent done. My birth plan. I was really wanting to wait untill OH gets here before i started all that but i really should be somewhat prepared. Arghhh i need to get more stuff aswell. I am all of a sudden feeling very unprepared haha

you normally do your birth plan with your midwife at about 36 or 37 weeks

 

[brandonsgirl]

Yeah i saw that on the NHS website aswell. Think i might use that when i finally come to do it lol.
Do you have everything for your hospital bag?

I doubt my MW will do it with me. She is more of a you take it home and fill it out and then bring it back type of person lol

 

[Luke's_mummy]

No lol i need to get like EVERYTHING for my hospital bad still! lol x

 

[brandonsgirl]

lol yeah i need to get mostof it. I have been stacking up on my maternity pads though as i knew im going to be needing them. I have some nighties that were a litte too big for me before getting pregnant so i think i will pack them (will save some money ) And im thinking of getting some think socks to wonder around in because i dont think i want to be walking around in my slippers having my waters drench them all the time. lol

 

[Luke's_mummy]

When is it the right time to start doing your birthing bag? My OH really wants me to start sorting mine out... Is it too soon? xx

I did mine at like 16 weeks I think its never too soon

i finally did mine at 39 weeks lol

I'm almost as bad as you, I just now started getting everything together that I'll need but I still don't have them in a bag of any sort... Or all in one place for that matter
Some of it still needs to be washed too

I'm bad

 

[brandonsgirl]

yeah slipper socks are a good idea lol. Hospitals have too many slopes.. would suck of i went for a slide on my butt whislt having a contraction haha

and i sleep on my belly when should i stop?

probably now its not advised. also when you get bigger ive heard you're not meant to sleep on your back either..cant remember why... pressure on bubs or something
xx

 

[Jas029]

I probably shouldn't of but I slept on my belly for as longgg as I could because I loved it so much and I knew soon I wouldn't be able to for MONTHS.. but finally I had to stop when I started getting a real bump and it was to uncomfortable..
I think I was still trying to fight to sleep on my stomach around 16 weeks? Some where around there..

I'm glad I went as long as I could though, I miss it soo much now

i was just reading this last night. once you get to 3rd tri u are not supposed to sleep on back because it cuts of blood flow to your legs.

I've heard multiple reasons for it.. And yeah most the time I can't these days anyway it makes me feel so squished and uncomfortable

 

[QuintinsMommy]

yep, no sleeping on your belly or back.
I know when I was in labour whenever I layed on my back his heart rate would slow down.
thank god I always slept on my side, poor little guy was being all smushed. lol

 

[trashit]

yeah they do not like it when were on our backs! He always flips out. Its ok, they say, if your heads raised like when the mw checks you out. But it can make you feel faint and breathless, i know it does me!

 

[somegirl]
