The woman opposite me sat doing her full face of make up and curling her hair!Yeh I’ve watched a few and always wonder how much of the stuff they actually end up using. Watched a YouTuber pack moisturising face masks for her and husband to do
Same here! I’ve seen lavender pillow spray, skin care kits, foot masks, “pregnancy make up kits” like this is my first baby and I’m genuinely clueless but I found this whole “hospital bag” shit a bit frustrating.. like amongst all the shit they bring how do they find anything?Yeh I’ve watched a few and always wonder how much of the stuff they actually end up using.

The stokke trip trap is amazing. You have to buy the newborn insert to use in it but you can keep converting it all the way up to a normal wooden chair, we still use ours as a chair with our 4 year old. Really recommend.Has anyone got any recommendations for high chairs that can be used from birth? Just realised we have nothing to put him in when we’re eating our Christmas dinner
It's literally just a case of taking what you'd pack if you were to go for a few nights somewhere for yourself. But just comfy clothesSame here!

Even the two words together give me the rage
You would think that but it’s like it’s become some kind of phenomenon in the last few years to pack all kinds of unnecessary shit into a bag by week 24It's literally just a case of taking what you'd pack if you were to go for a few nights somewhere for yourself. But just comfy clothesand maternity pads.
And then snacks.
And then baby just needs clothes nappies and bottles really.
Hold the phone….. you’re supposed to take turns?!?!Re eating with a new born…
I think you have to take it in turns to jealousy watch each other eat while your food goes cold. At least for 6 months, anyway. That’s how I’ve seen it go
Oh, I forgot toothpaste and deodorant. What a smelly bitchI’ve just packed travel size shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant
plus most people live reasonably close to the hospital or even a shop so your partner could always nip out and get anything you’ve missed. No amount of lavender pillow spray is going to make those hospital beds any comfier …
Literally this. Babies have an uncanny ability to sense when you want to eat and decide theyre also hungry too at the same time…Re eating with a new born…

This was my worryI bought a maternity nightie for my hospital bag. It never got used as it was obscenely tight and short!
I tried primark & they didn’t have any nighties which I was so surprised at, going to try a different one tomorrowLast time I got an XL nightie from primark with buttons down the front for when I was in labour, it was just from the normal range. I will use it again this time as I haven't used it since.
I couldn’t find a button one so I got a really thin strap one from asda which is v neck so can pop a boob out easily when necessaryThis was my worry! It’s actually been so difficult to just find a button nightie
Yay! CongratulationsBaby girl Charlotte arrived safely on Wednesday a teeny 6lbs! 2 weeks early due to GD but perfectly healthy. Planned section was amazing. I've read online that they are really positive and a good experience. I didn't believe it could be, but it was truly amazing. We're going home today. Yay. I honestly feel amazing and just just so lucky. No feeling like it.
Feeling more sore today, hurts to get up and about. Especially now were home and my bed doesn't move! Hospital was short staffed so had to do everything for baby from about 6hrs fter birth once catheter out. And I do still have a numb bum cheek, not sure if it's from being immobile or the spinal...anybody experienced this? Wish I'd got stronger pain meds than para/Ibuprofen...! X
