I absolutely feel you with being away from older siblings. It is the one thing about going in to have a baby (mine have always been induced or sections so always know the date) that I worry myself silly about. They’ve always been fine, and never even seem bothered, but I worry the whole time. I usually Skype them over breakfast, and again at dinner time (and in the past they’ve been able to visit but of course stupid CovidI am having my baby boy tomorrow!!!!!(Planned section). Feels so surreal thinking that this time tomorrow hopefully he will be here.
I am spending today loading up and constantly eating like a hamster as I am not sure how I’ll cope being nil by mouth. I am a breakfast fiend when pregnant
and lots and lots of cuddles and playing with my 3.5 year old. I have been feeling sad about being away from him but kind of realised last night that when he’s had sleepovers with grandma in the past I’ve seen him every day still but this time I won’t….have to be at the hospital for 7.30am so he’s staying overnight with my mum. I know I’ll be in at least one night so after I’ve dropped him off the earliest I’ll see him again is Tuesday. I feel so tearful about it.
the last few months I’ve had such awful SPD I am feeling so guilty for being a grump and saying no to lifting him up and getting on the floor with him and not going to the park or Farm etc because I need crutches. Sooo hoping recovery is straightforward . I just want to be fun mum again and do all the things we haven’t because of covid and then SPD.
This is my main worry too, I've only had two nights away from my toddler (1 night apart twice) and as you say, I've usually seen her in the afternoon and then the next morning.I absolutely feel you with being away from older siblings.

I won’t lie, I usually have a little cry about it when I’ve finished FaceTiming them. But they never seem to mind because they get treated so super specially by dad and the grandparents while I’m in hospital, such a big fuss for them that it’s exciting.Definitely harder for us than themThis is my main worry too, I've only had two nights away from my toddler (1 night apart twice) and as you say, I've usually seen her in the afternoon and then the next morning.
I know logically that she will be fine but it'll be really hard if I have to stay in for longer than 1 or 2 nights altogether!
Make sure you go through with him where everything is though, you don't want to have to be trying to describe to him what you want and where it is when you're in labour or immediately recovering from a section!Hospital bags are both packed nowit was a tight squeeze but I got there in the end! Ready for me to unpack and repack hundreds of time before she arrives I am sure.
I just need to go and purchase another box of the formula milks that I already bought and lost and we are all ready to go! Feel a lot better now I know I won’t have to rely on Mr Rita finding stuff for me
Great tip thankyou! Will definitely do that nearer the time because he will forget within 12 minutes if I tell him nowMake sure you go through with him where everything is though, you don't want to have to be trying to describe to him what you want and where it is when you're in labour or immediately recovering from a section!
thank you- sooooo tearful now. Have dropped him off at my mums and come home. Very upset. Going to have a can of alcohol free gin and tonic and try and have an early night after tea I think. Feel so delicate.Hes been a bloody angel today, so well behaved and funny and affectionate. The last few weeks he has been an absolute horror and I’ve been needing a reminder why we ever thought it was a good idea to have a second !I absolutely feel you with being away from older siblings.

thank you for your love and understanding. Just want him to be here and us to be on our way home now

glsd the bags are packed. I’ve redone mine today to try and squeeze a towel in…can’t ! Have decided will take that separately in a bag for life with a pillow as well. I hve been frugal packing wise but still feel like soo many bags (one small overnight/hold all type for me, cabin suitcase for baby and dad and a changing bag with extra clothes, nappies etc in for baby and some snacks for us). Now this bag for life too.
did notice earlier on repacking them that my toddler had put some wooden aliens and cars and things in so was glad I’d gone back through them
my bloody bladder gets me up every2 hours at leastAw best of luck tomorrow lovely. I panic about leaving my little boy when it's time for me to have baby but I bet they'll have the time of their lives!! Hope you manage to get a good interrupted nights sleep!! Xx
