If you’re stuck on the ward for quite a while and you’re bottle feeding, what do you do for making bottles / sterilising bottles?

My cousin took those ready made up bottles that are disposable. Not the best if you are trying to concious of waste but very easy all round

To be fair to that dad they do have the maternity wards insanely hot. I swear I sweat out all my excess weight before I leave the hospital, it’s like a sauna

Hospitals are just so dry aren't they?! It’s hot and dry and it’s like the desert

I don’t think most hospitals have a place for sterilising. They either give you our wee bottles of formula or in some hospitals you’ve to take your own.

I don’t get why as well that when a new hospital is built, it is still built to look like the 80s like they never look modern do they. Also why must the floor be joined to the wall without skirting it’s like one big continuous surface this is completely irrelevant but that’s my stupid thought of the day x

I think it’s for hygiene, there’s less surfaces for dirt to gather on or dust so they have just one surface. I think newer hospitals have hygienic cladding inside now!
There’s a new-ish one near me and the inside is like a hotel it’s ridiculous floor to ceiling glass windows to look out into a huge atrium!

This sounds excellent where I live they still look they have been designed by someone from 1985 who loves the cream with confetti print in blue x

That's like our hospital..lots of courtyards and atrium and modern art. But the staff are the real gems

Some of those hospitals sound fancy and I’m kinda jealous here is a pic of mine.. it’s as dated in the inside as it is on the outside

Even the wards are called ‘gates’ It’s a shame the maternity bit isn’t as nice and new as the main bit!

Hi sorry for TMI but had a rough night. I’m 5 weeks & been having some constipation was my first symptom/clue that I was pregnant. Had bad trapped gas when I went to bed last night & woke in the middle of night with diarrhoea and feeling super faint / actually getting cold sweats all over. Has anyone had anything like this ?

 

[wakametango]

You have to put your orders in now with your birth partners, that's their most important job. With my first I sent him to McDonald's and my second I made him go get me a Costa sausage toastie. They were the best meals I've ever had. Hospital food is bleurgh. And at our trust they did this weird bonding thing where they laid the breakfast out on a table at the end of the ward and we had to self serve to get us chatting I drew all my curtains around me

Bonding breakfast absolutely no thank you!!

You have to take in the premade ones that come in starter pack things

Aww I know what you mean! I'm now only at the point where physically I cant get comfortable and struggling to sleep, and sickness has been tricky the last few days! Thank you I'm sure I'll report back how it goes x

I spent all of yesterday absolutely knackered. I was asleep by 9.30, woke up tossing and turning all night trying to get comfy. Legs, knees, ankles and hips all aching. Fitbit still says i got less than 7 hours slsep. I woke up at 7!! 20+5 today
