How old is he Tara? I hope Aimee's mastered swimming before the school lessons start... Even though its usually her and the instructor, 3 children at the most... Plus the life guard... I still watch her like a hawk when she's on her swimming lesson... She messes about too much to not watch her!

He's 5, can swim great but I would hate for him to be left behind whilst the rest of the class go.

Good morning to ladies and bumps!:D

Labour vibes to those in need/want of them.

I am 36+3 but have been booked in for an ECV (External Cephalic Version)tomorrow to get bubs the right way round. However if anything goes wrong I will be taken in for an emergency CSection. I have packed my bags with the following to put in the car just in case:

My Bag
2 nighties
2 Towels
2 Bra's
1 pack of breast pads
5 big knickers
2 packs of maternity pads
2 pairs of big baggy trousers
2 big Tshirts
Toiletries - Hair bobbles, toothbrush, tooth paste, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, deoderant, face cloth.

Babies bag
Nappies
Baby wipes
Sudo cream
Vaseline
1 hat
3 Newborn outfits
3 0-3 month outfits (have been told baby is already measuring 40weeks last week)
Lots of socks (as we dont have scrathc mits)
Going home outfit

OH's Bag
2 Tshirts
shorts (ward is roasting)
Deoderant
Camera
change for car park

I started to pack my bags for a normal birth but assume I need pretty much the same for a C section.... or am I wrong?

Yes I am starting to freak out that something may go wrong, but managing to hold it together... probably till they say "somethings gone wrong" hen will mega freak.. hohum.:rolleyes:

Sorry for the huge post :rolleyes:

Fingers crossed for you TP. X

What about a going home outfit for you Tickle?

I have taken the bedding out of the drier that's been in there a week... Have put the wet washing in... And put a new load on... And cleared one work surface (the one that gets used as a dumping ground)

Shopping is due anytime after the next 7mins and I still need to clean the top of the oven, the other work surface, around the sink, and the floor... Just had to sit down for a min...

Had constant heartburn since yesterday, nothing is shifting it... Plus I have a headache and surprise surprise, hubby's taken all the paracetamol over the weekend... Just not feeling good today

I can only cope with Rennie chewy for my heartburn, everything else makes me feel sick.

Pretty sure bag for CS will be very similar to normal delivery, they only keep u in for about 48 hrs these days.

other suggestions for the hosp bag:

lip balm (or use the vasaline)
drinking straw/cartons of drink (for when you're in strange positions - although not really needed for a CS!)
Mags/books/mp3 player
tens machine and batteries

I've packed cotton wool for baby - do u think the hosp will provide this? my bag is so full need to remove anything thats not needed!

Tickle hope all goes well - You can't have yours before mine after all It's not fair for starters! :P
I want this baby oooouuuuuuttttt!
37+2 and I'm so exhausted all the time it's not funny! Went up for a shower and had to have a snooze afterwards Feel like another snooze now again to be honest!
