What do you think of this list for a c section birth bag?

Paper knickers
Stretchy knickers
Pads (3 packs)
Breast pads (30)
2 Breast feeding bras
2 nighties (1 long, 1 short)
2 pairs PJ's
2 pairs joggers, 2 hoodie tops
3-4 vest tops
Socks (to keep sexy stockings clean, I don't do slippers)
Toiletries inc long handled loofa brush thing
Book, change, hair dryer, peppermints, diluting juice (so I drink plenty of water)

6 babygrows
6 vests
6 socks
4 cardigans
2 hats
Nappies
Vaseline (slather it on babes butt to make tar removal easier)
Dummies
Shawl
A little blankie toy

(babies clothes and nappies, I will take newborn size and also the tiny baby size in a separate bag which if not used will be handed down to SCBU)

Sugar- i'm just really annoyed because I'd never been in hospital before and i just always thought that private healthcare was a worthwhile investment because at least i'd know that if i needed treatment or care then i would decent care rather than relying on the lottery that you often get with the NHS. Well now i will need it and i will have to stay in hospital and it would just mean the luxury of my own room and a bit more one to one care and right now i would really appreciate that but the healthcare company says no.....

We get chagred for photos here they are £2 each and they will only give you one per token so cost us £6 at the 20wk scan :-)

Genius tip with the Vaseline there tia - thanks!

Hypno I think you're right to be annoyed. I'd be furious, it's not like you're having an elective C-section because you don't want to bother with the birth and you're expecting a bonus tummy tuck while they're there.

Good luck Suzy - if your little one isn't out by Monday I'm going to beat you :P

Sounds good to me Tia. Re: Pads, are they not supplied at the hospital? I know when i had DS they were huge mattress type pads, but they were very long and think the midwife even slapped two on me at a time.

Suzy - good luck with the walk!!!! I can barely walk from my chair to my kitchen, so not really an option for me!! i shall come back and repot how the appointment went for definite --i hope itll not be a me letting off steam rant thou!!!!
Glam - i didnt remember it all - as i was scannig through again, i opened a new window n made a note what i wanted to say. it annoyed me so much yesterday that i tried to talk to u all and got interrupted each time. hehe

so, im just chilling out here at the mo....im minding nephew as sister is working and younger sisiter has her drivin test, altho she doesnt know i know. they thought they kept it a good secret from me, but i havent been asked to babysit nephew in about 3 weeks because im so tired n pregnant, and then today was asked to mind him for few hours....!!! silly beggars. lol. they must think bubba has took over my brain. well, they might be right!! haha. so i am very on edge and keep wondering why.im just nervous for her. i remember what its like, as i had to do mine 3 times. can i be greedy and ask everyone for nice examiner and sensible and good luck vibes for my little sis. oohhhh, im soo nervous for her!!

Glamazon

HypnoNu - I would be very annoyed.

Skinty - thanks!!!!

Tia - thanks!!!! I'm going to copy and paste it for my hospital bag - what sort of stuff would you add for a Vaginal delivery? I'll cover both bases as there's a 50/50 chance of c-section. Better to be prepared

Not quite sure I understand that one. Tar?

Just had a text from dh to ask would I pull the sofa out and look behind it as he is sure he heard a mouse when he was getting ready for work this morning!!!
We have been plagued with the little !!!!!!s since they started demolishing houses in the street behind ours. Our neighbour actually put her house up for sale and moved because of it.
I hate them with a passion but dh is the biggest wuss ever and is petrified of them. I am sitting on said sofa at the moment and hate the thought that it could be right underneath me so am plucking up the courage to look. Wondering how to devise a catching device in case it starts running around living room...

gotta go again dad is here one of these days i will be able to catch up properly lol :-)
