Hospital bags help
Hi mummy's I'm going to be 30 w tues was thinking of starting to pack my hospital bags for me n bub this week as i may go early, I no some mummy's say they didn't use half the stuff they took so was wondering what are the main things I need so I can go shopping and what u didn't need I'm having him at Logan hospital not sure if they supply anything
Hehehe cool iv just had 2 friends one mon and one today have there bubs early so I think I best get packing lol
Thanks girls I think I'm going to end up with a big suitcase I think lol is that normal or will they look at me weird if I turn up looking like I'm going on a holiday hehehe
A notepad or journal and a pen, chargers for phone/iPad/camera etc, fruit, light dressing gown, socks (cold even in summer if air cons are on), your own facewashers, stock your ph number up with everyone's numbers if you don't use Facebook/plan on announcing the birth that way, im going to pack a letter with cards to my hubby and son- this will be our last bub so want to say a few things to them!
This sounds terrible but staring at my newborn wasn't enough...I got so bored with no visitors (was in for about 5 days all up). Some trashy magazines or your iPod with alot of aps won't hurt. Something that doesn't take too much concentration but will pass the time if you find it hard to sleep on rock hard hospital beds in a room that's still semi light!
Buy some cheap undies that will hold the surfboard sized maternity pads! Haha. I got one of those 7 packs from big w. that way your nice undies don't get blood stains.
Definitely take socks, cheap comfy pj's (you may get blood on those too), dressing gown, and a phone charger. Snacks are great too!
I completely agree with the toilet paper. (& lean forward to wee)
Pj pants, I lived in mine the whole time I was in hospital.
Agree with the foundation & mascara!!!!
Your camera, phone charger, magazines. (just things to keep you entertained while you don't have visitors & babes asleep.
Your slippers, it usually gets cold at night. & your own pillow. & I took my own shampoo & what not. :-)
A loose top to wear after birth. I only packed breast feeding singlets and didn't like the thought if putting one of them on cause they are quite tight, lucky I'd packed a tshirt for my hubby incase so I wore that for a day. Libra maternity pads are the best brand, pack 2 packets just incase you stay for a while. Also a couple of sterilised bottles just incase you can't breast feed, I didn't like the idea of using hospital ones if I couldn't feed.
My OH stayed with me 1 of the 2 nights I was on labour ward being induced wish I had packed him deodorant and a shirt!!! But yes lots of snacks. I didnt have much dinner after delivery( tea was tuna ewww so the midwife made me toast) but from my room on maternity ward I could see the golden arches, at 6am waiting 4 breakfast what I wouldn't have given for hot cakes. Luckily I had milo bars!! All this talk is making me want to pack my bags now ( I'm only 16 weeks)
I had my son there 4 months ago,I took maternity pads but there were some in my draw.I would take some snacks like museli bars as they give u brekky ,lunch ,dinner .Also they will have a water jug for u with cup but found it easier to have a water bottle which I could fill at the bubbler.Take your own pillow (those u shape ones are also great to feed with.They have shower gel in shower and towels face washers and bath mats that u just get and take to shower.If I think of anything else I will pm u .
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Clothes you can breast feed in I didn't think of how I was going to breast feed and only had one top I could wear!
Also snacks is a big one! I got giving a jar of lollies and they were awesome me when I found my self hungry in the middle of the night hehehe!
