@millsbynight im in london too! At Queen Charlottes! Only annoying thing is they don’t offer many antenatal classes-only breastfeeding n labour!

hanna87 · 28/10/2017 14:08

For the Gaviscon lovers- don’t forget that we get free prescriptions at the moment and gaviscon can be prescribed by your GPs! (Its burnt a small hole in my pocket!)

AmandaP86x · 28/10/2017 14:15

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow I have kinda cramp today really low down! 😩 kinda freaking a bit xx

MummyM33 · 28/10/2017 14:21

Started thinking about my hospital bag today. I'm worried about the amount I want to take in! Will a small suitcase and small duffel bag be too much? So much stuff to pack for baby he def needs a whole bag of his own! x

SJ1989 · 28/10/2017 15:24

@Mummym33 I have a small suitcase and another bag so don't worry, a friend of mine was the same too!

MummyM33 · 28/10/2017 16:22

Thank you @SJ1989 I'm just worrying as thinking it might be too much! x

robindeer · 28/10/2017 16:25

Solidarity to my heartburn afflicted sisters! It's so frustrating when it wakes you up! I just want a good night's sleep Angry

Usernamegone · 28/10/2017 16:36

I've got really bad heartburn today. I've taken my

Omeprazole But it's doesn't seem to be working. I'm shattered and can't be bothered to walk to the shop for some more gaviscon!

ChocoMunchi · 28/10/2017 17:49

@hanna87 you don’t even need to visit your GP for a prescription for gaviscon. It’s covered by the minor ailments scheme so u can get it straight from your pharmacist for free.

hanna87 · 28/10/2017 18:21

Thanks @ChocoMunchi but our local ccg has blocked the scheme :(

SJ1989 · 28/10/2017 18:38

@MummyM33 I thought the same, think I'm taking more than needed for baby but is rather have more than enough than not enough!

flossyfloss · 28/10/2017 19:37

I’m suffering terribly with heartburn too Angry gavison double action is the only thing that takes the edge off but it seems to be permanently there!

Had our 4D scan today, I have anterior placenta and typically she was snuggling her face into it! Plus pulling the cord in the way so the pictures are t the best but it was lovely to see her! Grin

@flossyfloss that 4D scan is amazing 😍

millsbynight · 28/10/2017 19:55

Sorry for double post.. @MummyM33 I’m taking a small suitcase/cabin bag thing but you can take as many bags as you want. Although don’t forgot you’ll probably only be there 1 night max. These days women are in and out in a day due to availability, or lack thereof, of beds on the post-natal ward Sad You’ll be hurried out quite quickly as soon possible assuming no problems with mum or baby.

LoobysMummy14 · 28/10/2017 20:25

What is everyone packing in their hospital bags I have most packed but I have a feeling I'm missing something Confused
Heartburn has got to be the worst, suffering with it badly today Sad

Waitingonasmile · 28/10/2017 21:41

@AmandaP86x aw random aches and pains can be so worrying. It's probably just everything stretching and moving about. How are they now?

MrsPworkingmummy · 28/10/2017 22:21

I haven't packed mine yet, but now that we're making progress with the nursery, it's something i'll be thinking about doing within the next few weeks. The things i'll be packing (based on what I found useful or useless 6 years ago with DD1) are:

  • toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and a mild shower gel (I really liked Sanex 0% last time as it's mild which is certainly what is needed when cleaning 'down there')
  • birth plan and notes
  • jarmies and a dressing gown
  • hair brush and make-up
  • two baby vests
  • 2 baby grows
  • camera
  • new born nappies and wipes
  • Clean knickers (forget about disposable. Absolutely rubbish!)
  • Sanitary towels for any bleeding afterwards (work better than maternity pads IMO and are much more comfortable to wear)
  • spare phone charger
  • deodorant
  • purse/change for hospital coffee machine/cafe
  • Baby blanket (although DH could bring this in with car seat when we are leaving hospital)
  • I'm also packing a 'Best Big Sister' gift for our DD1

I think that's about everything! If I have to stay on longer than last time, DH would bring additional baby clothes. I plan to breastfeed too so not taking any bottles.

katmarie · 29/10/2017 01:00

@ChocoMunchi that info about the minor ailment scheme is so useful, thank you!! I’ll be checking that out with my local pharmacy on Monday.

Hospital bag is nowhere near packed yet, but my plan was wheeled cabin suitcase for me, and a small bag, possibly the changing bag, for baby. Someone suggested having a follow up bag in the car in case I have to stay longer than one night so that’s my plan, as we’re about 30 minutes drive from the hospital, so it will save dp having to go and rummage through my stuff to pack me extra stuff.

In terms of how long we’ll be in, all of the midwives I’ve spoken to have urged me to make sure I stay as long as I want to, to take advantage of the support they have to offer. I did say I always assumed we’d be booted out as space was limited, but both the midwives I talked to told me they were more than happy for new mums to stay in an extra night if they felt they needed it for their own confidence, and they wouldn’t boot us out until we felt ready to go. So that was hugely reassuring.

hodgeheg92 · 29/10/2017 07:33

Haven't even thought about the hospital bag(s) yet! Think I'm possibly a bit scared to, it will make the fact that I have to actually give birth a bit more real. Eek!

My birth centre (fingers crossed I go there) have said the same as katmarie's - they have lovely rooms to stay overnight in and there's an extra bed in them for DH to stay (and they feed him breakfast!) so that'll be some extra clothes to pack.

Fredthefrog · 29/10/2017 12:25

I feel the same hodgeheg92 but I assume I will have to do it in the next couple of weeks. Eek!

SJ1989 · 29/10/2017 12:59

31 weeks Today! 9 weeks till due date probably less till she's here! So excited!

Owl1011 · 29/10/2017 16:37

28 weeks today, celebrating entering the third trimester and ordered our first piece of furniture for the nursery Grin

@SJ1989 what a lovely bump you have!

millsbynight · 29/10/2017 17:07

Blossoming @SJ1989 😍 I’ll try take a bump pic tonight or tomorrow if I remember.

So I did the weekly shop today and put a pack of newborn nappies in the trolley as I was thinking about starting to organise my hospital bag. All starting to feel very real!! 🙊

ziggzagg · 29/10/2017 18:13

@SJ1989 Beautiful bump!! I feel massive! Sure there's a hidden twin in there!! Haha! 31 weeks now!!

Waitingonasmile · 29/10/2017 19:11

I've been having a pity party all weekend and feeling so uncomfortable. Then realised I only have 6 more weeks at work left l!!! Single figure until maternity leave definitely means the end is in sight.
