Breastfeedin is a breeze, n da pains are slowly faidin away. Nw i realise dat madahood is da toughert job dat brings nothn bt joy, luv n contentment. Enjoy dose lil persns ladies...

Ntoko you not alone

I am only 36 weeks and will see how baby is this weeks scan. I doubt she dropped, she is head down from 28 weeks but her feet are right up my ribs, still high up. so think everything is going according to plan and will be due 4 weeks time ...still a while and i am not complaining

I want her to be in there for as long as possible, right to 40 weeks I really dont mind.

dont want her to come out earlier, as its too early

Atleast you ladies are counting days, im waiting for the unknown Its all up to baby to decide when to come.

Congrats to all your ladies that are holding your little bundles of joy already. They are too cute and I loved reading your birth stories.

As for the rest of us, well, I feel it with you all. 4 more sleeps for me and I promise you I CAN NOT WAIT.

Hang in there, before you know it it will be over.

I feel u ladies, m also sooo tired. I just wanna b normal again.
M 38wks 1d 2day and wish baby can come out this week.

Thanks Kerry

you cant be bored already

Okay everything you mentioned, I got..... packed

although fourways life only wants baby grows, ear buds, everything else they supply baby with. I take my stuff and toiletries and packed two blankets. socks, beanies, at least what she does not wear, I can bring back home. rather have more than less

I still though packed all baby things, toiletries etc. just paranoid and like to take my own stuff just incase

I packed two sets of summer pj's.

i know the work thing is tough, and uncomfortable, but just keep thinking that its only x amount of days and take each day as it comes and soon you will be at home with a little bundle in your arms and as happy as a pig in... or lets say a puppy with two tails. It is all worth it i promise.

Sher - they keep the hospital pretty warm i wore a short sleeve nightie and was still hot under the covers. baby wore a short sleeve vest each day and a long sleeve thin baby grow. I took some warmer things for her but she didn't end up using them.

you will also need a swaddling blanket, and then a heavy blanket to put over so theres weight on her, just to make her more comfortable

Then the other things we had to use is top to toe wash, aqueous cream, surgical spirits, baby oil, a baby towl for the bath, nappies, wipes baby powder, cotton balls.

you will need at least a pack of linnen savers, and maternity pads

then lastly what i thought would be nice is some juice concentrate, you drink quite a bit and the water while it's nice i prefer juice so hubby kept fetching me stuff from the shop there.

Thats about all i can think you wont get away with not having, the rest is pretty much only wants and not needs

Hope that helps?
