History queen have you tried that lactalose? I gave it to my eldest once or twice and it worked!!!! I would presume all the hospitals will follow suit now with visitors? Things seem to be getting back to normal now with regard to procedures etc in non maternity hospitals.
I have 1 big suitcase for the stay. 1 side is my stuff, other side are baby’s things and a rucksack for labour. The suitcase is probably only 50/60% full but I couldn’t fit everything into hand luggage because of nappies and maternity towels etc.
I am currently washing car seat and pram covers. Did anyone buy a baby wrap blanket thing for the car seat?
Haven't tries lactalose but doc said he'd prescribe if I have ongoing issues.
My suitcase is exactly as you describe. And funny enough I'm just after putting on a wash with carseat inserts/covers. We must be living parallel lives!
i didn't buy the baby wrap thing for the car seat. I just layer muslins/celular blankets when using car seat as easy to add/remove layers while travelling without taking baby out. 0 -

Oh gosh maybe it’s not lactalose I gave him! You just buy it over the counter. White bottle?
Yeah you are prob right re car seat wrap. I always did the same as you with layering 0 -

How is everyone getting on?
I am dying to have the baby now haha. The kicks/movements are getting stronger, sometimes they're really uncomfortable. Can't sleep at night either between not being able to get comfy and being too hot. Roll on the next few weeks 0 -

Has anyone here any experience with being induced?
No experience of being induced. Hopefully not long for you now 0 -
Hey plastic heart, jumping in from the Sept thread... I had pre-eclampsia on my last pregnancy and was induced at 37 weeks. I was brought in on the Sunday evening, given the gel at 10pm and had her the next day. Now, unfortunately, I ended up in an emcs scenario after labouring for a short time but it was honestly a really lovely experience. The staff were great with me and kept the whole thing nice and calm, I wouldn't have changed anything about my birth because I really loved it all. I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any more info 0

Aww thanks for the reply Plum Pud! I was a bit concerned if I am induced I may end up with an emcs and that sounded worrisome but your experience sounds grand, I wouldn't mind that too much at all.0 -

No problem at all, you're very welcome. Unfortunately we get met with the horror stories of induction and emcs's but not all of them are horrors. My only thing was I found out at 35 weeks I was being induced at 37 and I feel I would have liked a bit more time but that was just because it was my first and I was nervous of what to expect but I really loved every bit of it.. Weird I know, the theatre bit can be daunting, but it honestly was really nice because there's so many medical professionals there for you and baby... Its getting your head around how many people are there with you but it really is grand. 0 -

Saw that on Instagram earlier. I'm in NMH so hopefully they follow soon.
I'm 36 weeks now, feeling very uncomfortable and tired but otherwise fine. Bump feels lower and I'm definitely starting to waddle!0 -
