Hiya I know this is similar to a thread the other day (think it was Hope's) but sometimes it is easier for other people to identify what you have missed. I packed my hospital bag for baby yesterday. So far I have the following: 3 x vests up to 7.5lb 3 x vests up to 10lb 3 x...

Have you packed your hospital bag yet? If not when do you plan on doing it? x

I had a c section with my DD and my scar healed really well and was barely noticeable even although it was only 17 months ago. I am now 34+3 with my second baby and for the past few days I have been getting some pain in my scar and it is also starting to feel a bit lumpy. Managed to look at it...

Hiya Hope you don't mind me popping in to ask a few questions about what to put in my hospital bag. My DD was prem so I didn't even have a hospital bag packed, just relied on OH to bring me stuff as I needed it. First question is do I really need a dressing gown? I only have a thick one...

Anyone else still waiting for their nesting instinct to kick in? Mine is non-existent. There is so much I want to get done before baby arrives but I have no energy. I have a week of holiday leave from work before I start mat leave next week, my DD is at nursery today so it would have been the...

At my antenatal appointment last wed they found moderate lucocytes (do!) in my urine. As I wasn't having any symptoms of infection they didn't give me any antibiotics and just sent the sample away for further testing. I was away over the weekend and kind of forgot all about it. All day...

For some reason it has only just occurred to me that I have less than 50 days to go and still haven't decided on a name (or even a shortlist of names!) for my little boy. Starting to worry now......especially since DD was 6 weeks early! How far on are you and have you picked a name yet...

We decided to make a shortlist of names to decide from once our little boy arrives, only problem is we still don't really have any names on it and we are running out of time! I keep coming back to the name Gillen, but I am so indecisive! Honest opinions needed! x

Great idea for a new area to the forum! I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for ladies who are pregnant after having pre-eclampsia. In my first pregnancy I was diagnosed with PE at 34+4. I had gone to my GP to get more cream for my eczema and when I was there mentioned my...

Does anyone know what the criteria are for getting screened for gestational diabetes? I have noticed quite a few people on here have been for a GTT however this has never been mentioned at any of my appointments x

I took another bump pic today and compared it with my 24 week photo and my bump has totally changed! I presume baby has just moved and is lying in a different position but OMG it looks like the baby has gone on holiday somewhere leaving mummy looking like she has been eating way too much...

Really struggling to come up with boys names we like! Anyone want to throw some suggestions at me? x

Hi Wondering if anyone can tell me methods of induction that can be used when having a VBAC? Anyone got any experience of this? Thanks x

So excited, our pram arrived at the weekend! Took us ages trying to decide what to get as we will need a double. Finally decided on an out and about nipper 360 double. http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdisplayA_531_10751_-1_14552_132957_10001_ Now that it's...

Just realised I have only 99 days to go! I have been ill all weekend with the flu and my poor DD has had us up all night with a vomiting bug, however this has cheered me up, can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going! x

Hi I have just sat down to write a list of the stuff I will need for the new baby and my mind has gone blank. My DD is 14 months and so I still have all the stuff I had for her and everything is still in okay condition so I am going to re use as much as possible. We are team blue this time...

I have always liked the name Gillen for a boy but now that I know we are definitely team blue I'm not too sure! Any opinions? Thanks x

Anybody bought a lightweight casual jacket or coat to fit their bump? Where did you get it? I need inspiration! Thanks x

Any recommendations as to where to buy black maternity trousers suitable for work? I got some from dorothy perkins and despite buying a size smaller than I usually would they don't stay up very well. Anyone found any good fitting ones? x

Has anyone got any recommendations for non-spill cups that actually work? We has been using a tommee tippee 'tip it up' cup but LO has worked out that if she puts her finger into the spout (it has a soft spout) the water spills out, its her new favourite game! I bought an avent cup yesterday...
