C-Section/HospitalPacking Tips

• Upvotes

Morning all! I'm having a C-Section in NMH in a month and realised yesterday I really should still have the bag packed just in case baby is on his own timeline in there so, doing this today.

I have read all the posts here, and watched many TikToks from Irish creators at what to bring/not bring, but would love to know if there's anything you loved having, wish you'd brought, or really didn't end up needing?

I think we need to bring a nappy and a hat down to theatre for the baby, but is there anything else required for me - disposable pants, pads etc? Also, is it better to bring short or long sleeve vests? I hear the hospitals are kept very hot!

Thank you!

🧠 Tips & Advice Advice needed to use Cybex cloud T car seats with different strollers.

• Upvotes

Thanks for reading this. I am about to buy travel systems as we are expecting baby in Dec. As I have searched it seems, Cybex cloud T has good ADAC safety score and thinking no need to compromise on car seats. But checked whole travel systems on Cybex and felt it is going above my budget. Will any other pram work with Cybex cloud T with reasonable quality? Please advice.

PGP/signed off

3 Upvotes

I'm 32 weeks and struggling significantly with PGP, I'm trying to keep going as best I can, but each day gets harder. I am still working full time as a nurse and to be honest I don't know how much longer I can continue. My job is mostly office based with wards, clinics throughout the day.

I have been referred to physio and have an upcoming appointment.

I am consultant led and have an appointment soon. Do I mention to my consultant about being signed off? Is it reasonable to be signed off at this stage?

I'm feeling extremely guilty that I'm not working at 100% capacity and am even considering leaving work early.

Infant formula

2 Upvotes

Hi all, my sister is looking for Kendamil formula for an infant, she’s very particular and wanting to give the same one but it’s getting harder to find. I was trying to tell her just switch to a more available brand, does anyone know what’s the best most readily available one? the organic one seems easier got so maybe just switch to that or SMA equivalent
