Knickers/pads

What does everyone recommend to take for the hospital? I wear UK 18 knickers usually from M&S, the big ones that go to your belly button! Should I bring them with maternity pads, disposable knickers or period knickers (big ones from M&S again)?

Bump question!

At what stage did you start to get a noticeable bump? I’m 19 weeks currently with an anterior placenta, but am also plus sized, so don’t think the bump has grown past my extra layer of chub yet 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Just so desperate for to be noticeably pregnant and not to just look like a big belly!

Size 16/18 UK

Hey girls I’m really worried about getting pregnant at this size & how much weight it could make me gain. I’m 5ft 3 and 13 stone 5lbs. Has anyone not gained much weight during pregnancy? Obviously you’ll weigh more because of baby and bump but I mean all over body weight. Thanks.
