Hospital recommendation?

Hi everyone, I’ve recently had a positive pregnancy test so now in the stage of working out what hospital to self refer to. Does anyone have and recommendations? I think my closest ones are the Whittington, Barnet or the Royal Free (planning to avoid North Mid which is actually my closest)

6 months emotions 🥹

Can I just say, how thankful I am for this app and for all you mummies out there! I think it's so lovely how we've all gone from 'is this a sign of labour', to 'how much are you little ones drinking', to now questions about weaning and celebrating our babies reaching 6 months old 🥹 This group has kept me sane…

No bump

Is anyone else not really showing at all? I’m 24w 5d. I’m quite tall for a girl and have got loose skin on my stomach from having a gastric sleeve, which I know will play a part in this, but even when I lay down there is hardly a bump. I have no idea where my baby is hiding! I know he’s in there, but everyone keeps...

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)?
