the snoring is a side effect of being pregnant, the hormone relaxin in the body means that nasal passages are floppier, vibrate more and cause snoring, I used to wake myself up it was so bad...poor poor ladies who had to share a ward with me...def go with the ear plug suggestion !!

Water bottle with a squirty top - fussing with a bendy straw is too much to ask when in labour - partner can just squirt it into your mouth; you don't even have to suck!


Camera


Flannel


Pillow


Rubber flip flops for showering in


Twice as many maternity pads as you think you'll need

Champange!! My best ever present pre birth were a pair of silver champange flutes so that they wouldn't break in my hospital bag (bought for me by a friend who knows me well!)


It was the most exhilerating experience of my life and I loved celebrating the new bundle of joy into my life with my brilliant midwives.


Food as other have said was important (my husband said he would take care of the food for the hospital bag and yet the only thing he thought to pack were after eights!! I had to eat the midwife's lunch!! It's not as if he didn't have any time to prepare either - I was 9 days overdue!!)


Mittens for your baby (attached to the babygrow is best so they don't fall off) as their tiny nails can be sharp.

I got lost going to the hospital for the birth of my son,I had lived in the area for about 10 years but went all Frank Spencer at the roundabout by The Elephant castle



"Ohhh betty......I'm lost" as we drove through the antique market at Bermondsey.



Son arrived safe & well though.

    • Niko is my go to plumber - he's always friendly, reliable and very good at thinking outside the box for finding solutions. He did have his phone stolen recently and was on a brick phone, so if you tried Whatsapping him, he won't have received it yet but he should have a new smart phone by now. He always gets back to you promptly and is full of good advice and always up for a chat 🙂 Niko - 07818 607583 -  highly recommended!
    • Another recommendation for Niko. He arrived in 10 minutes of me calling him and successfully fixed my annoying dripping tap! He did mention a problem with his phone, think it was stolen, but he is now available on 07818 607583 
    • Well, what a huge surprise! So, while the council digs up local footpaths to plant trees and 'green' the roads, it simultaneously offers up our parkland to private hire for a further extended period of annual damage.  It is hard to see from the map, but it looks as though the footpath that was formerly available to walk along the length of the event site of old will now also be partially used up by the new footprint, it looks like it will be partly roped off? I love how the final council report advise that 'while locals will be unable to use this nicer part of the park for a month ( and actually much of summer as it all gets churned up and has to be reseeded) that this is fine as they can just use the Common instead.    It feels wrong that the nicer part of the park is given over for festival use. I do not buy that, as has been stated, the Common is just not big enough for the Gala event.
    • No sympathy, collect rain water, reuse grey water from the house.  Plant drought gardens.  Have yellow grass in the summer, it will turn green again,.  Not sure why on earth we have this term hard working families - suggests that everyone else is lazy.  Kids cost money and that can continue until they are well into adulthood!  You make your own choices, and it is right that if you use more water you pay more.  I expect most of us have cut our water usage since going onto a meter.
