Found one in my size in asda!!

Then got home, tried it on and its too bloody big!!

Odd since I got measured not long ago and my cup size hadn't changed. All my bras fit, but this was massive. Will take it back tomorrow and try on random sizes til I find one that fits

In regards to underwear, buy a whole bunch of men's underpants! They are the best, they are so comfy and durable, they have thicker material at the front so less chance to leak and they are nice and big and supportive. I've been wearing my OH's undies a lot lately and they feel fantastic, I'm going to go and buy a whole bunch for after my birth to wear around.

Somehow I can't see me fitting in to my DH pants - but the thought of wandering around in his Y-fronts makes me lmao!!

Lol, they feel so good to wear! Just go to your shop and pick up a pack of men's jocks, you don't have to go the old y-fronts - they are so nice right now, absolute bliss, so comfy.

Re bras Asda are doing 2 sports bras for £6 or £4 each and i'm finding them really comfy and you dont have to worry about the cup size as they are stretchy.

And my hubby has been telliing me for ages to wear his knicks but I think it is just a ruse so I will let him wear mine, I am not falling for that

I was thinking, if I'm wearing size 12 knickers now am I likely to need bigger by the time I go into labour and for after labour? Not sure what size to wear. I was a size 10 before pregnancy, went up to size 12 around 20 weeks and I've stayed there.

Now I'm on maternity leave I am going to start on my hospital bag. We only live a few minutes from the hospital, and my sister lives opposite it so was planning on leaving one bag at her house or in the car.

I haven't bought a new bag or anything, we've got a couple of rucksacks I was planning on using. I've got small suitcases (handluggage size) but my only hesitation about using them is that I can't wash them afterwards.

p.s thanks for the tip about big knickers that go up to your tummy - seeing as I'm being induced I'm at higher risk of having a c-section.

Brill thread thanks! I hardly needed anything when i had my c-section as the hospital provided nappies & swaddling, nighties and bibs. We weren't allowed to wear knickers and had a huge tissue paper thing we were supposed to hold between our legs with mere thigh pressure (I kid u not

).

But the main things for me are all for comfort! - lip balm, books, tissues/wipes etc.

The one thing I will deffo be taking this time is a breast pump. I had huge trouble feeding while in hospital - well it was LO who wouldn't feed. I had so much milk my boobs were gonna explode and I was soaking nighties by the hour. The staff told me to express manually (completely impossible and so frustrating!) - trying to squeeze out milk with 2 fingers! So I'm going prepared with a pump just in case it happens again!
