    All the trips to L&D and births that have been happening here in the last couple weeks sparked a fire under me to do more (washing everything, finishing the nursery, pack hospital bag, etc) be more ready in case anything happens!

    Also, y'all please make sure to put a pee pad if you don't have a waterproof cover for your mattress! I don't know what the protocols are if your water were to break on the mattress and it soaked up everything. Mine broke in bed with DD so I was SO grateful I had a couple pee pads in place.
    Did you have them under the sheet? How did you keep them in place? I have a mattress cover in my cart, maybe I should just order that. Ooh, should I put one in the car?!

  • @nda_roxybabe We put one under the fitted sheet and had a few in both cars.

  • @nda_roxybabe I put mine under the sheet. I have ivory sheets and the edge of the pee pads are blue so I can kind of see through a little bit, so I can see when I need to adjust if needed. I overlapped two or maybe three? just to be safe.

    The car isn't a bad idea! Or at least keep it handy for the ride to the hospital if your water breaks on its own. Now I'm thinking about my couch.. I really like that couch.. Haha


  • Where does one buy pee pads? In target? What section? Haha I feel silly even asking these questions.  
  • @pshaortao @nda_roxybabe I have a brand new mattress so we put a zip cover and a waterproof pad on it because it's under warranty and can't have any stains if we ever have a claim. The reason I doubled up is not necessarily in case my water breaks but because I had an oversupply issue while BF DD and would just leak everywhere constantly so we're covered this time! I already have another waterproof sheet on my "to buy for baby" list just for the couch because last time we had a leather couch and I would literally have a puddle to mop up every time she fed so this time we have a fabric couch and do not want to deal with having to clean it constantly. 
  • @pshaortao I didn't think of the couch! I actually wouldnt be that sad about the bed, but we recently got a beautiful red sectional and I would be crushed to ruin it!

  • I was also told to use pee pads in the car after delivery to catch anything. So bed, couch, chairs and car. Luckily we have a large pack left over from puppy days.

    Puppy potty training pads! Pet section.

    I bought mine in the inconstinence/adult diaper area as well. I plan on keeping one in my car, one in h's car, and on the bed

    eta. I also have some for after in case of leaking at night.

  • @Icarriedawatermelon I used incontinence pads in the pharmacy section near depends. They were much larger then the doggie pee pads we had.

  • @Icarriedawatermelon Amazon also has them. There are different sizes for different dogs.. they probably also have the incontinence pads there too. 
  • Stuck in a box...second time this week! Congrats, @SWoodd2012 , Henry is ADORABLE!! Can't wait to hear the story if/when you are ready to share!

    @nda_roxybabe , I just made the switch out of my normal bras this week because they were so uncomfortable. I'm wearing sports bra-like (more like just soft without underwire) nursing bras right now...no shame. I'm small chested, so they are plenty supportive. However, I catch the strap peeking out and I'm like "wtf is this super wide monstrosity!?"

  • I bought a mattress protector. I definitely didn't put pee pads anywhere last time. I read somewhere that 10% of women actually have their water break on their own. I have no idea if this is true, but I'm just meh about it. 
  • @bacorrea That's the statistic I remember learning in our birthing class last time. I know it happens but I'm not as worried since mine didn't until the Dr broke it at 9cm. But still gonna be prepared for that reason and the inevitable milk puddles! We also put puppy pads down on the changing pad so we didn't have to wash the covers as often and that helped too!
  • @SWoodd2012 Congratulations!! He's lovely! Would love to hear more about his arrival.
  • @ShadeofGreen816 thanks for sharing! We ordered a king bedroom set. I'd hate to ruin something so new. Just ordered a cover :)


  • @ShadeofGreen816 we are actually getting a new king bedroom set tonight! I put the cover on my list for Amazon :)

  • @emilyalso Your scaring me for little boy pee/poops! DD1 and DD2 never made enough mess on the changing table that I would feel the need for a pee pad!

  • I ordered my pee pads from amazon ladies!  Woohoo!  I got a big one for the bed and a few smaller ones to keep in our cars.  So glamorous!! 
  • Sorry I've been MIA this week - I scanned through, but I was about 6 pages behind so I'm not going to reply to everything. 

    Big congrats to @SWoodd2012!!!

  • Pee pads have been on my to-buy list for months now, every since @pshaortao mentioned them before. Now with surprise births at 35 weeks (congrats @SWoodd2012!), I'm feeling like I should get these things earlier than I anticipated! I haven't packed my hospital bag yet either.
  • I've been reading and loving posts lately (been really sick and too lazy to respond but here we go) 

    @SWoodd2012 congratulations mama! 

    @mcvgal hope all is well :) 

    @michelle59-2 Welcome!!!!

    @LilMissCrafty yay for a pass! 

    @CherryBananas I had a fuzz with my first pregnancy but it went away months later (not sure how long it took though!!)

    DH and I bought a new bed back in June and invested in a waterproof mattress protector! DD has been sick and we were laying in bed and she threw up all over our bed luckily we had it,that thing is magic and totally worth the money! Now I'm thinking I need puppy pad for the car just in case.
