Minor discomforts of pregnancy and of the early postnatal days can be alleviated with a little bit of planning and some 'tried and tested' simple tips. We would like to share some of these in the hope you will find them helpful!

Antenatal Tips

Don't forget to pack:

• favourite CDs
  
  
• socks - whatever kind of labour you have, feet GET COLD!
  
  
• lip salve - entonox (gas and air) and warm hospital atmosphere result in very dry chapped lips...
  
  
• Bridget Jones disposable (or cheap cotton multi pack) knickers - yes, you really will need them THAT BIG!!
  
  
• snacks for yourself and birthing partners
