Let's discuss the things they don't tell you in books about being a first time mom. Experienced moms please weigh in. I'll do my best to remember how awkward and terrifying those first weeks are.
THINGS NOBODY TELLS YOU
1) You will become a poop expert!
2) Your baby WILL have a blowout, most likely in public, so bring extra clothes or a blanket. You can torture your child with the story when they are a teenager.
I will add more as I remember them. Please feel free to add your own.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and just found out that my son has a heart defect called Hypo-plastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). Which means that the left side of his heart is too small to pump blood through his body. It don't effect him in the womb because my heart is helping his. but a couple days after he is born he has to have an open heart surgery, and than have two more in the first two years of his life. finding this out was the worst thing that has ever happened to me and my heart is so broken all i can do is cry :'( this is my first child and its killing me to know that he has to go through all this :'( Please ladies if you have any stories if you have gone through this or know anyone that has, i just need some support or something positive please. and if you can all pray for baby Jordan. He is going to have to go through more in the first three years of his life than most people go through there entire life. please pray to give him strength to get through this. I'm so hurt and devastated but i will never lose hope, this little boy is my life. Thank You ladies <3

So if everyone posts what they're packing in their hospital bags this would be a great help! I've still got bits to buy and keep panicking that I'll forget something important!
Cheers :)

Is it normal to lose or start losing your mucus plug at only 30 weeks? I've heard you could go into labor a few days or a few weeks after you lose it and I lost mine. I'm not sure if it was all of it but I've heard you could just lose parts of it. I had lost a lot and than just little chunks the next few days. But I'm only 30 weeks. Is that normal?
