Home birth help ! Old towels/sheets wanted


Recommended Posts

Hiya random request but does anyone have any old towels or sheets they would be willing to give away or sell to me for as little as possible ? I'm planning a home birth but having moved back to the country I have none of these to use myself. Would rather not buy new considering they will probably have to be disposed of afterwards. Condition doesn't matter. Thanks

I had a home birth 18 months ago and am planning another in 7 weeks time - it was far less messy than anticipated! And towels that were used came out clean - though we did opt for the darker coloured ones in our motley collection! Know that's not the help you need but good to know!

Have a great birth!

Hi Peggy, great to hear you are planning a home birth! I agree with Redmeghan - for my first home birth I borrowed a huge pile of old towels and ended up not really using any, certainly none were ruined anyway. I also covered the floor with industrial type plastic sheeting, which was totally unnecessary too! For my second home birth I just bought a couple of shower curtains from the pound shop to protect the floor and sofa, and used my regular towels, all of which were totally fine after a wash. It really isn't as messy as you might think!

Good luck!

    • The problem with the first Southwark leadership election is that two proxy votes were cast, which is against Southwark's own party rules. So that is why the election was re-run. The controversy is in switching to an online as opposed to in person second election. James has causes he vehemently stands for, and it's fair enough if he thinks the local Labour Party is no longer for him. Government is not easy, and there are hard decisions to be made always. London councils have always had a better deal when it comes to central funding, and anyone who travels to the North frequently can see the stark difference. It's that failure to see the bigger picture that I find most surprising about his comments. Sure, as a local councillor he should be always arguing for local needs, but reform of central government funding to give more help to poorer regions has been a long held aim by this Labour Party, and especially since Brexit, where poorer regions benefitting from EU grants lost out.  As always, it will be the public that decides at the ballot box.

    • Why not get a real poodle.  They can be clipped to look like a cockapoo if you like.  They don’t need to be in a show clip.  They don’t shed.    Both breeds would need regular grooming.  I have/had friends with very charming poodles both medium and standard so see if you can make the acquaintance of some.
