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!

    • Another recommendation for Maurice Hinds! He installed a new handbasin in my small bathroom, and did a lovely job.  I would absolutely recommend Maurice for plumbing work.  He is very helpful, friendly and did a tidy and efficient job, and his work is reasonably priced. 
    • Sure. He is ideological driven on many things. He was the person that defended the blanket CPZ policy because he believed that 'if you asked most people in southwark if all parking should be paid for, most would say yes'. A completely unfounded belief not backed by any evidence. In the real world, that policy caused significant local electoral damage for some councillors. I personally see his disillusion with the Labour Party as one of his idealism vs the reality of governance. He will probably be much happier with the Greens.
    • Arguably, as regards local needs for free(er) flowing traffic and some acknowledgement of expressed wishes he hasn't been. The 'active travel' and particularly the cycling lobby seems to have got far more of his attention than others. In that aspect, at least he would seem to be far more likely to be happy amongst the avowedly private-car hating Greens. A perfectly reasonable stance, of course, but one which certainly doesn't qualify as 'arguing for local needs'. He hasn't, equally, been very obviously supportive of those, his direct constituents I believe, who have been less than enthusiastic about Gala.
