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!

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
