cmb replied. jichi,

I just want to know what are the things you are going to pack? my due date is on Oct 25th, but let me know what really we need in the time of delivery or in the hospital???

One more thing jichi, Im not going to walk (even a bit) as im having low lying placenta. my doc said to take rest, but I dnt feel lightness in my body. sitting in room is not refreshing my mind,,,, m always think about my baby' s health.... Do you have any idea about low lying placenta? If I walk for half an hour will affect my baby?
