Is there any point taking my stored colostrum to the hospital when I deliver?

With my first I took the lot and never used it as I had bambino on the boob whenever he wanted it. I was also in hospital for about a day so never felt the need to use it. Should I just leave what I have stored at home this time around or would it be worth taking some??

I also ask because last time they messed up storing it and put my colostrum in the fridge, not freezer - essentially ruining a lot of time and effort I put in. I don’t want that to happen again if my baby isn’t even going to use it.

I’m in full on nesting mode but I’m also in full on exhaustion mode. This is my second pregnancy so I’m running around after a toddler which is exhausting in itself. How are you guys finding the energy to start your nesting / deep clean in prep for the baby getting here?? Any tips or words of encouragement would be so appreciated 😭 I feel like I’m drowning in house work that just gets messy / dirty the second I’ve cleaned.

Why did I have to marry a man with the thickest, darkest hair?! Why did my first child have to come out looking like a baby version of Bigfoot? I don’t even need to see the baby that is gestating right now I know she’s going to be caked in hair because I FEEL IT. I FEEL THE BURN. Gonna go chug some gaviscon and feel sorry for myself.
