Questions Questions & MORE Questions lol

I'm a Ftm in super mad They canceledmy Dr Appt. So I couldn't ask my Dr all my questions. By the way I'm 36 weeks.
1. When is it to late to get an epidural at the hospital. When your how many centimeters dilated??
2. Do hospitals provide hats for the baby during our stay?
3. I'm having a baby boy and I will be getting him circumsized & super nervous about changing his diapers. I don't want to hurt him, I'm guessing the nurses will help me with all that ?
4. Question for you ladies. Who will you be having in the delivery room with you?? I'm still undecided of course I want my boyfriend but I'm thinking us being both first time parents It might be nice to have some more support. (My mother passed away so I'm not sure who I want in there)
5. What else can I do to ease up these back pains. I can't take a warm bath in relax because it is way to hard to get back up! Lol it takes me a long while.
6. Also are you taking different size outfits for your baby at the hospital? (It just seem like these newborn clothes going be really tight on my baby. I just have a feeling my baby is going to be big)

Bring a 0-3 onesie to the hospital. My hospital would not let me dress my daughter in anything beside hospital clothes while we were there to help confusion with visiting babies and new ones. I can't remember at what point I had epidural however I had three bouts of the medication they give and I still had full control of my legs. I didn't feel anything however at my hospital they didn't give a restriction on how far dialated. Also bring someone who is respectful of you, knows you inside and out. My Husband Was pod Because I had My Step mom in the delivery room and not his mom. Personally I don't like my mil, who does, but she's also useless. A best friend who is okay with seeing your innards is a good choice. Also there can be restrictions on how many you can have. The nurses treat new mom's as what I'd like to think as uneducated because they teach you everything. I loved all the help I got breastfeeding. The hospital should provide a little uniform for them :)

1. It varies by hospital and doctor so you'll want to ask the doc as soon as you go into L&D before labor really gets underway
2. Yes, mine did and I think most do.
3. Yes, after the procedure they will give you instructions on how to care for it and clean it, etc.
4. IDK yet for myself. Maybe his mom or one of your sisters? Anyone you are close with that can help keep you calm in a stressful situation would be ideal.
5.Exercising or yoga maybe. It doesn't ease up for some women, but hang in there, it'll all be over soon!
6. I'm having a girl so I'll just be taking one newborn size dress. If you think your baby will be big or small I would just say go with a newborn size and then either one size up (0-3 months) if you think baby will be bigger or one size down (premie) if you think baby will be smaller.

Hope these help! :)
