Serena Williams is asking for advice ahead of her due date…. on Reddit

Sure, why not?

Reddit’s the best site to go to if you want to lose hours of your life mindlessly scrolling through content.

It’s got everything.

From the scariest horror stories to genuine flat earth discussions, you’d have a hard time not finding the answer to your question on Reddit.

Which is obviously why tennis star Serena Williams has taken to the front page of the internet to pose a query herself.

And seeing as her fiancée co-founded the site, we weren’t really that surprised.

Posting under the thread ‘mommit,’ Serena wanted to know when moms tended to pack their bags before heading off to the hospital to give birth.

She said:

“1 month before? 6 weeks? 8 weeks? I’m totally stalling. But I have a lot of time still…. I think…

Anything you didn’t expect to need that I’ll really appreciate having in there?”

The replies were nothing short of helpful.

One user said that she packed her bag five minutes before she went out to the door. Another said that Serena should remember to bring some chapstick because her lips were “hella chapped.”

Among the other suggestions were an iPad, some snacks, bras if she was planning to breastfeed, and a nightgown.

Serena has yet to respond to any of the suggestions, but seeing as there were hundreds of them, we expect she’s making her way through them.
