Birthday Ideas

A bit of a random one but I'm rubbish at this so hoping for some good ideas.

It's my birthday in a couple of weeks and people have been asking me for ideas of what I want but I have no clue! I don't want anything for the baby because I want to be a bit selfish and have something for me but after that I draw a bit of a blank.

Any ideas would be great

Personally I would either ask for vouchers for clothes shops I like then you can get bits for yourself either now or post baby!
Or maybe a pregnancy massage/spa voucher? xx

Maybe a voucher for a pregnancy massage, some suggest waiting until you’re at least 37 weeks to have one as it can induce you so will be something nice to look forward to! Some comfy maternity clothes or some self care/pamper bits are good too to give yourself a bit of TLC x

Thank you all! Something like a pamper or a massage sounds perfect.
I know it sounds really childish to want something for me but with my son I remember being given baby clothes and thinking how it wasn't really for me and it was months before I could use it

Aaah my birthday is in October and my plan is to ask for nice pjs, comfies or like trackies and dressing gown 😂. I’ll likely be in them a lot for the next few months so would like to feel nice in something newish 🤗

@Christina thats a good idea - will have a look and see if there's anything online I like (hardly any shops seem to stock maternity in store anymore)

yeah or if they do it’s so boring! I’ll probably just ask for big sizes to wear after x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
