Presents

Did your partner get you a present after giving birth?

Disappointed as nearly 2 months on, not even a card. I would have thought flowers would be an easy choice?!

No so I bought myself one 🤣

I had flowers after my first but nothing after my second. But I did make it very clear that I'm getting a keepsake piece of jewellery to match my first and once I finish breastfeeding I will be getting another piece to celebrate that. We have shared finances so it's partly a gift from him.and partly a gift from me 😂

But he's not a gift giver. That's not something that comes naturally to him so I'm not surprised that I didn't get anything

I got an eternity ring which is traditional

He didn’t but I wasn’t expecting anything. The first few days after we got home from hospital he ordered my favourite takeaways though which made me very happy 😅😅

No because I don’t expect it, I joke with him about it but no it’s not something I’ve ever put forward that I’ve wanted in seriousness. Have you told him or spoken to him about this before you gave birth?

I got a necklace with my baby’s name on but I did hint at it 🤣

I didn’t and didn’t expect anything. I didn’t think it was a thing to be honest? I bought myself a necklace 🤣
But in all seriousness if it’s something that’s bothering you maybe talk to him about it. He might not realise x

I just got flowers few days after but the biggest hift from him was my baby boy🥰🥰

Yes, he got me pandora bracelet with mum charm x

Did you tell him that you wanted something? I don’t think it’s standard so I think you’d need to talk about it if you wanted something. I told my partner I wanted something little and sentimental from the baby for my birthday and he gave me a book of vouchers eg I promise to take the night feed

I got a stanley cup and flowers 🤣

I bought myself a ring with baby’s birthstone - he wouldn’t have thought of it himself without me basically asking for it and I’d rather get something I’ll wear and treasure every day than something he might pick that I don’t necessarily like. None of that is a slight against him, he’s an awesome partner and dad!

Nope, I didn’t know that was a thing lol. He did buy me all the sweets I asked him to buy tho since I couldn’t have it while I was pregnant with GD

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️

Vitamins

Little one is now 6 months old and the Health Visitor recommended that we start giving her some vitamins. Anyone got any recommendations of good brands/where to buy these? Thanks ☺️

In need of friends
