I’m 20 weeks today and we’ve already got ours! Still in the box in the dining room but we got ours on sale so was too good to refuse! X

I’m thinking of getting mine December/January! Think it’ll be the last thing I buy just because I’m quite low on space after everything else now 🤣 but if I had the storage space I’d buy from any time now xx

Ooh which own from Smyths? We’ve pick out (but not bought yet) the Joie 3in1 travel system.

We got ours, but we found a really good 2nd hand deal on gumtree. X

I was going to see if there were any better online deals on Black Friday in late November.

we’ve got the ickle bubba luxe stomp 3 all in one (or whatever is close to that 😂) x

I’m 20 weeks and we ordered ours when I was 12 weeks, we pick it up next Saturday🥰

Already had mine in storage from my first x

I'm 22 weeks on wednday and have had my pram for 6 weeks or so x

I ordered mine yesterday and 22 weeks tomorrow ☺️🩵
I wasn’t sure if too soon but so glad as I didn’t realise there would be a wait, so just bare in mind lovelies 🥰

23 weeks today and haven't done it yet. We were going to go to Mamas and Papas today to 'test-drive' some on the track thing they have there, but we didn't end up having time so might try to go later in the week. We probably won't buy then though, just get a feel for what we'd like. We'd prefer to buy second hand if possible.

We did buy a new car today though, so when we do eventually get a pram it will have a chance of fitting in the boot! Babies are expeeeeeeensive 🙃

I’m 20 weeks & we’re ordering ours next week! The one I originally wanted has been discontinued but I’ve found another I like even more & don’t want to be disappointed if it sells out or discontinues again 😅

I am 23 weeks , I ordered mine from mamas and papas last week with a 10% deposit and they will deliver in December . If the price changes they will honour new price and they price match so not too bad !

I’m 23 weeks tomorrow and we are going to the baby show in a fortnight and I’m testing out prams there then plan to make decision and order one online after xxx

Ordered mine yesterday but asked to take delivery in Jan so it’s not taking up space ☺️

I was about 32 weeks with my first x

Definitely a good idea to take a look - the ones i liked online were quite different to 'drive' in person so it look longer to choose than I thought it would (first time round) 🙂
Now I'm expecting no.2, I'm debating going for a browse again now I've lived with one system

I’m 23 weeks and we ordered our Pram from Mamas and papas when I was 20 weeks after seeing it in the shop and liking it. Will be delivered in December x

How do I end this friendship

My best friend of 15 years and I are in similar stages of life and her behaviour has gotten increasingly erratic and triggering. I am about to have my first baby and she is struggling with postpartum from her second who was born last August. All the “normal” post partum depression symptoms I totally understand but she has also in my opinion made a lot of selfish choices recently.

She is constantly yelling and berating her husband and kids as well as flying off the handle at the tiniest things and it’s super triggering for me coming from a previous abusive relationship. She’s honestly being abusive to her family.

I feel like she always makes everything about herself and her reasoning has gotten soooo misconstrued. She acts only on her emotions and doesn’t care about anyone else’s. She never accepts any constructive criticism or advice even though she complains 24/7 about everything.

She says she hates being a mom and doesn’t want to be around her kids , hates her marriage, hates her job, and complains 24\7 and refuses to do anything to change. She also makes everything about herself including my baby shower we just had. She’s made rude comments to my spouse as well.

I don’t have many mom friends but at this point she is just not the type of person I want to be around because she is being so mean and wanting to bring everyone down with her. Also I am about to have my first baby and just want to focus on me.

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?

Feeling guilty for co sleeping

My 6 month old has suddenly started to do abit of co sleeping in the night. She sometimes go back to her bed but alot of the time it’s out of pure exhaustion from me that I just let her sleep with me. I haven’t got any energy to be rocking her back to sleep and putting her down with possibly failing the attempt. But for some reason I feel a sense of guilt like I’m going to have problems later on if it continues. Someone put my mind at ease please?

Birthday postpartum

I’m due to give birth to our second child weeks before my birthday. My partner wants to know what I want to do but I don’t know what would be possible so soon. I already get things like facials and my hair and nails done and it’s been made clear none of those qualify as a present for my birthday 😅 I don’t know what more I could possibly do 😅 there’s no way I’m going to want to go on a day out 😂

Feel like I’m solo parenting

I’m so sick of arguing with my husband over this.

My daughter is 11 weeks old, and my husband works Monday to Friday. I look after her all day every day, and on the weekends and some evenings he goes out cycling. I don’t mind this, he gets extremely ratty and stir crazy if he doesn’t go out, and it drives me mad.

Lately. My daughter’s sleep pattern is all over the place in terms of the second stretch. She tends to go for 6 hours, then has a feed, then either goes for another 4 hours, or starts to fuss at about 5:30 am. (I realise this first stretch is a dream, please believe me I’m not complaining about that.

My husband starts work at 7 am from home, or leaves at 6 am if he’s going into the office.

This means that he comes home, feeds her once while I’m in the shower, while I handle all of the other feeds/ settling her off at night. I rarely go back to sleep after as I’m so wired. He also struggles to sleep once he’s awake, so when she fusses for her night feed, he’s up from around 4 am regardless of feeding her or not.

I see him for around 3 hours a day apart from weekends, and in that time I cook, he does the dishes and cleans the bottles. We then bath/wash LO, he feeds her, then we watch a film or show until her next feed at 9:30 pm.

He has gone up to bed early to try and get more sleep because he feels like he’s exhausted to the point of headaches. (I am too, but it seems like this isn’t as important because I don’t go to work. He acknowledges that it’s hard work looking after her all day, this isn’t the problem). I have stayed downstairs with her, because to me, disturbing a sleeping baby only to put her in a crib for 30 minutes after settling her again, to feed her and then have to restart the process is ridiculous when she’s asleep already.

I feel like I do everything. I feed and settle her every time. When he can’t calm her down within 10 minutes he passes her back despite me having her all day and him not seeing her.

I love my daughter more than anything, and my husband is lovely, I swear. It’s just a really tough time with her sleep, and I’m struggling to cope. I’m so, so tired. And he doesn’t seem to realise this, because he is. We have talked about this so many times, but it just turns into an argument. Please tell me this will pass?

When did your child stop taking naps?

My son is almost 3 and just been moved to a big kid bed (out of crib) and isn't napping. No surprise of course with the big change. It took him a long time to get to sleep last night first sleep in there too. My husbands coworker said when they switched his toddler out of the crib into first big kid bed he stopped napping that day. Wondering on other's experiences. Thanks in advance!
