How many clothes to buy

Anyone not finding out the gender - how many clothes are you planning to buy pre-birth? We think we are going to buy for the first month then get gender specific clothes after birth. But how many sleepsuits/babygrows/outfits are you planning to get in newborn but also 0-3? No idea what the right amount is!

I’d plan for 2/3 outfits per day - many a nappy leak or spit up to change them out of. If you can wash/dry every few days then you *could* make do with around 10 bodysuits and 10 sleepsuits. And then a few outfits if you want to dress them up for visitors or something.
I’d also say to look at weights as lots of places do different weights for newborn, and you might find some a bit small/big. Slightly too big is better than slightly too small, for their comfort.

Make sure you have a load of dribble bibs and muslins to try and save some of the clothes!
8-12 feeds in 24 hours initially and spit up is common 🫣

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
