I didn’t get anything until I was at least 28-30weeks if that helps at all x

i had everything ready/ bought by about 28/30 weeks ago

Me too, I had almost everything ready by 30 week. And even though I had it all, when 30 week hit, I felt (and still feeling) like I’m not ready and not prepared. I would highly recommend start preparing as early as you can, do your research. As I also had to return a lot of staff and get something different, because I realized that it’s not a perfect fit.

I know people buy things by third trimester or by 30 weeks. But tbh its a lot of stuff to buy. Also when its so much to buy its good to budget it. So i have been doing all the baby shopping- i am 21 weeks i buy main stuff whenever i can especially furniture related things as its super expensive. So it doesnt hurt your pockets. I bought nursing chair, baby dresser, tallboy, cot and mattress already. We did gender reveal party and got a few gifts then. Next week i sm going to buy car seat and stroller. I prefer organising everything financially beforehand. For main clothing items i am going to wait till 28th week- so I know what size to get.

I keep adding things to my list everyday and i will buy it by 30 weeks. I want to be ready with all the shopping by 30 weeks so i can focus on nesting 32 weeks onwards. I work full time and have a really hectic schedule so i like to breakdown and plan everything. I hope this helps. Everyone has different ways of doing things. Good luck ❤️

2nd baby

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

Owlet sock worth it?

Anyone use the owlet sock for newborn? Is it worth the price and what are some pros / cons?

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?
