Must-haves for first birthday?

If you have a low budget due to your financial situation, what are your must-haves if you're throwing a party of sorts for your baby?
Gifts? If so, just one? What kind?
Smash cake or something similar?
Cake/ice cream for guests?
Decor? If so, what kind?

I know I'd like to get at least one gift, and I know Christmas will be here in no time, we might be a bit better off by then.
As far as decorations, I was thinking maybe balloons and streamers. I'd also like to have some pictures of him throughout the year up if I can, maybe clothespinned to the steamers.
I'd like to do a smash cake, maybe just a cupcake out of a batch or two. I wanted to also do chocolate covered pretzel sticks and a fruit tray at least, but I'm on the fence about those.
We are doing a Tigger theme

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?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
