Newborn essentials

Went into Mama’s and Papa’s yesterday but found it so overwhelming. Anyone have any recommendations of things we absolutely need for the newborn and what you couldn’t live with out? Which pushchair did you go for? There’s so much to choose from! First time mama needs help 💖

SVT during pregnancy

Hello!
Has anyone ever had an SVT during pregnancy? I have no underlying heart issues and no family history, however last week my heart raised to 151bpm and stayed like it for hours. Had to call an ambulance and be kept in A&E overnight - was given adenosine to bring it down but it was very scary. I’m 21 weeks. I’m going to have an echocardiogram to see if there’s anything underlying. Thankfully baby boy is fine! Just wondering if anyone has ever had this as it’s made me so worried?

NHS & appointments

I had my ‘booking’ in appointment yesterday over the phone and they set up my app and things. I have an appointment on there for 16 weeks but I still can’t see a 12 week appointment?

Is this normal?

People touching buggy

FTM and find that people keep touching my buggy like it’s public property every week.

They will move it out of the way, use it as a crutch, walk by and just grab it for to reason, try to squeeze past it or over when I make a hand gesture that I’m actively moving it out of their way. All while my baby is inside it and usually asleep.

It always happens so fast that I can’t even react. As an adult, I wouldn’t come and touch your vehicle...

Does this happen to anyone else?

Supported sitting

Anyone else practicing supported sitting with their 4 month olds? Mine rolls both ways and she holds her neck pretty strong. Would it be okay to try or is this too early?
