Baby things!

Heyy, I’m having my first baby in about a month from now and I’m not too sure if I have what I need…

Can any of you mama’s please share with me what you found are MUST HAVES and things that you can’t live without??
I’m also planning on breastfeeding if that makes any difference in answers. Any advice helps 🙏🏼🫶🏼

FTM to a 7 week old … baby bjorn bouncer ! Lifesaver to be able to put baby down to shower and eat , in my case she prefers it to a swing and it’s much easier to move it around where you need it. Also extra bassinet or crib sheets … you’ll go through them faster than you think possible lol

Ton of burp clothes, white noise sound machine, bedside cart.. Stock up on supplies for post par for you as well.. snacks, electrolytes, things to keep you going late nights

1) muslin swaddles & washable cotton clothes to wipe up spit up, boob leakage lol
2) any baby bouncer that is safe. look for one used to save $$
3) haaka breast pump!!! passively collects milk from alternate breast while you nurse
4) carseat that snaps into stroller
5) a cozy breastfeeding station stacked with snacks for you
6) cotton onesies with the attached footies
7) know what lactation consultant you can get help from
8) a safe baby moisturizer without fragrance
9) sidecar bassinet
10) washable breast pads to stop leakage
11) meal prep and freeze for yourself now if you have the time/energy or set up a meal train with family & friends

best of luck! you’ll do great 🫶🏽

Is this definitely a girl?

Had a private scan which said I’m having a girl💗 only thing is..I saw a psychic 2 days before my scan and she said that I’ll be told I’m having a girl but it will turn out to be a boy…😬

Here’s the picture of the scan… does it look like a girl or could the psychic be right?😭🤣

I have 2 boys and don’t want to get my hopes up of having a little girl

Induction

I am booked in for an induction on Thursday and I am absolutely terrified. I got induced four years ago with the balloon and I am hoping this time they won’t have to induce me with the pessary or balloon as I am 2cm dilated.

What’s everyone’s experience of being induced via their waters being broken? Appreciate any advice or personal experiences 😭

No early scan

I feel like a minority of people who haven’t had an early scan and don’t have one booked in… it didn’t seem like a huge deal in my last pregnancy but this time round it’s allll I’m seeing on here and with others pregnant too.

I’m worried to get one and worried to not get one. Just wanted to know if I’m as alone in this position as I feel?

Saw my midwife on Monday and she even said they don’t give you much information other than you’re pregnant and said your tests told you this too.

Not sure what to do as not made of money but also I would like the reassurance.

Anyone else out there feeling the same?
