Avoiding junk, do you feel like this too?

Is there anyone here who fights overconsumption and avoids buying junk?

Buying things is making me a bit stressed lately, just to think about all what I will have to clean up, declutter, donate. It feels overwhelming.

Totally, we've got the majority of toys from family members so haven't bought much. I find my son much prefers random household items anyway to play with 🤣. For myself too, I don't have the latest of everything and don't really buy much in the way of materialistic stuff.

I buy a lot of books for our son, but it is always from a charity shop because you can't lose for 4/£1. Other than that I always try to get clothing off of Vinted and any toys off of Vinted as well. The only thing I have recently bought new was a car seat (self explanatory lol) and Moses basket mattress.

Nope. I love buying stuff

I love trinkets but hate plastic tacky shit

C section

Hi mums I had c section 10 days ago and was taking paracetemol and ibuprofen regularly
I stopped taking ibuprofen last night as was upsetting my tummy but noticed this morning how much pain I’m in without it.
Does it really do much for the pain? I was only taking paracetemol.
How long was you on pain killers after c section?

Induction

I’m currently 38 weeks today. I have a scan on Monday as baby has been measuring bigger but not too big. On Tuesday I have a consultant appointment where they will give me a sweep.

They have advised that they do not want me going past my due date due to babies size, GD and strep B.

However, I never had any of this with my first baby and I’m so nervous and scared. I really don’t want an induction. Has anyone ever been in this or a similar situation?

All I hear about inductions is negative, a lot of pain and most end up in a c-section.

Heartburn and Acid Reflux

Hi! I only got about an hours sleep last night as I’ve really been struggling with heartburn and acid reflux, but last night it was the worst it’s ever been and was so painful.
Does anyone have any tips or pregnancy safe medication you can take for this?
