19th October Ladies ... **5 Births Already**

[Phantom710]

I know! I'm just like... wow.... that seems really close. I need so much stuff still. Baby got his FIRST and ONLY bottle yesterday. haha. That's the one thing you'd have think i'd buy months ago, but no. I had washcloths, but no soap, and i'll probably buy a few more clothes, but he might be good.

I have no idea how many to buy? HELP

hahah im not a good person to ask about clothes .... i go waaay OTT with baby clothes buying lol

13 to 19 weeks? oh jeez! I will have to get a fair amount of new clothes, I kept some of Adam's but only a few bits. and I need some more seasonal items as well, more warm clothes in newborn size (Adam was an August baby so he really didn't need anything like that). waiting till the autumn/winter ranges come out in the shops before buying, though. I got a pack of babygros after the 20 week scan, and a bodysuit with Liittle Brother on, but that's all so far.

ive got almost everything but we still have to order the mei tai were getting which ill prob do in the next couple of weeks in case it spend an eternity at customs. Ive been building up a nappy stash ready for her arrival which has been fun - im a cloth addict!!

The downside of having so much for her is the temptation to get it all out and ready, ie.crib and then you can guarantee the time will go super slow if its all sitting there waiting!!

 

[Mary Jo]

we use cloth, too, but I already have a load of nappies left from my son, so have only got to get a few more (using my council voucher) and a couple of covers. I don't like spending too much, even though it's tempting to buy a load of cute tiny nappies. the reality is that I think my husband will pressure me into using disposables at least while he is on paternity/holiday, for the first couple of weeks, and then there isn't much point having tiny nappies when size ones will probably work from about 4 weeks (depending on baby's size, of course). I need to get my size 1 stash back from my mum's loft and assess the situation then.

[x-TyMa-x]

LOL!! At milking!!

How are all you ladies today ..... v day this week .....

 

[nypage1981]

Now. Think I am the only one in here who has not leaked that scares me.

Hope everyone is well. I am good, up north at the lake house and weather is awful. Supposedly its summer?

Anyone else feeling rib discomfort? I realize the bad part of being short, no torso room. It's so painful!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

ive not leaked this pregnancy hun, i didnt leak with tyler untill around 36+ weeks if i remember right .....it was later on anyway

 

[nypage1981]

Oh thank you mummy. I never leaked with Ella but then breast feeding was a fail so I was worried it was me. This time I really want it to wornk as I feel more dedicated to it. But am also ok if it doesn't! My daughter is very smart and healthy and proof that formula is A ok! Just more expensive.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

yeh true, I breastfed for the 1st 3days after birth then i couldnt anymore, was in alot of pain with it and my nipples (tmi) were all blistered & sore .... so i switched to formula and my little boy is a little brain box so there is deffo nowt wrong with formula feeding.
I think there is alot of pressure on mothers to breast feed when really its personal choice, I tried and it wasnt for me, some mums try & love it ...and some cant breastfeed at all as they dont produce the milk...therefore for these mums the pressure of breastfeeding is awful as it will make them feel like a "failure" when really its nothing they've done, it just cant be helped x
