Mine came in the 3rd day, but the transition seemed slower this time. No engorgement at all. Up to 5 days is totally normal.

[lesleyann]

Hope you feel better hun

anyone know when you update your child benefit/tax credits claim to add on another child, do you have to send off birth cirts again ? I know child benefit you needed to send the birth cirt in the first place but I cannot remember for tax credits and it does not say online..

 

[Blah11]

No just the child benefit number i think lesleyann.

Lyn i hope you feel better soon

 

[ljo1984]

got my home visit from MW at 4!! yay.
on another note how many towels should i need roughly? ive got some old curtains as well which im gonna put under the pol, ontop of the plastic sheet.

 

[lynnikins]

i think DH will be calling Tax credits as soon as the baby is here lol they will allow you a week to get the documents to them

We had a tarp under the pool which came with the pool, 1 shower curtain and for the Birth we used 2 towels..

Rang tax credits they have updated the claim now and will send a new notice out and are sending the form for child benefit

 

[Mervs Mum]

You can't have too many towels. generally people dont need lots but if you are in and out of the pool a bit then it's not nice to keep putting a damp towel round you. 6 BIG towels and maybe the same in hand towels. Keep a nice fluffy one back for the baby

 

[ljo1984]

I've bought one especially for the baby after birth. I've got plent of towelsbut might use the ones I'm washing now specifically for when things are messy then if they end up been stained it wont matter cause there old.

I've got a tarp with the pool but gonna put old curtains on top to absorb water when getting in and out. Don't want any acidents ha ha. X
