Thanks everyone. I'm not sure I could ever stay team yellow. There really isn't too much choice for unisex in any of the shops round here. And i worry I would
Just want to buy boy/girl stuff when I have birth.
Lovely surprise though!

I brought a few bits today but only from Tesco as town centre was insane with Christmas and Jonny has tonsillitis so I didn't want to drag him out in it really. Here's my kids with some bits they chose

A couple of baby grows, I also have the bibs to go with them. A pack of dummies, a onesie and vest. And a headband I made.image.jpg

Not buying anymore till after Christmas :)
 
tinkerbelle93 - Your birth is very similar to mine - emergency episiotomy and forceps with a small baby, also desperate for an epidural next time!


Congratulations to all the ladies on team :pink:! :dance:
 
Congrats girls =) and I'm over here still waiting on my 12 week scan lol... Jel.

I want to shop haha.

SOme of you had huge bumps. I had a 9lb baby and never go half as back as some of the pics I saw a few pages back. Blimey. I want another quick natural birth. I find it's easier to get discharged if you don't accept anything lmao(I do however appreciate that I have had easy births). Had my last baby and went home within 3 hours. The doctor even came down to delivery to do the checks so we could go. TBH though I think they are happy to do it as it means you don't go up and use a bed haha.

I was desperate to get home as we had the registry office booked for the following morning. Can't believe we made that appointment lmao. Woman marrying us thought it was pretty hilarious mind.
 
I love baby girl stuff! The dresses and frillies! Oh man I'd love to do girly again!

Rhi me too I did a natural birh with dd. Went in midnight on Saturday morning had her 835 Saturday morning and went home Sunday by noon! I was so ready to go home. I don't like hospitals! I know some ladies like staying and being pampered but I also know I'm paying out the nose each night so I'd rather go home! Plus well I can't sleep in those beds
 
I do like the girls clothes but equally love the boys things you can get. Unisex stuff is soo limited, there always seems to be a tiny little corner of it and most of it isn't that nice at all. That's the only thing that puts me off being team yellow.

We're definitely sticking to it though! Although I'm worried about accidentally finding out, surely they look over that area during the scan? So couldn't you technically notice yourself? x
 
The idea of an epidural scares me, but I am also a wimp when it comes to pain... I'll probably end up getting it!

The clothes marked as "unisex" usually seem a bit bland for my tastes. The onsies I bought were mostly blue and green, but I think those are both perfectly fine for girls too (while I wouldn't put a boy in pink..)

Click to expand...

If your on team yellow just tell them if you don't want to know if they can not go over the nub bit :lol: they will just measure baby and do checks, I'm sure you wouldn't notice unless baby was showing it off :lol: I wouldn't of known with this one if sonographer didn't go in between the legs but soon as she did I saw the lines xx
 
I don't cope well with pain at all, stayed at home until 7cm and that was just far too much for me. I found the pain horrendous and felt out of control, I can't remember a huge amount of what happened between the car journey and delivery because the pain was bad. Plus baby got distressed and I had a scary delivery with intervention anyway, so I just ignore the whole 'epidurals lead to intervention' stuff I read. I definitely want one this time!
 
I'm the opposite - had an epidural last time as I was beginning to panic, would love to be able to do without this time but we'll see if I need it I'll get one.
Love the outfits Karilay.
 
I've got these unisex bits:

Congratulations on :pink: Karli & Becy!

Cute clothes Angel.
 
Super jealous the ladies that had babies and got to go home shortly after! I had dd without any pain meds, it was a struggle to get there but absolutely worth it in the end! Even still I had to stay in the hospital for so long it seems. Got admitted at like 11 in the morning on Friday, had her at 3 in the morning on Saturday and didn't get to go home until 4 in the afternoon on Monday. She would not sleep in the hospital bassinet, we couldn't get much sleep, it was miserable. The only nice thing was having three decently healthy meals brought to me a day which helped me to eat regularly. Besides that it was dreadful and I hope it doesn't happen again!
 
I was in the hospital so long last time. Admitted 7:00pm on Wednesday, DS was born 10:32am Friday, went home Sunday afternoon. I really hope my labor is quicker this time
 
Angel those clothes are lovely, I need to find more unisex stuff like that. So many shops just seem to stock the plain white or beige-y things, whilst the specific all boy or girl things are really bright and nice.

I gave birth Sunday lunchtime then was home Monday night. I know a lot of people are out the same day with subsequent births of straightforward.
 
I was admitted at 8am tuesday morning and went home on Friday.

I had an emcs and two blood transfusions though. Hoping for a natural birth this time but considering my son was 9lb 15 oz I'm not too sure I've got great odds as far as a vbac is concerned.
 
I stayed in 2 nights with my first and 1 with my second - I had complicated emergency c sections at fully dilated with both of them though (second one I was put under general anaesthetic :( ) This time I am hoping for a planned section so will be in 1 night if all goes well x
