Arthur also doesn't fit in anything!! He's just graduated into newborn size (!) but they go up to 10lb and look ridiculously massive on him. He's far too long for first size now but still skinny enough... Definitely no outfits here yet!

Poppy looks so adorable and chunky! I saw that outfit in next and loved it!

I thought first size and newborn were the same size?! (As in the size up from tiny baby and the first clothes most people put their babies in). I can't believe I'm on my third and didn't know that. Which is the smaller of the 2? How heavy is Arthur now?
 
It all depends on the shop though, we had a first size sleepsuit from asda last time that was massive!
 
Asda is weird. Tiny baby I suppose to 6ln and first size is up to 9 :haha:

In most shops tiny baby is 5lb
First size is 7/7.5lbs
Newborn is 9 or 10lbs

Georgia is still in 5/6lb tiny baby clothes - even first size are still massive on her. I think she's short and round just like her mummy :haha:

Ooh joey let us know how you're getting on!

Hope your hubby was able to help vanilla :hugs: how're you feeling?

STARLIIIIIIGHT!!!
 
Ah right. My Georgia is starting to grow out of tiny baby length ways so she's worn a couple of bits of first size this week. Definitely isn't big enough for newborn yet. I'm still amazed that I didn't realise there was a difference. Maybe the early days were fuzzier than I thought lol.

Starlight has got to be having her baby. It's her first too I think so it might be taking a little while. Or maybe he Internet connection is broken lol. We'll all be so disappointed!
 
Tiny baby fits larger than it states or at least it does for gap and mothercare - DS was 6lb but tiny baby fitted him perfectly. Why do they all have to be so confusing??? why can't they all go on a) standard measures and b) weight, all of this new baby, early baby, new baby, old baby stuff is just plain confusing.

DH is taking me and bringing me back home for the school run thankfully but it can't be every day as he's having to get permission from work. A mum at the school has said she's happy to give me lifts but asking for favours makes me feel really anxious and awkward. :dohh:




Rant/moan - feel free to ignore this bit :haha: I am so so so sick of people who normally wouldn't even say hi constantly ask when I'm due. Go away people! I don't want to socialise with nosy nosies. I'm being as vague as I can and all I get is haha but seriously, when are you exactly due? like really? take a hint, none of your business!
 
Micah never dipped below 7lb11 and yet he had a couple of tiny baby sleepsuits that fit nicely!

I know exactly what you mean! Even now that she's born I still get stopped a gazillion times for the how much does she weigh and how old is she questions. I love people cooing over my baby but I'd also like to get on with my day. I actually pretend I don't hear people comment on how tiny she is sometimes. I'm so ungrateful :-/

They should do baby sizes by alphabet or something lol. When Georgia lost weight in scbu she dropped into the size down from tiny baby which was early baby. In my head I would put them the other way round. It's so subjective.

I can beat that.. The receptionist at Micah's nursery asked me if I had had my 'show' yet... Umm.. Is that really appropriate conversation in a foyer full of people from someone who barely says good morning usually?!!
 
All the mums at school that have ignored me for a year suddenly want to be my best friend :dohh:
 
Thinking of you Starlight.
Such cute pictures of beautiful little ones. DS was born in summer 2013 which was a really hot one - he slept in a long sleeve body suit and sleeping bag but spent most days in nothing more than a nappy due to the heat - a shame as he didn't get to wear a lot of his clothes.
I think I've lost some plug and have been crampy on and off today - hopefully things are getting ready. Last day in work today :happydance:
 
I'm glad it's not just me who's experiencing this weird phenomena, they may as well say "hi, you may recognise me as the mum/woman you see everyday but never says hello and actually isn't too sure on your name, but I see you're pregnant and quite heavily too - please tell me all the intimate details." :haha:


Tinky_82 - wooooohoooo for last day of work!
 
Wayyyyyy TMI but does anyone know if vaginal skin tags/scar tissue from previous tearing/stitching up can effect natural birth? I haven't had a midwife or anyone check down below this pregnancy but I have an odd potrusion of skin/scar tissue about 1.5cm long just inside my vagina towards my perenium that they weren't bothered by at my 6 week check after my son. She said if it didn't bother me during sex or anything to just leave it... Then today I had a look with a mirror as I could feel it protruding more, probably from pressure from baby. Now I'm worried it'll be in the way or get very sore during birth. Has anyone got any idea?
 
:rofl: omg angel I can't believe she asked you that!

I also hate it when people ask the due date and you give a vague 'late June' type answer and they really press for the exact date even though you've made it obvious you don't want to make it known.
 
I was wondering that too. I remember reading a birth story where the woman mentioned she tore along the line of her previous episiotomy scar x
 
Yes!! I have had texts/ messages the last few days from people like "what's your due date again" when I say end of June they reply "what date" .... why does it matter so much?! Also it's about this time all the "I've never had to wait until my due date" b**ches start to appear lol. I went to Tesco on Saturday and the woman in the cake isle started smugly telling me about how all her children were born before her due date. Maybe I'm over sensitive to it but I don't know you and I don't care.. would u like a medal ?! :haha:

MY sister in law was like "so u have three weeks left"
Mil - " it will be five knowing her Hahah"

I was just sat there like ...... I get on with them both really well but I'm so oversensitive ATM I can't handle it. Even when someone looks at me all sad like "how are you feeling in this heat ?" And they are just trying to be nice I just want to tell them to go away. I'm sick of being a "pregnant" person and want to be "me" again . Does that make sense ? Or am I crazy hormone lady ?!
 
I had an episiotomy with my first. No damage with my second and a minor first degree tear with Georgia in a completely different place :)
 
I had 2nd degree tear with DS .. Had it stitched up but it split again i never noticed til few years ago..I never got it sorted it's all healed and is scarred now like it midwife asked me after I had this one about it because it wasn't fresh I only grazed this time didn't effect anything :shrug: if you mean what I mean :lol:

In next where most of his stuff seems to be from, first size is up to 7-8lb and newborn is up to 10lb. He was 6lb 10 last week so I'd guess 7lb by now. He's verrrrry long limbed and scrawny despite being 7lb he looks tiny! First size is just way too short they were off the shoulder haha.

Everybody who stops me says omg he's so small. So I recite how he was 5 weeks early. I feel like he's looking bigger but everyone just says he's tiny!
