We made the trimesters pass quickly!

I took the rlt capsules with Zara but don't think I will do them this time. I got really strong cramps with them. I don't like flavoured tea so I couldn't drink that.
I can't find a snowsuit I like yet Carly, they are all dark blue and I want baby blue lol. Zara had a gorgeous one from Next.Zoe had a really cute one from Mothercare. Going there on sat so I'll have a look xx

I don't think they recommend it when u have fast labours anyway ab!
I think katies first snowsuit was from matalan. I've been looking at these https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Baby-N...essing-Gown-/390647621875?&varId=660157556198 swaddling wraps with legs for when she's first born as it will probably be easier than trying to newborn arms through a sleeve and I could probably fasten the car seat straps under it. Then buy a snowsuit in 0-3 xx

 

[ab75]

Lol thats why I am not taking anything this time. Quick enough without me speeding things up.
Those wraps are a really good idea. I don't like trying to get their little arms into sleeves either.

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but being a new mom I really have a lot lol. Does everyone need a snow suit even if you don't plan to put your baby in the snow? Or will other warm clothing work?

 

[ab75]

It's not a dumb question kiwi. We get really cold winters here. Baby won't actually be in the snow, we may not even get snow. But a lot of people use snowsuits/pramsuits. Any warm clothing and blankets will do tho xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Thanks AB! As of right now I just have those really fluffy suits. Kind of like the ones I linked below. I have some that are closed at the bottom and a couple that have the leg parts.

Will these kind do well? I live in a warmish place. So we do not actually get snow in the winter, but it does get a bit chilly.

[ab75]

Yes thats the same kind of thing kiwi.
Lol do you have all of Carters stock?? Xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

I am pretty sure I do lol. At least I can't find very many things I do not have of theirs lol. Except same things like I don't have all of those suits lol. Just a few pink ones and a white one up to 9 / 12 months. I got one for next winter lol trying to be prepared and not sure what size she will be in by then since she is a preemie.

Riya is for sure a carters baby lol.

 

[Ziggie]

We rarely get snow here either kiwi, and we've had a very mild year at that. I bought a snow suit mostly because it was cute LOL. And in case we do get a sprinkling... Sometimes we do get a couple of weeks, last year we didn't.

I think one might be good to have but lots of cosy layers would be just as good. I think babies are more prone to over heating so don't want to go overboard.

 

[Mummy to be x]

Yep those are the ones kiwi carters looks like a great store!

Hope little Riya is still doing amazing xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Thanks Zig! I think I have one NB, one 0-3 months, one 6 month (not sure how I ended up with that one, I think it was a gift lol), one 9 month, and one 12 month. Not sure which ones she will be able to fit next year, but good thing is we can return them for full price of what we paid as long as their not used. Carter's LOVES to get their clothes back I guess lol. I am also paranoid about the overheating, I read about it when looking up SIDS.

Mummy, yup she is doing great and carters is an amazing store! Almost too good lol because its so easy to buy out the whole store lol.

Morning :wave:

I might try a TENS machine with this labour, has anyone tried it? x

 

[Kiwiberry]

Moring UB!

I never heard of those. Off to google I go lol!

 

[Mummy to be x]

I was looking at them ub but I couldn't quite understand much about them. X

 

[Mummy to be x]

Moring UB!

I never heard of those. Off to google I go lol!

 

[ab75]

Morning ub.
You can hire them I think xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

There's been some really good reviews on them during contractions, I guess it's worth a try!

I've just ordered baby girl some socks and a matching head band, I couldn't resist

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ooh do you have pics?

 

[Ziggie]

Tens machine runs electric current through pads onto your back when you have a contraction. Feels like a buzzing feeling. You press a button when the contraction comes, and notch it up higher as they get stronger!! They brought one to our antenatal class

I'm hiring one, friend of mine swore by hers. Other people have said they didn't get much from it. I'm willing to try it though!!!! Technically the place near me hires them free you just have to buy the sticky pads.

 

[Mummy to be x]

So are they supposed to ease the pain a little bit?
