So we’ve got a glo egg but it’s not been plugged in for the last 2 months
I think for first time parents in the first few weeks it’s really handy to know the temp of the room but now we just know if you know what I mean? Our house is pretty warm so we don’t use any blankets at the mo. Currently baby is just in his sleepsuit and he’s fine! in terms of a feeding routine I found it so difficult at first because sometimes he’d go ages and then other times it felt like he was feeding constantly. We’re bottle feeding - not through choice. He was severely jaundiced at birth so was really sleepy and just wouldn’t latch. If I’m honest I don’t think I got great breastfeeding support in hospital (was there just under a week) and being on a busy ward for 5 nights nearly killed me and I felt pretty much forced to use the bottle if I wanted to get discharged. It still bothers me weirdly, not all the time but it’s just not how I envisioned feeding my baby. If I know now what I knew then I would have 100000% persevered with it but oh well! He’s super happy so I can’t moan.
We had a few issues with silent reflux too so I changed his milk from cow and gate to kendamil which is so much better. Kendamil is the only British made formula. We also took him to a cranial osteopath which I highly recommend if anyone can do it. I had a very quick birth which can sometimes be a bit traumatic for babies (I didn’t realise this) and I have no idea what the osteopath did but it’s definitely worked! Sorry I’ve just completely rambled on here
but feeding is great now he’s a bit older, he’s a lot more predictable so I tend to feed him before he goes crazy whereas I found with him as a newborn he’d literally go from 0-100 without any warning hahaLOVE facebook marketplace! Got a new next2me for £40!
Top tip coming up
I bought some nighties to wear for bed, the material is sort of slippery/glossy which I’d normally hate but omg, making it so much easier to turn over in the night. I just slide around haha x

Such a scary name

And then it stopped after an hour
God dammet

You can do it. The first trimester is HARD. I mean, all of pregnancy is, but I think the bone aching exhaustion of the first tri is just the worst tiredness ever. It will pass, and you can make it through x
Try and push through it lovely, first trimester hormones can make you feel/think all kinds of things. Actually pregnancy in general can make you feel like you’ve lost your marbles but it does get easier I promise. Somewhere along the line the weight just lifts
Go easy on yourself xx
Make sure you look after yourself, I know work seems important right now but your health and baby's is 100 times more important. I have even posted about being worried about work while being on maternity so I really understand the work stress!
I had never felt tiredness like I did in the first trimester, sometimes you just have to give in and have a nap for an hour then pull it back at a different time. I don't know how flexible your work is or if you have a manager/HR that you can talk to?
I've literally just come back from a nap as I could not work and was feeling worse for being awake luckily I am WFH today.
me too! It’s fab. Also the grow egg… my son was born in a heatwave and it was always bloody red shouting at me
I’ve got my scan on Thursday and think the scanxiety is starting to kick in the worst it’s also not until 1.40! Feel like the day is going to drag!!!
the worst it’s also not until 1.40! Feel like the day is going to drag!!!Yep I have this - mine was picked up after the 12 week blood test so very frustrating that you should have been told about it already! From what I’ve learnt some trusts don’t test for it. Have they told you if your treatment will be changing at all? I am having two extra growth scans (currently waiting for the first one now!) and have been prescribed aspirin - mine was not super low though - just under 0.4 if I remember correctly. There are some good NHS info leaflets around if you google it!
Ah that’s annoying try and and keep yourself busy (easier said than done). My 20 week scan next week is booked at 4pmI’ve got my scan on Thursday and think the scanxiety is starting to kick in
also annoyed as that means I only get like an hour off work Apparently a letter was sent but I didn't get it and no one decided to mention it until now!! I have a consultant appointment booked and two growth scans, but nothing was mentioned about aspirin!! I will drop them a message and ask about that then. I don't even know the exact figure I'm low by as they have now only just resent the letter! I was worried at first especially after googling it for the first time, but the more I've read the more it seems like it usually works out fine in the end!
I won’t lie I take three hours paid leave even if it’s just a ten min Appointment up the road. I work with all men non of them have children so they don’t really know the process. Then I go shopping or to McDonald’s. Am I terrible personAh that’s annoying try and and keep yourself busy (easier said than done). My 20 week scan next week is booked at 4pm

im so jealous!!! I’ve been told I have to take leave as a) There’s too many pregnant people on my unit and b) I decided to have my baby at the hospital rather than the one I work at!- Status
