@grumpycat thank you ladies both helpful responses. I think I’ll keep up the usual routine but like suggested if she’s feeling a bit blue and wanting to stay with me and the baby I’ll let her initially- my husband will be off anyway so I’m sure we would manage although she would get bored I’m sure!

3 times I went in the space of half hour before bed last night. It’s a jokeAnyone else just so sick of peeing now?! I swear I must have the comfiest bladder in the world, he’s never off it
It honestly takes some getting used to after birth to not peeing so much. For the first month or so I sit there and thinking.. Hmm have I peed myself? I should need to pee by now surely? It's been hours?Anyone else just so sick of peeing now?! I swear I must have the comfiest bladder in the world, he’s never off it
@Gorbs @I’mThankyou_ and any other twin mums when are you packing your hospital bag? The book I’m reading at the moment says it should be done by 28 weeks just to be safe. Not sure if I’m going to be that organised as I’m still going into work full time

Well no, the babies bag is packed, I've still not sorted mine.Ooooh! Thank you so much! I was looking for a baby show. I went to this one with my last pregnancy and enjoyed myself. Gonna book on x
Has anyone got any good pregnancy / birth book recommendations?
I really liked Expecting Better by Emily Oster for pregnancy.
Oh ok maybe I’ll start thinking about making a list of what I need in the next couple of weeks. I’m not a light packer when i go away so worried about how big my bag or rather suitcase is going to beMines packed
I got an IKEA bag (partner was away with the small case!) and threw stuff into it over a couple of days as I was sorting through babies stuff and deliveries arrivedMines packed
oh a nightie, Chuck in the bag, oh pads, yeah chuck em in the bag. must order a eye mask and extra long cable though
If it helps, the twins have a small cabin suitcase of their own, I've packed a lot just in case. & I'll be taking a cabin suitcase for me too, I'm terrible at packing and will always over pack haha. I've had it ready from about 26 weeks but I only washed their stuff last night. I just wanted it ready so it could live in the boot and be done with as there's not much time leftOh ok maybe I’ll start thinking about making a list of what I need in the next couple of weeks.

Hey everyone, this has probably been discussed before but I don’t have it in me to read all the previous threads . I’m pregnant with my first baby and I’m wondering what your absolute must haves were for your babies if you’ve had one before? There’s so much online and I don’t want to find myself buying things I won’t use or need! Thanks in advance!

For the first time I am the most pregnant woman in this waiting room and I am loving my life
Honestly, don’t go over the top. It’s so easy to buy so much, especially clothes, that never get worn or used!Hey everyone, this has probably been discussed before but I don’t have it in me to read all the previous threads
- next to me cot for the first 6 months. The side normally zips down, so perfect to getting baby in and out
- bouncer of some sort. Doesn’t have to be a fancy one. One that lies flat and vibrates
- prep machine - makes the perfect bottle in under 2 minutes
- mam bottles for easy self sterilising (you can stick these in the microwave for 3 minutes for one bottle!)
- clothes wise, I love my little ones in sleepsuits for the first 6 months. I remember my husband dressed our 6 day old baby in jeans. A 6 day old in bloody jeans. What were we thinking
- car seat with iso fix base. They are the best invention. Just click it in and out. Perfect!
Next to me crib, Moses basket for downstairs, bouncer (chair), playmat for floor, rucksack change bag!Hey everyone, this has probably been discussed before but I don’t have it in me to read all the previous threads
Thank you! Heard so many good things about the mam bottles definitely going to get those! Babies in jeans makes my skin crawlHonestly, don’t go over the top. It’s so easy to buy so much, especially clothes, that never get worn or used!

no offence to anyone who dresses their baby in jeans. Sleepsuits for as long as possible for me!YES!!!Anyone else just so sick of peeing now?! I swear I must have the comfiest bladder in the world, he’s never off it
particularly when there’s not much even in there, it’s just the baby doing god knows what to my bladder 20 weeks this week and I seem to have developed a massive bump almost overnight over the weekend - it's now bigger than my boobs!
However, today I feel like it's suddenly firmed up a lot. Until recently it still felt very much like a jelly belly and I could still bend down etc. because my belly just squished, but now even if I sit too far forward I can feel pressure. It's still not dead hard, but feels like I've got a very full water balloon stuffed in my belly
Wasn't expecting to be this uncomfortable this early!

I know. Jeans are a no go for me nowThank you! Heard so many good things about the mam bottles definitely going to get those! Babies in jeans makes my skin crawl
my nearly 2 year old is rarely in jeans. I just love him being comfy in tracksuit bottoms Also, I will add, if you are planning to have more babies, I would get a more expensive buggy and probably one of those 4moms rockers. Because the last is always my last, I always get rid and have to start again
