I know they are ugly but even my partner thinks they are un real like so bouncy my friend bought the ego version and they are not the same it has to be the proper ones I am a 5-6 during pregnancy and I put down 7.5 as a size took about 5 days to come x https://pillowslides.com/products/p...MI8fCs9q6j8gIV2u7tCh0ruw9HEAAYASAAEgKigfD_BwEHave you got a link to these shoes? All I'm wearing is havianas as I cba to bend down to put sandals or other shoes on
I have lived in this co ord from
no I don’t think you’d need one until you feel comfortable in having baby in another room whenever that may be
I don't think that makes you lazy at all, quite the opposite! It's bloody hard word to exclusively breastfeed and can be exhausting so all credit to you. XxGosh, I’m too lazy to combi feedbreastfeeding was much easier once established. Plus my daughter was born pre covid and we spent most of my Mat leave taking holidays so it was simpler to just exclusively breastfeed. and to be fair she was born tongue tied, and it meant she couldn’t manage a dummy nor a bottle, whereas I basically hand expressed into her mouth as a newborn
I didn’t buy one originally but we ended up getting one when baby was about 2 weeks old. I use it in the daytime when she’s sleeping in her Moses basket and I need to go upstairs to have a shower etc. Feel a bit more at ease knowing I can still see her. It’s definitely one of those things that you don’t NEED straight away but good old Amazon prime is there if you find you’d prefer to have one like me! Good luck today
Absolute toad on checkout made me laughThanks all for the combi feeding advice. My head was frazzled over it but I guess I’ll just have to wing it and see how it goes!
Been to Tesco this morning, had a few baby bits in the trolley and my conversation went like this with the absolute toad on checkout -
“Who’s having a baby then?”
Oh, I am
“Are you? *stares up and down* You don’t look like you are. When are you due then?”
November.
“November? It must be the end then, so you’ll probably have it in December. Ha. Be fun cooking the turkey with a newborn. I hope your old man knows how to change a nappy”
Err… yeah. I’m due in the middle but they’ll come when they want I guess *trying to still smile sweetly but all I can think about is the chocolate croissant in my trolley*
“Is everything alright then? With the baby? You’re very small”
Yeah, absolutely fine thanks, baby’s growing just perfectly.
“Well you’ll want to keep an eye on that”.
Yeah, I will, thanks.
“You’re definitely having a boy anyway, by the shape of your bump”.
I hate people. Now eating my chocolate croissant - Pret’s from the freezer section and they are divine AND make your kitchen smell amazing.
I know this isn't the point of the story, but is it a boy?Thanks all for the combi feeding advice. My head was frazzled over it but I guess I’ll just have to wing it and see how it goes!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with your OH. Mines the same with football commitments going in to the weekend tooMy OH wasn’t too bad in pregnancy, didn’t read anything because he’d ‘wing it’ however we struggled a lot even once baby arrived but it is getting better. I even queried if he might have a type of PND but it was more he felt he couldn’t bond with her because she was so utterly reliant on me. He felt redundant, useless which wasn’t a good feeling. He still doesn’t understand her cues like I do so misses things then feels a bit dejected but he’s loving creating his bond with her now she can engage more.
There have been occasions I’ve claimed I might as well be doing it alone. He still wants to play his football (2x eves & Sat) which I resent and is reluctant to have another when we can’t guarantee a boybut I see them, she’s slowly becoming the apple of his eye and he is gladly choosing us over other social/hobby events, it’s just taken a little while for it to come together for him.

We only had one before as we had cats. I just tried to attach a video where we look at our baby asleep, you zoom out and there’s my cats sat on the bed watching him
This is why I don’t tell anyone! People are twats!Thanks all for the combi feeding advice. My head was frazzled over it but I guess I’ll just have to wing it and see how it goes!

We don’t know! I really should have said actually it’s a girl but I think I was in shock! I’m sure it’s a boy but I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of saying I think so tooI know this isn't the point of the story, but is it a boy?
On a more serious note, it's not OK to bump-shame. That's really not a nice experience
They’re the only frozen croissants I’ve tried that actually come out well! Perfectly fluffy inside and flaky and crispy on the outside. They do plain and chocolate and they’re so good. Praying my gestational diabetes test comes back negative next week because I’ll cry if I can’t have these! Cherry jam and a little bit of Nutella makes a dreamy topping for the plain ones - like a Black Forest croissantThat is not ok. Why are people so weird
Edited to add - oh I’m getting those croissants! I’ve seen them a few times but didn’t think frozen ones would be nice.
I'm in AWE! What the duck is wrong with people? I dunno if it's cus I'm a naturally negative pessimistic person or if it's because of what we had to go through to get here, but I plan the worst thing possible someone could say to me in my head and have a retort ready to go. "But they mean well" is not a good enough excuse to talk about someone else's baby/body FFS!Thanks all for the combi feeding advice.

Img the frozen ones are so nice I’ve had the frozen pret ones and they are so nice xWe don’t know! I really should have said actually it’s a girl but I think I was in shock! I’m sure it’s a boy but I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of saying I think so too
