So do you recommend newborn baby just sleeps in crib with no sleepyhead / baby nest thing?
A crib or Moses basket, with just a mattress and sheets. Then on to a cot with just mattress and sheets until at least age one. They also shouldn’t have any loose blankets around them which is why so many people use the sleeping bags.

Personally, we co sleep from birth.

25 weeks today! Lil tiny hand ✋ my son has called the bump Bob until they are here 🤣 anyone else have a nickname for bump?
Look at that adorable little hand!

I'm 15 weeks today and amazed at how quickly I've gone from a poppy seed to a big old avocado. We have actually called baby by her name for a few weeks now already but we have to stop ourselves and just say 'bump' or something when we are talking to other people.

My baby is the size of a honeydew melon on Friday. 😬 can’t believe he was ever a poppyseed! Feels like it’s flown by when actually it has dragged 😂

Mine is the size of a butternut squash.

Which is funny, as I’m about the size of the supermarket housing it.

Ooh snap 15 weeks yesterday so I'm also an avocado! We've been testing out names, a couple of frontrunners but nothing set in stone. Also started taking weekly bump photos but tbh I still just look like I've had too much for dinner, it's lumps atm rather than an actual bump 😂

I have my 12 week scan on 19th Feb obviously have to go alone. Do you think I should book one privately so my partner can come with me as I want to share it with him however I have read on here about having too many scans is not a good idea? Have any of you had additional private ones so you could attend with your partners x

I had an 8 week scan for reassurance after previous early loss, I didn’t want my first scan to be alone. There’s no real harm from scans particularly the routine non specialised ones. The only issue Is the potential covid exposure but I decided I needed the reassurance and was terrified of having my first scan on my own in case it was bad news

I have a private scan at 4 today. It was meant to be reassurance for us (we booked it back in December) but obviously I ended up in the hospital last week and saw everything was going ok. It’s now more so my husband can see too and feel involved. Although he’s a miserable sod today so I hope he cheers up 🙄

Have you checked you definitely have to be alone?
My letter said to attend alone but when I actually called and asked, partners were allowed at the 12 and 20 week scans 😊

He will cheer up my partner can be very moody too last night we bickered about what you put a baby in when they are newborns he doesn’t believe me you put them in Moses basket or snuzpod he said we will just get a cot I don’t fancy a massive cot in the bedroom he thinks I will just buy everything because I am a marketers dream 😆 he then proceeded to laugh at me men are strange creatures sometimes x

Ugh my husband is like this. I’ve read so many books and done so much research already on safe sleeping, breastfeeding, birth etc but husband still thinks he knows better despite doing eff all research 🙄

I had a scan at wk 5,7,10,13,21 and will have another at wk 28. Only week 10 scan was private. Every one of them i was alone, he couldn't go in 🙄 reassurance is priceless.

I ended up with the cot in my room after 2 months anyway because she got too big for the moses basket 😂


And that sucks about your scan!

I said to my husband last night ‘I think I’ve found the crib I like.’ And he said ‘ok favourite it’ and didn’t ask to see it. Wish they were excited as us about things like that. Yeah it’s that type of place but just one local to us.

My partner doesn't care at all.
He doesn't look into any of it and if it's something we need he just goes "Well just get it then"

I see all these people where their partners are all excited, feeling the baby kicks ect. And he just doesn't give a crap 😂
Any time I' m in pain his response is always "Well that's the joys of being pregnant"
Yet once the baby is here, he's completely different
