Everyone in Scotland gets ones my midwife gave me the form at 22 week appointment, I think they are sent out around 32 weeks so I haven’t received mines yet but they look greatCan you recommend a good sling? Or do they all do the same thingI think we get one in the baby boxes in Scotland but I'm not sure if every woman gets that or you have to meet criteria
Oh sounds promising! Just checked and its not available online atm but hopefully there will be another baby event in the next few months and I can get it then.
we are but only because we are in a new build so only needs a little bit of paint and we needed the wardrobe and drawers to keep his things in just now so just ordered the big cot at the same time xI’m suffering with headaches too! Yesterday I had such a bad one that I ended up going to bed and sleeping for an hour on my lunch break (luckily working from home). I’ve had a couple that have lasted for a couple of days, I haven’t been taking anything but yesterday I gave in and took some paracetamol as it was unbearable.
I have to keep reminding myself it’s all for a good reason too - I’ve had such bad sickness as well so been a bit miserable! Xx
This baby is my first but we’re planning to get a Moses basket for downstairs, and a next to me cot for our bedroom
Will everyone be sorting out their nursery room before baby is born? We moved recently and the spare room which will be the nursery needs to be completely gutted, replastered, redecorated etc. Part of me wants to get it all done before baby is here but part of me thinks they won’t be going in there straight away anyway?
I would say try to get any big jobs like plastering done before baby arrives. You can always get the painting and bits done afterwards.
That’s odd because I can add it to the basket
I always find the Aldi dupes in whatever they do to be really good value for money so had to be worth a go for £73
Oh that's good to know, I wasn't sure if it was only if you didn't earn a certain amount they would give you it, it does look quite good to be fair, think they come with clothes and everything which is pretty generous.Everyone in Scotland gets ones my midwife gave me the form at 22 week appointment, I think they are sent out around 32 weeks so I haven’t received mines yet but they look great
I got loads of stuff in the aldi baby week, mostly clothes and a wee sleeping bag but I was surprised at how good quality it was for the price!
The aldi nappies are the best I’ve ever used and as a mother of four already I’ve tried them all! My eldest is 25 and when she was born I was very old school and used terry towelling square nappies! I used to get some very strange looks when changing her considering I was only 18 as well, but I was so proud of myself using cloth nappies back then.
That is brilliant! I am really up for using cloth nappies - some friends did it recently and got on really well with it. I know it doesn’t work for everyone but we’ll try give it a shot.
I’ve used cloth nappies on all 3 of my kids, and they’ll get their final outing on this next bum
once you find what works for you it really is easy, just a matter of a couple of extra wash loads a week! I really would recommend cloth wipes too, they are SOOO much better than disposable ones! The hard part is finding nappies you like and work for your baby. If there is a nappy library near you you can hire kits and try loads of brands to see what works best.
You’re not thick! Nobody knows how to be a parent Until they are one. No matter how many kids you’ve helped looked after, it’s not the same at all. We are all in that same boat the first time we have a baby, you learn on the job!
Thank you! Ah what a brilliant idea - never heard of a nappy library before but I’ve just googled and there is one in my city which I will defo be checking out (also a sling library too apparently!). Also - on my googling I discovered that my local council will provide a free pack or money off, if this helps anyone elseI’ve used cloth nappies on all 3 of my kids, and they’ll get their final outing on this next bum
I hope you find somewhere new soon, moving with a newborn would be very tough
Sorry I meant the Moses basket not the crib although this looks good too x
I’ve to go back for another scan in 2 weeks and she said if she’s still measuring big they’ll probably talk about an early inductionI think I seen the Moses basket you mean, it looks just like the one I bought from the little green sheep expect mine cost a small fortune and Aldi’s was like £15ish? Seen morrisons also selling one similar with the wooden stand included, I thought they both looked great and would buy them myself, I went all out bought a more expensive Moses basket this time because I am using my pram and car seats I got for my first, so not really spending a lot of money overall
as you are so tired then too you forgot and it’s a nice surprise when things arrive 
We haven’t bought a full sized cot we are gonna get one closer to the time. We have a next to me crib in our bedroom for her and then a Moses basket for downstairs during the day. I initially didn’t want a Moses basket as I’ve heard they out grow them very quick and not all babies like them but his nanny ended up buying us one
We bought ours before hand.
I have had them with all my pregnancies..Anyone had to get a glucose test for diabetes? I’ve to go for one on Monday. Think it’s a wee bit late to be doing one of those seeing as I’m nearly 36 weeks I’ve no other symptoms of diabetes apart from the fact they think my baby is growing quicker than normal. I know their just taking precautions though. Was told 5 weeks ago she was weighing just over 4lbs and was told today she’s just over 7lbs
