One of the shnuggle baths doesn’t take up loads of room. Keep it in your shower when not in use. Our baby bath had a hook on it and we hung it inside the shower when not showering, and just popped it elsewhere when we did for 10 mins.

I’m almost 17 weeks now and I’ve been wake most the night as I’m absolutely bunged up with a cold at the moment and find it hard to sleep at night but on the plus side I’m laying here all quiet and can feel very small twitches in my pelvis and I’m wondering if I am finally feeling baby moving about a bit 
My baby's second bath was in a shnuggle bath in front of our fire 
his first was in a washing up bowl in my parents shower tray!
they don't know any different at this stage x

I used a little free standing one until my eldest was 1 - she loved it even though we actually had a proper bath in the bathroom
You can get little inflatable baby baths that work well and a really quick to blow up that would work the same but then you could fold it away rather than having the freestanding one out taking up space. They are v cheap too so you could always try it for a couple of weeks and see how you get on! They only need a quick swoosh around when they are little. My babies all bloody hated baths, it was literally dunk, swoosh, get the little screamer out ASAP
Thank you for all the bath suggestions!
Finally got my biopsy results regarding the strange patch on my breast and it’s all clear….they do wanna see me again as it showed some dilated blood vessels but she said likely caused by pregnancy growth or damage to the skin through tight fitting bra. They just wanna check it’s not getting worse!
It’s just the biggest relief, feel like such a weight lifted off my shoulders that’s been there for last few months! Hopefully I can relax and enjoy this last bit of pregnancy now abit more!

My consultant has booked me in for induction I've never been induced before she said to expect a phone call to tell me a time will that be on the date given or before?x
In my experience,
It'll be on the date given.
Because it may not be on that day as emergencies ect are out ahead. So if the delivery suite is full, you will be pushed back.
I got pushed back nearly 3 days this time and ended up going in at 7pm, 2 days later
Really sorry if I’m being stupid, but I can’t see the button for the wiki, how do I find it? 🫣 Wanted to see the hospital bag list again.
I don’t know where it has disappeared to, that’s weird?
My original list is here:

OMG slightly off topic but I asked a pregnancy-related question on mums net earlier (never really looked at the website before) WOW people are brutal on there! I can't believe anyone complains about Tattle lol. Do people just lurk there for the sole purpose of being nasty?! I'm so confused why anyone would dare to ask a question there anymore unless they are in the mood for an argument 
I don’t post at all, but mumsnet is one of those “guilty pleasure” reading with a cup of tea websites. They’re insane (mostly) on there - don’t take it to heart.OMG slightly off topic but I asked a pregnancy-related question on mums net earlier (never really looked at the website before) WOW people are brutal on there!

Depends where you ask really, the AIBU is a hellpit of bitchiness, but the pregnancy boards I've found pretty decent. I joined a due date month thread about 5 years ago and it spawned a Facebook group that's still going strong and is very supportive!OMG slightly off topic but I asked a pregnancy-related question on mums net earlier (never really looked at the website before) WOW people are brutal on there!

Hey @Tom_Nook I recognise you from another thread I visit on here and I also have never posted here! - I have just been enjoying reading everyone else's thoughts and discussions
I have been feeling the same way through most of my pregnancy, it feels like the internet and people around you say you need everything and nothing all at the same time if that makes sense? It's hard to know where to start. I have been trying to add things slowly every week even if it is something small like a pack of nappies.
Yeah exactly! 'Babies don't need much but here's my list of essentials worth thousands of pounds!'. I've been buying random bits and pieces when I see them (sterilising tablets, top to toe wash, nappies) and also started looking for second hand clothes. I figure if it turns out that we desperately need something then we can just go out and buy it and that's the worst case scenarioHey @Tom_Nook I recognise you from another thread I visit on here and I also have never posted here! - I have just been enjoying reading everyone else's thoughts and discussions
