Well this is not how I expected my day to go 😩🥲 I’m being induced, lost loads of amniotic fluid and I’ve had reduced movements! Just waiting for my slot 🥲🥲 I am not prepared at all

Oh lovey, hope you’re alright. You’re in the right place with the right people.

Can anyone recommend a decent pregnancy pillow. Preferably available on Amazon for less than £40? Is that possible? My last one was utter rit!
Early doors but it's the only thing I can think of for an Xmas pressie!!

I’ve had a few crappy ones and think it’s worth spending a bit more tbh! You get what you pay for x

I had a huge one at first but didn’t like it, so I got this one and it was fab and didn’t take up much room!

No movement yet for me! Some contractions over night, when I’m on the CTG it shows me as having contractions this morning, but otherwise all good. Praying for her to make her appearance today and for the first induction to work 🥲

Has anyone got any tips on what to look for / ask when visiting potential nurseries ? We’re going viewing the first one this afternoon. Not sure what I should be thinking about ?
 
Going into triage today. Had really bad left rib pain the last few days and now it's so bad I can hardly talk, sort of coming in surges too. Don't know if it's labour or pulled muscle or what lol

We viewed 2 and I didn’t really have any questions, I think you will just know by the people and atmosphere which one you like!

So I’m around 8 weeks and the sickness has started. Does anyone have any tips ?
Eat small amounts of plain things often if you can! Crackers, toast, green apples etc. Don't force yourself to have a big meal/anything too flavourful or spicy as it can trigger sickness. Have plenty of rest too! Ice lollys helped me stay hydrated. x

Ginger anything, Lidl do ginger shot mini cans.
Slightly sour boiled sweets.
Sipping cold ice blast type drinks of ice lollies.
Eat what you can stomach, even if it’s beige and not lots, you’ll have enough nutrients in reserve if you’re generally healthy and not under weight.
As above, get meds if it’s bad.

Things that have come up for us.
What’s their illness policy? Some people need them to accept the child with a bad cold say, others don’t want that.
Can you switch a missed session for another day/week or do you forefit?
If you straddle school districts and they close for holidays, which one’s term times do they follow?
If it might be one relevant - what’s the policy on sibling admissions, do they guarantee it, is there a discount?

They have their sales pitch finessed so a lot of questions will be answered anyway. As Fudge said, it’s about feeling. The one we’re going with felt like my old primary school so I instantly felt quite at home there. It was also well lit despite the darkness outside. We also looked for more of an academic nursery, rather than Montessori.
