Mine is on prescription so maybe you need a prescription?

Any one tired in their second trimester? I feel like I'm more exhausted now at 18w than in my first trimester. Can barely keep my eyes open past 8pm.

There’s a lot of charts out there on what togs and outfits to use for newborns depending on the temp

I conceived the beginning of October and had nights away towards the end for my birthday where bottles of champagne and gin were drank haha, as long as you stop when you find out you'll be OKHi, did any of you conceive whilst you were drunk? Does it affect the baby in any way?
What pram is everyone getting? I am so torn which one to get, I really want the iCandy Peach 7 travel system but the price is putting me off! Is it worth spending more for the travel system or are some of the cheaper options just as good? I'm planning on going somewhere like Mamas & Papas to try prams out so I can test them in person.

Those who’ve done colostrum harvesting - how on earth do you get it in the syringe?? I can get it out but I can’t get a single drop in a syringe

Congratulations! XMy little baby arrived very speedily this morninghe’s doing well so far and I can’t believe how well I’m feeling. Probably just the adrenaline still and sure I’ll come crashing down in the coming days

I didn’t get anything but the injections to take home and as @odetotheseaweed says you can only buy 32 paracetamol or ibruprofen at a time and need about 6 of each a day so I’ve been stocking up just in case. Last time the in laws drove around all the supermarkets for me, bless them.
My issue is I’m happy with a section but I want to go into labour naturally when my body starts that hormone release and that would put me under the emergency team (and baby could come before I get there). I know that’s stupid because early labour can happen at anytime so it doesn’t work like “baby’s ready” but it just seems bizarre that baby is chilling away and suddenly they’re out. I also enjoyed the early labour part.
Again, I know it’s silly but the two days before my due date have negative connotations for me and an elective could avoid those days. But a vbac could mean less recovery time, I’d be able to drive sooner, there are benefits to baby but who knows if I could tear badly or worse, end up with lasting problems. But then the section could have complications too.
Baby keeps turning breech and their head measured big last scan so if that continues I’ll not go for turning and book the elective, I also don’t want to induction, but at the moment, with no deciding factors, I’m just swinging back and forth.

Sorry what were both of your factors that meant you need this? I am currently on aspirin apparently to thin my blood due to my low BMI. Is this in my future???I start mine next week, really not looking forward to it

Good luck! Try keeping a glass of ice cold water near you so you can keep sipping it when the waves of sickness hit.I’m at my mums and she’s cooking a roast for my family who don’t know I’m pregnant and I feel sooo sick god help me

I never wore compression socks at all! I have no idea if it varies by trust? I did have these annoying pump things strapped to my feet during surgery?
Unsure if that’s standard or a new alternative to the socks?

I’ve just ordered a few sleepsuits from Asda! Asda is where I got everything last time, their stuff is great! Just seen they had some white zipper suits back in so got them before they sell out!

Has anyone got an at home baby heart rate doppler thingy? I'm just constantly anxious at the moment so wondering if that would be a good way to give a bit of peace of mind.

4D scans. WTW and Ultrasound direct both offer a standard or premium version. WTW is £110 vs £135, UD is £85 vs £130. You get extras like a teddy bear, video, magnets with the premium that I'm not fussed on and wouldn't really pay extra for but the big difference is that it's 5 mins scan time vs 10 mins.
How long would you want/need? Is the ten mins worth it or is it kind of just going over what you've seen? 5 Mins seems so brief though. I'm not hurting for money but don't want to pay potentially £50 more if it's if it's just sort of a bit awkward with family all standing watching for ten mins.
Any advice please?
