Has anyone else had a numb bump? 34+2 and the skin at the top of my bump is so numb all day, like pins & needs to touch 🫣 Nothing to worry about according to Google, just the skin stretching but feels sooooo weird

Thank you! I'm eyeing up a snuzpod 4 for £50. Next thing will be a bottle sterilising machine thing but I've done zero research yet on which one I think would be best.

I’d be doing nursery furniture too but think we’re going to finance new.
If you’re going to spend a bit, get a decent size wardrobe that’ll see them through. Mini kids ones really don’t last long in my experience for the money, always needed more outfit hanging space.
It depends how much drawer space you have but stuff like pram suits and puddle suits take up loads. Then if you want to put their sleep bags, blankets, bed sheets, muslins, change mat covers, hats, booties, hooded towels, etc in their room too you quickly fill the drawers with non clothes type stuff.

Just going to put it out there that I hope everyone who’s done that AI app cancelled their trial, or does now. I’m gonna look like a fraud who’s made that app a load of money today

Definitely worth considering thank you. I have considered doing the Ikea Hemnes 6 drawers as I think they look nice, but it’s a fair whack from Ikea new and my issue with buying them from FB is we don’t have a van or anyone with one, so getting one sorted would basically cost the difference. Also I did ideally want all my stuff to be uniform in a light oak colour. It’s my last big headache to deal with. Also a really good point on where am I putting non-clothing baby stuff. Our house is shocking for storage.

I did toward the end of my first pregnancy, felt like a combination of burning and numbness, I used to get my husband to stand behind and lift bump a little to ease it
You’ve reminded what’s to come second time round
 
I’ve seen a baby bjorn bouncer on marketplace for £80 so don’t know whether to take that or just get a new one. My MIL keeps moaning at us to send her a list of things we need, but I think we have pretty much everything. My husbands gran runs a secondhand thing in a little church and someone she knows has given her a brand new swing, she’s kept that aside for us but have no idea which one it is.

one thing on my list is a changing bag! We just used a cheap Aldi one last time, I don’t know what to get this time.

My induction has been cancelled 2 days in a row now, 2 days sat in hospital all day with a cannula in my hand for nothing. So fed up and down now but trying to picture my baby girl and this time next week it will all be forgotten hopefully 🫣

Ah bless you you’ve been waiting so long. Soon she’ll be here and all of this waiting will be a distant memory x

I’m glad you said this! We were looking at nursery sets and couldn’t believe how small all the wardrobes were, they won’t last long or store much! So we ended up just going for a 3 door normal wardrobe and matching chest of drawers which will do him as he gets older and it’ll be easy to find a cot that goes well with it!

Oh no how annoying. I hope you’re doing okay, just a few more days and baby girl is here!

We didn’t buy a baby wardrobe either - I’m going to get fitted at some point and then have the drawers

16 week midwife appointment checked off the list my blood pressure reading was much better and no sign of protein in urine yet so hoping that means things will be ok (I have high BMI so I’m always a bit wary of appointments and something being off kilter). Heard baby on the Doppler too. I just want someone to scan/doppler me every day

when did you receive your appointment? I’m 13 weeks and still not had mine through yet but I go on holiday in 3 weeks!

I normally book my midwife appointment at the previous one so I would have booked 16 (I was 17) at my booking appointment.

Have you checked online notes ?

Yes I booked in my 16 week one at my 10 week appt, and today booked in the next one, and so on. I’d definitely call and ask for it to be confirmed as there are checks they need to do at each stage and if you need to be referred to any other depts it can take weeks!

Yes! But also its videos of nothing happening cos as soon as I get my phone out he stops kicking

Mine decides not to kick whenever I get my phone out or whenever my partner tries to feel. So I end up deleting a load of videos that I try and take! Little monkey!

im under community so waiting for them to contact me
Is there a number you can call? They gave me my 16 week appt at my booking appt.

I'm having a panic about maternity leave. I want to take 12 months off but I think I'll have to go back after 9 and already (at only almost 13 weeks pregnant), I feel sad.
