'You Make My Dreams Come True' by John Oates
I love this, it’s one of “my” songs. My LO even started bopping when it came on TV the other day.
However, because I didn’t have anything with my first I don’t want something too “I’ve waited my whole life” vibes. Otherwise I’d probably have Dixie Chicks - Lullaby 🤍

This is sooooo cute!! If we picked our sons fav song to give birth to it’d be wind the bobbin up or the hokey cokey 🤣
The hokey cokey could've been a good one to be fair, surgeons could've had a laugh with that, "take the left leg out" 😂😂

I’ve bought some cellular blankets, but having the same panic as I really don’t feel comfortable using them at night even though I know they’re safe. I’ve checked and my sleeping bags are safe from 9lbs.

there’s some really handy guides online about temperature and the corresponding outfit/tog sleeping bag

I have some of them and although they have holes mine still feel kinda thick :/ also wrap baby in that or tuck tightly into the bed :unsure: im stressing now o_O
 
I just asked my partner what he'd pick and he picked A Sky Full Of Stars, but the version from Sing 2 cos my 2 year old sings it all day long and asks for it on in the car constantly. I said but that's his song, and my partner said yeah but he can't be there so I'd want him involved.

BRB just crying my eyes out 😂
This is cute 🥺

But by this reckoning that has me giving birth to the Spidey theme tune 😅 not as cute as the choices up thread.

The reviews aren’t great because they say they grow out of it very quickly (info says 12lbs) but only £10 today for anyone who wants to try a swaddle.

There’re a few Winnie the Pooh bits, outfits and a massive Bio Oil in there today too but no other major bargains.

My little girl was born in June 22, our house is already super hot she just wore a vest and sleepsuit at first (no blanket/bag/swaddle) and she was a few weeks old during the 40 degree heatwave that year, so at night was literally just in a vest and at one point a nappy because we were all dripping 🥲

they are expensive considering how quickly they grown out of them, but Love To Dream do a newborn size swaddle sleepbag which is suitable from 5lbs-8.5lbs. (They also do summer togs)

We used them with our first and loved them but I know they don’t work for everyone!

morning! Sorry as I seem to only be asking health advice here 😂

this time I have sinusitis and a sore throat, which keeps giving me nose bleeds and the nose bleeds make me sick 😭 does anyone know of anything you can take for a blocked nose or sinusitis at all please?

I’m going to try and build up a pregnant woman survival kit because I keep getting smacked with headaches, sickness and over heating too 😭

Oh love there is so much that we have to endure while pregnant that just never gets spoken about.
Make yourself hot honey and lemon drinks and also try and steam it out. I have a cheap little face sauna thingy from argos but I'm sure putting your face over a big bowl of hot water with a towel over your head would work just the same, maybe with some drops of pregnancy friendly essential oils in it.

I hope you're feeling better soon, nothing worse than being poorly but not being able to pop pills like normal to help cure it x

it’s not glam is it?! I seem to get over one thing and get something else so I want to be prepared! I’m hoping to recover quickly as possible as I’ve only just about stopped bleeding after my scare and I worry coughing or stress could start it up again as it went on for around 2 weeks 😢

thank you so much for the advice, I’ll give that a try! X

First scan this morning 😬 not as nervous as I thought I’d be, more worried about getting there on time and finding where we need to go, that might change as the time gets closer 🙈

What pregnancy tracking apps do people use? Ones that compare baby's current size to fruit/animals and give developmental updates?

I use Flo and Premom cos I used them for tracking when we were TTC. I don’t look at them much though which is soo weird, when I was first pregnant I was totally obsessed, it’s funny how things change!

I quite like the bounty one, and then I get development emails from Pampers too.

I use one that's call Pregnancy (two white feet on a green background). Shows me fruit each week, along with mum and baby developments. Tbh I check it only when I get the notification of the new week and send the screenshot of the fruit to my husband and mum. I do like getting the notification though as it comes in the middle of the day when I'm in the office and makes me feel really happy.

Has anyone bought an all in one tight pregnancy jumpsuit or romper? I'm looking for both but want it in a stretchy soft sports type material and not ribbed. Primark have the jumpsuit but the sizing is off :-(
