Mine are useless too.. can I ask which hospital you’re under? Mine begins with W?
Imagine if it’s the same lol!! Is it in London?Mine does too
literally just outside
W X???literally just outside
We also get gaslit in Ireland if it helps, I've been in agony with thrush the last day or so , even had a small bleed because of a cut and was just told use canesten. I've barely been able to move
I really feel for you it’s so bad. It feels like they’re so dismissive!
and no @Gossipgal.x it’s not ! But how funny would it have been if it was ! X

I’m so sorry your midwives weren’t helpful! Reading people’s experiences on here makes me realise I really took for granted the antenatal care in my area - it makes me so sad this isn’t a universal experience for all women
we have a great community team and also my hospital has an amazing maternity triage line - I spent so much time on the phone to them and in hospital with them throughout my pregnancy. I’m glad the GP is not concerned about your rash, though, and it clears soon!
Sooo… I’m pregnant. Around 5 weeks. My first is 7, and I feel like a first timer. I called the GP to get into the antenatal system, and they directed me to a website for electronic notes. The Maxi Cosi car seat we had last time needs replacing. I know I have ages but my brain is struggling to get into gear. I’m also insanely fatigued, which isn’t helping. 
Congratulations, how are you feeling about it all?Sooo… I’m pregnant. Around 5 weeks. My first is 7, and I feel like a first timer.

Congratulations!! I’m the same as you, I have a bigger age gap and I’ve spent half my pregnancy like wtfSooo… I’m pregnant. Around 5 weeks. My first is 7, and I feel like a first timer.

So much seems to have changed in what feels like not long at all really. Take care of yourself, the first trimester is rough!Nervous, tbh. My last pregnancy wasn’t straightforward and I forgot how hard I found the waiting, and just the hoping that everything will be okay. Ugh.
It’s literally to the point where I’m like… I need someone to tell me what’s changed. I think I’ll join an antenatal group anyway since all my friends are out of the baby stage, but honestly I feel like I need teaching.Congratulations!!

I’m 22 weeks post partum and still wrapping my head around the fact that there is a baby!
Some local councils have incentives around reusable nappies, usually a free starter kit at least. In Scotland you get a voucher for the free starter kit in the baby box. I got them with the best of intentions but… I just haven’t tackled that at all at this point. Absolutely fair play to you for even considering reusables!
Oh I didn’t know we got a voucher.
its one thing I have been adamant about since the start even when my family tell me I’m being ridiculous but I’ll show them
It seems like a pretty decent kit to try out!Oh I didn’t know we got a voucher.

Contrast your family with my Mum. When I told her I was pregnant I swear to god her first question was ‘will you use terry nappies?’
I’m curious about reusable nappies too, I’d like to incorporate 1 a day and build up to see how I like it. Let me know what you find out!
There is a good page on the gram called thenappymarket with loads of info. I was going to use them but the initial cost scared me and I just thought what if I spend all that money and can’t use them. Plus I thought I wouldn’t cope with all the washing.. laughing at the now what a silly reason it was given the amount of washing I did anyway
My sister on laws both used them , one was based in US and one in Ireland. There is incentives here to use them such as a free nappy starter. It seemed like a faff to me and that for my SIL to have grandmother's change baby she had to use disposables as they were allergic to doing it. She also used disposables when they went away from home but otherwise she's all for it . Couldn't convince me personally as I would think it's just another load in washing machine but worked well for them - you can get loads of designs and they are cute
