Christmas is a good point Shock ! The shops and post will be so busy it's probably better to buy before. I was hoping after my scan today I might relax a bit but it was cancelled!!

SJ1989 · 01/11/2017 08:23

Ladies I have women up majorly excited as i can now officially say my little princess is due next month!!!!!!!!! Arggggg exciting!

millsbynight · 01/11/2017 10:29

Arghhhhh @SJ1989 I didn’t even think of that way! Scary 😱!!

Bet my little miss will come late though so I’m still thinking she’ll be a proper January baby. Unless she’ll keep me on my toes and I’ll be labouring around midnight on the 31st!!

OP posts:
SJ1989 · 01/11/2017 10:45

Haha sorry to scare you @millsbynight! I'm so excited! I'm really hoping she is here in time for Christmas, got her a cute little Peter rabbit dress to wear for Christmas morning too!

WLMcI · 01/11/2017 11:25

@waiting I totally agree on the sex thing 😂 And yes, I would get on with the shopping if I were you! I know quite a few people who delivered pre-term, my mother had all 3 of my siblings at 38 weeks (and there's a genetic trend to gestation length), and there's a wait on stuff especially around Christmas (everything takes longer to arrive before Christmas). So I am doing it all before December anyway!

LoobysMummy14 · 01/11/2017 17:52

We have most things now, luckily we have had a lot of second hand stuff but I have brought a few new bits. Plus most shops have their baby events so lots of offers :) 30 weeks today and suffering badly with my hips Sad only 6 and a half weeks of work left though!

Waitingonasmile · 01/11/2017 18:06

Ahhhh so exciting there will be babies arriving next month ! I was reading the October and November 17 threads and getting excited.

Yes @WLMcI I had DS at 35 weeks so you would think I would be more wary about leaving it until the last minute. He had nothing but a pram when he was born lol.

Maybebaby2 · 02/11/2017 13:42

Cant remember who posted ages ago about the free baby box?

So I had a look online and did the baby box university course (a short series of 2 min videos and a few easy questions) and yesterday I picked up my baby box from my nearest dustrubutor, which was a children's centre not far away.

I was very excited to see what goodies I would get in it and just a tiny bit disappointed to find it was empty! I got the box the mattress, a fitted sheet and that was it, not even any vouchers!

I'm happy with the box because we will use it for baby to sleep in down stirs in the living room, but I wish I hadn't seen boxes from other places full of goodies!

I think Scotland has quite a lot in theirs? And of course nothing would compare to the original Finnish version! Anyway I would recommend anyone to get one as it is a great little place to put baby safely for a sleep, but don't get too excited like I did for anything other than the box itself! 😂

millsbynight · 02/11/2017 15:14

@Maybebaby2 I thought it was only a Scottish thing? Are we eligible in England too?! Where do I register?

OP posts:
Maybebaby2 · 02/11/2017 16:26

@millsbynight I don't know if it's available in all parts of England and Wales but definitely some, I'll add the link so you can see if its available near you.

www.babyboxuniversity.com/content

This is the link from The Baby Box Company to the baby box university. You need to click on where it says Select your syllabus and scroll through all the different health authority's taking part, listed alphabetically.

Mine was Cheshire and Merseyside so anyone from around here you can definitely get one.

SJ1989 · 02/11/2017 22:34

Ooo I didn't know we could get them either! I think we would come under Merseyside too although some people say it's Lancashire (think we are pretty much on the boundary) will have a nosey

Ruthcarr1990 · 03/11/2017 08:48

@Maybebaby2 did you get the poster in there? When the baby’s born you need to take a pic of them in the box send them if and they send you more freebies out. I got mine delivered the other day.

I had consultant yesterday can I change my date as I’ve booked me csection for 12th jan. xxx

Seven0fNine · 03/11/2017 09:25

Oooh @maybebaby2 where did you pick yours up from?

I did the course a couple of weeks ago and it said the boxes were out of stock! Will have to have another look xx

Ruthcarr1990 · 03/11/2017 09:27

@Seven0fNine you have the option to have it delivered. Mine took about 3 weeks xx

Maybebaby2 · 03/11/2017 17:57

@Ruthcarr1990 nope no poster just box mattress and sheet. Was yours from the baby box company? I didn't see the option to deliver, is it different for different areas?

@Seven0fNine it said out of stock when I looked on the availability map too but I rang to check and they did have them. It's listed as Wirral university hospital but it's actually a children's centre in Birkenhead. It was Brassey Gardens sure start centre their number is 0151 652 1916. Hope that helps Smile

Ruthcarr1990 · 03/11/2017 18:17

@Maybebaby2 I’m in west lancs so not a million miles away.

Yes it’s with the baby box company, it was in the blue zippy bag. Xxx

Maybebaby2 · 03/11/2017 18:30

@Ruthcarr1990 I didn't get a blue zippy bag either, nothing but the box, mattress and sheet. I'm now wondering if there has been stuff left out, I might give a call to the main UK office. Just out of interest where on the website does it give you the option to deliver?

Ruthcarr1990 · 03/11/2017 18:41

Can’t actually remember lol. Sure it was after I had filled it out then I looked at where I could pick one up and at the bottom of the page I’m sure it was there to deliver it. Xxx

Maybebaby2 · 03/11/2017 20:46

Still can't see it lol not to worry I've got mine now, just wondered for others as it might be easier than picking up.

Big shop tomorrow, hope to get sorted with most of the essentials and start to feel a bit more organised!

MegRam · 04/11/2017 08:18

Hi ladies, I haven't posted in a while but I've been reading and keeping up with how everyone's getting on Smile

Two things - DH and I started our NCT classes this week. I was a bit disappointed in the course leader, but DH thought she was good, so hopefully I'll feel more positive next week. The other couples all seemed really nice though, so I'm hoping to build some friendships there.

Secondly, is anyone having an absolute nightmare at night? I am so uncomfortable I think I must wake up every half and hour or so. My hips are so sore as soon as I lie down, and bump feels so heavy I have to haul myself over using the headboard every time I need to roll! I also now have a cold which doesn't help Confused Blah!

Waitingonasmile · 04/11/2017 08:57

I had no idea the contents of the baby boxes weren't standard everywhere. That seems really unfair. I'm in Scotland but haven't applied as midwife forgot to sign the form. We seem to get loads in ours.

@MegRam I'm struggling at night too. Sometimes I wish I could just give up trying to sleep and get up. Turning over is so so painful now and SPD really getting worse. Have you got one of the big U shaped pregnancy pillows? I've found it makes things a bit more bearable.

We must have the first people going off on maternity leave now or very soon? I've still got 5 weeks but the end is in sight. Smile.

Will be 31 weeks on Tuesday.Shock

wapphighwood · 04/11/2017 09:22

Nearly finished with work, 6 working days over next two weeks. Can. Not. Wait! Then couple of weeks of holiday then mat leave from 1st Dec. Smile have v little sorted for baby but this isn’t my first so I have it all in the loft to sort. Feel the nesting kicking in, itching to feel like I’m ready in case he comes early

Seven0fNine · 04/11/2017 10:10

Thanks maybe I'll give them a ring next week :)
Need to go get Emma's Diary packs too!

Been decorating the baby's room this week. First time wallpapering was a bit of a disaster but doesn't look too bad now it's dry. Looking forward to starting to put things back in it this weekend and crafting little things to make it pretty! Obviously the baby won't care but I'm looking forward to sitting in it and organising all his bits and pieces!

katmarie · 04/11/2017 15:49

We’re working on the nursery as well, most of the painting is done, apart from where we cut a big hole in the wall. Hoping it will be finished this week!!

We went to look around our hospital midwife led unit today, to see where we’ll be. It seemed ok, it’s still a hospital but they’ve done a lot to make it nice and calming. Hopefully we won’t be in there for too long though! It’s starting to get quite real now, 10 weeks or so to go, and I know with Christmas in the middle that will fly by!

ChocoMunchi · 05/11/2017 09:56

Bought babies first outfit yesterday as I thought I should at least pack my hospital bag. Haven’t really bought anything else apart from the pram and car seat!

Had a slight panic attack in the shop as I started to look at things and realised we need a bath, changing mat, top n tail tub.... blah blah.... omg so much!!! #panic

I’d been putting off buying anything as we are moving house but think I maybe need to get some basics as we still don’t have a moving date yet.

Good deal on this nappy bin @mothercare
