@laura1348 I've brought a mattress protector from Ikea. £8

ShiningStarz · 08/07/2020 06:53

@Laura1348 as I bought snuzpod I got their waterproof mattress cover. Ikea sounds a bargain though and think dunelm mill do them too 😊
I didn't get one for the downstairs Moses basket tho 🤔

Laura1348 · 08/07/2020 07:55

@Roxy8203 @ShiningStarz
Thanks. So you think a waterproof cover will be okay?
Why are you never told these sorts of things and you have to find them out for yourselves when it's too late.😩
Luckily just about to get Moses basket for downstairs and that has one! 😳
Thank you

ShiningStarz · 08/07/2020 08:08

@Laura1348 check the mattress dimensions. The. Have a look, I found baby prem sheets on amazon quite cheap that I know will fit the Moses basket. Once you know the dimensions it's easier to search. I must look now too for the Moses basket lol

Second+ time mums: would you recommend a changing station on top of a chest of drawers? I'm wondering whether it's worth it as they are quite a lot dearer.

Laura1348 · 08/07/2020 09:39

@ShiningStarz
Ive just got a Moses basket and stand from
Adsa. It follows the regulations and seems okay.
I've now got to look for mattress cover for the next to me that will be upstairs.
Thanks
Very much.

Morning everyone!
My little one has grown fond of kicking my right ribs - limiting the sleeping options even further. It feels so bruised! Not that I’m sleeping anyway, to be honest 😑
@Chanel05 a changing station on top of set of drawers is fine! I did that with my firstborn. However, IKEA have some reasonable changing units that I believe convert into normal desks/bookshelves - mind, we haven’t assembled the one we picked up (or anything else) yet.

Lilice · 08/07/2020 10:44

@Chanel05 I like a changing unit with drawers bellow, it's great for storage

Lilice · 08/07/2020 10:56

I got this one on online4baby as part of a bundle (£300 including the mattress, cot bed, drawers and dresser) BUT i am yet to receive it and I ordered it in April 😏

Same Lillice I ordered a tutti bambini bundle which said pre order for end July at end of May. Haven't heard from them since and I've a feeling it will be delayed 😂
I really want it to arrive I'm excited about getting the nursery organised and putting all the clothes in drawers!

Chanel05 · 08/07/2020 13:20

@Lilice how annoying! I ordered my travel system at the start of May and still waiting for it 🙄.

That's the exact one I ordered in April too!!!! Was in the sale. I got the whole set.

It came in June after waiting for months!

LatteLover12 · 08/07/2020 14:40

The cot bed I've bought is now saying out of stock too... I'm hoping it's just a supply chain issue!

Lilice · 08/07/2020 16:20

@CNovittBolden oh lucky you! You must have got the last one! Hopefully I will get mine soon, otherwise ill get a different model. I paid 299 for it, and it's still advertised at the same price. Are you happy with yours? Have you built it yet?

@LatteLover12 did they offer a replacement or just said it was delayed?
@MooseWL me too I cant wait to receive it and start organising the nursery. At the moment it's so bare, I only have a bin, a swing and a bookshelf
@Chanel05 hopefully you will receive it soon. Do they give you updates?

LatteLover12 · 08/07/2020 16:39

No offer yet @Lilice it just says out of stock. It's all paid for & it's from John Lewis so hopefully they'll be able to sort it.

ShiningStarz · 08/07/2020 16:45

@Chanel05 I got a changing station from
Argos. Only as I don't plan on ordering nursery furniture until the new year. I'v a build in wardrobe for al clothes etc.

I had a scan this morning. Almost 31 weeks and baby is 3lb 2oz, a small baby but doc was happy. Next check is in 2 weeks so 🤞 for some fattening up!!

@CNovittBolden your nursery is so beautiful. Where is the rug from? Its just what I'm
Looking for !! X

CNovittBolden · 08/07/2020 19:31

@ShiningStarz from Wayfair! 😊

McConnell Shaggy Grey Rug
www.wayfair.co.uk/rugs/pdp/isabelle-max-mcconnell-shaggy-grey-rug-u001820354.html

It was exactly what we wanted too!

ShiningStarz · 08/07/2020 19:38

Thanks @CNovittBolden it's fab!!!
We are still in painting mode!! Ordered a lampshade and that's about it!! I don't plan on ordering cot bed until after Christmas!! So the room is purely for storing clothes and the changing table!!

LatteLover12 · 08/07/2020 19:44

That's gorgeous @CNovittBolden 😍

Love the rug too!

CNovittBolden · 08/07/2020 19:51

Has anyone started feeling like shooting pains in their cervix? Been having a google and sounds like lightning crotch pain

Lilice · 08/07/2020 20:24

@CNovittBolden wow your nursery looks amazing, I also love the rug!

Lilice · 08/07/2020 20:29

@ShiningStarz glad to hear the scan went well! Has your baby turned head down? Mine keeps flipping still, changing nearly every day.
@CNovittBolden oh no that sounds painful! Is the pain constant?

ShiningStarz · 08/07/2020 20:32

Yep @CNovittBolden strangely enough I get them when I'm out walking! It's almost like the pressure is too much!!

@Lilice not head down yet!! But has moved from left side to right!! Think the legs were straight so maybe not frank breech anymore!! Got 2 more checks by 35 weeks so fingers crossed for a turn head down !!! 🤞🤞
