👣 Due Nov/Dec 👣 the second trimester continues

[peachypetite]

New thread!

Yes! @nearlyamummyof2boys right up my street they are 🥰. I'm banned though as plenty from my last and I did 'the bad thing' last week (which is buying 4 baby-grows from baby Mori as vast expense).

@Amyyy1 fantastic bump 🙌 you are looking so gorgeous, and definitely a pregnant lady now 👣👣

@chubbyhotchoc good luck for tomorrow, will check for your update lovely

@nearlyamummyof2boys I love those wrapovers! I just can't decide what age to buy them in. I like them so much I'd like them to last but they go up in individual months. So which month to give the best chance of the longest time of wear?? I guess impossible to know without knowing the baby's size!! Is it a thing that they give you an estimate of the size of the baby closer to the time? Does it ever actually work? It seems not as people tend to be really surprised by the sizes of their babies! But you'd think after all the measuring they do they'd be able to tell!

Please tell me other people are having days of extreme tiredness, still? I’ve had a 2.5 hr nap this afternoon and could have slept longer.

@ChampooPapi Thank you. I honestly love my bump although not when trying to find a comfy position to sleep in😅

@peachypetite I NEED a sleep mid afternoon otherwise really struggle to carry on with the rest of the day and become too tired to even eat dinner!! I'll have random 10 minute bursts of energy and then be exhausted after

@peachypetite yes! Just napped with DS1 for 2 hours could have had an hour more at least - also still having crazy dreams which make me wake up knackered!

@Hanrora06 I think it's so hard with baby sizes they are all different and grow at different rates - my son is 11 months and easily fits in 2 year old clothes if it's things bigger then newborn you could either get 3 months for just wait till baby is here.

@peachypetite I am tired all the time and struggling with it but I think that’s also because I’m waking at 3.30 every night and am up for hours... been out a long walk today trying to break the cycle! X

I slept a solid 8 hours last night and didn’t even wake up during the night for a wee so just wasn’t expecting to crash so hard today.

@peachypetite I feel shattered most of the time. So grateful to be working from as usually need a 30 min nap at lunchtime when I can fit one in, most nights I need to sleep for an hour early evening and on weekends I sleep for a couple of hours in the afternoon both days!

@ChampooPapi I've actually not bought anything yet! I just have the most screenshots of everything I want in my phone lol

Oooh I’m on a November thread but haven’t come across this one before! I’m due 12th November and I’m expecting a baby boy. I’m 32 and a FTM. 😇.

Ok I feel better that it’s not just me. I really do think there is a misconception around the second trimester and feeling good.

I caved yesterday and brought my first thing. These cute body suits and trousers from H&M. They had some lovely stuff in, especially neutral colours and their basics were on 3 for 2, but I actually couldn't find three things in the first two sizes! I think I remember a couple of you were struggling for little stuff. It's definitely still an issue

Just seen this on Facebook! Tomme Tippee sale on breastfeeding equipment!

Waves @MrsR87 🙌 We will be having ours a similar time as I'm due a c section around then, I'm not actually due until the 24th so a couple of weeks behind though

@MrsR87 I'm a FTM too and expecting a baby girl on the 14th November! Very close!

And I'm 33!

Hi all I can’t believe I’ve only just spotted this thread.. I’m due on 5th November with my little girl. FTM and very excited It’s great to be able to read about everyone’s experiences and advice!

@Jellycat2020 @ChampooPapi

Thanks! I’ve got low PAPP-A so not sure what the births going to be like at the moment but currently baby is growing at the normal rate, bang in the middle of the percentiles but if this tails off I could end up having a c section a little early! The plan is, there is no plan. Not at least until I’ve seen the consultant in September 😄

Has anyone bought baby clothes from la redoute? They have some really cute bits! I’ve bought things for my house before and it’s been good quality.

@peachypetite a few friends I've known have been very keen on their merch, my mother in law actually got me a really lovely quality dressing gown from them years ago which is still going strong. Never got anything baby from them myself but they seem a fairly good sort

@Jellycat2020 33 here as well

@peachypetite in the past I've bought some house bits which have been good quality, but the baby grows I bought weren't great and the print is already flaking off - I've hardly touched them and they haven't been washed yet!

@ChampooPapi thank you so much for the BF advice, have just bought the Medela single manual pump, it came today - all starting to feel more real! 🥰

@danielasummer ye gods that's not good about the baby grows! Ok so they are a no

I remember @ChampooPapi mentioned Lasinoh recently just seen that they are doing starter packs etc with 20% off as well - look quite handy!
