@Jammymare, oh, that is brilliant. I will look into those consultations. I thought it looked like an 'official' appointment. They were seated on chairs, and the man was putting the chair on some sort of thing. Just too bad there were no other staff members around at that time for drop-ins like us.
We do feel very lucky having SIL around, who has been such a huge source of support for us in things. Luckily, on one side (the side we will see most, as they love closest by), they have loads of young grand kids, so they are quite up-to-date with stuff. The other side not to the same extent. But in the end, all of them succeeded in raising children safely to adulthood, so I will just hang onto that idea, and try not to take things personally. (However, who knows, I might be online in 9 months on MN, tearing my hair out over some misguided 'advise' or criticism.)
We just feel quite overwhelmed with everything, though, as there is just so much. Like, I was checking out today one of these 'week X - your baby now is the size of a jam jar' things, where they urged us to pack our baby hospital bag. So we ended up googling what that should all contain. I promptly went online and bought nipple cream, baby bum cream, and breast pads this morning.
