Myself and my daughter have been so unwell with flu like symptoms and a day of vomiting thrown in too! I had a scan on Wednesday, twins were kicking each other and I'm delighted I don't need to attend the pre term clinic. Otherwise I would've been in the hospital every week between that and my twin clinic!
On the bath front, snuggle all the way but you don't get long out it of it but so worth it. If you see one 2nd hand grab it!
Also....
Changing bags, get a backpack style, save your shoulders and back. More ideal for bigger outings.
I had a 2nd smaller one that was over shoulder that was tiny but amazing, doubled as a changing pad.
Get a cup holder for your pram.
I bought medium sized soft baskets from woodies and kept nappies, wipes and change of clothes in it for our bedroom and for downstairs. then I used them as toy storage when I was done with them. Handy if don't have room for a caddy.
Also, keep space for change of clothes downstairs, I still do this for my 3 year old. As nice as a nursey is, it's not practical to be running upstairs for changes.
Don't worry too much about outfits for the first 3 months. Invest in vests and sleepsuits!
Also, WHEN your baby shits up their back, don't pull the vest over their head. Pull down from the shoulders.
Speaking of poop, that stuff stains. Don't bother with fancy stain remover. Hand soap with do the exact same job.
Also, when washing the millions of baby clothes, especially vest.... don't peg them on the line. Use the snappers on the bottom to put them on the line. It saves time and space for more! (My mother nearly dropped when she seen me doing that because she never thought of it)
Buy yourself a good bra or at least get measured.
Think being sick has me reflecting on the early days 😂 hope some of this helps someone.
It can be overwhelming sometimes. I know I'm feeling it again trying to figure out what I need this time round.
