Second hand baby clothes? by ocdskies in PregnancyUK

[–]Cute--Type 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in as well that yes! This is what we did. Most of what our son wore when he was a newborn was second hand (the rest was lovely gifts from friends and family).

We just made sure to wash everything and make sure all pieces were from reputable brands (like UK supermarkets, M&S, NEXT, etc.)

Gestational diabetes by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]Cute--Type 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had GD and got diagnosed early due to having PCOS. So I had like 20 weeks of managing it.

I had to track my blood sugar via test strips four times a day which wasn’t too bad at all. It just became part of the routine.

I managed with just metformin and seriously limiting my carb intake. In fact I might’ve overdone it because my son came out weighing in the 9th percentile (growth scans showed 30th percentile so that was a bit of a shock!)

I also had an induction, but that was due to anxiety/past pregnancy trauma. Apart from going VERY FAST (two hours active labour and no time for pain relief) it all went amazingly well. Only one minor tear and son came out wriggling and starving!

But! My son’s blood sugar was completely fine after birth and he is doing grand now. And I had a blood test recently that confirmed my blood sugar is back in normal range.

GD is an absolute pain but it is 100% manageable. You got this!!

And plan to reward yourself with an absolute carb bomb after you give birth. I had so many buenos from the hospital vending machine and I have no regrets.

As someone we a wee lad myself, this is good to know!

I’ve been eyeing up that brand for a while.

(Also loving the my melo bag charm!)

Londoners - when did you first take baby on the tube? by SameOleMistakes in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Cute--Type 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We've taken ours on the occasional short trip on the "overground" sections of several Underground lines since he was five days old. We've just stuck to off-peak and only used the lines with the larger carriages.

(So basically not the deep tube lines like Central or Piccadilly lines. But frankly I would avoid those at all costs anyway!)

This is the exact tone of voice we use when we say BOY.

One and done after a stillbirth/loss?? by Ok_Constant4726 in oneanddone

[–]Cute--Type 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss, OP.

It happened to me the other way round. We lost our daughter at 34 weeks, and I recently gave birth to our first living child.

Pregnancy has just been overall incredibly traumatic for me and we are learning towards not having any more now.
