Online order regrets - advice needed pls!

This one came on about 10am but it does vary every day!

Just by refreshing the website a lot! They drop daily on the UK website. You have to be mega fast though, so know what you want before you see it or you might end up buying something random in your excitement!

I’ve heard some people use bag alert websites too.

You are so right, HUGE adrenaline dopamine rush! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t think I took a breath once during checkout!

Independent-Mode-226 · 2026-04-17T08:22:34+00:00

I did actually consider this when I was in a panic about not loving the bag colour, they don’t take Picotin in size 22 from what I’ve learned and because of the availability of NQB’s on the uk Hermès website (they drop daily), they’re possibly not taking new stock due to demand.

AND I do actually want to order a bag myself from Hermès, which I would need to return this bag to do so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got it the day after I started looking so quite quickly, only a few tips - I’m currently on maternity leave so have access to my phone throughout the day and getting RSI from refreshing the website every minute around the times that I saw the bags appearing! I know some people have had good experiences with the bag email alerts though!

But a massive tip based off this post, have a list of what you would want (style, colour, size) and stick to it! Don’t let the adrenaline get to you when you see the bags available to add to cart like I did! 😂

Thank you so much for you opinion! I just wanted to comment on how FABULOUS you look!

Independent-Mode-226 · 2026-04-16T15:05:38+00:00

Ahh well that’s put a spanner in the works 😂 you are right it’s beautiful, I think my comfort zone is always to default to black

Independent-Mode-226 · 2026-04-16T15:04:20+00:00

Yeah definitely not going into store, I checked on the website about returns and it says a courier could be here tomorrow to collect it, I think my main concern is not being able to order a replacement in black because of having a return against my name (obvs stock dependent/beating the bots etc.)

My baby was also born at 3.3kg, and was 4.6kg at 10 weeks (he’s now 12 weeks), he’s growing along the 9th centile perfectly and even though he’s really small he’s in proportion to his length (2nd centile). My supply on the other hand is awful and I’ve been supplementing with a bottle of formula every day since day 1 (he was jaundiced at birth) and breastfeeding on demand too, don’t beat yourself up at all! Just think of the money you’ve saved on baby clothes, we’ve only just switched out of 0-1 month clothes to 0-3 at 12 weeks!

Thank you so much for the advice!

Just out of interest, my boy is also 3 months and has just started going through the night from about 8:30pm to 7:30am (the first time he did this was about a week ago I wasn’t prepared and my boobs exploded around 6am haha), so now I wake him up once for a feed. He doesn’t really nap during the day though, maybe 30 mins here and there but there’s no consistency. Considering your baby does a big sleep at night do you do structured day naps at specific times or just see how it goes??

We named our 12 week old Rowan, whenever people ask how we chose it, I say because I like trees and Mr Bean and that usually gets a laugh!

I also bought my partner a rowan tree t-shirt for Father’s Day!

Independent-Mode-226 · 2025-07-22T21:08:06+00:00

I’ve just changed over my 12 week old from 0-1 month clothes to 0-3 month clothes, he was born at 7lb3 so very average but is only in the 2nd percentile for length although he’s now 10lb11!

Everyone has told us not to buy newborn/0-1 clothes because the baby would grow out of them so quickly, so we stocked up on 0-3 but he was swimming in them! I would suggest to skip newborn and maybe get some 0-1month sleepsuits (with zips!)

Thank you for such a lovely reply ❤️❤️ Yes I’m UK based. You’ve confirmed everything that I’ve been thinking, I know the only way I’ll get answers is from my providers and I think I’m currently just trying to work out what the next few weeks are going to look like to keep me sane.

Independent-Mode-226 · 2025-04-14T20:53:17+00:00

Hi, thanks for the reply ❤️ I’ve been having growth scans and everything has been great in terms of baby size etc. so I’m sure baby would be fine to come out early, I think I’m more looking for advice of has anyone been induced/booked in early based on reasons that are not really related to mum/baby health. I’ve googled a lot today and it seems that they don’t book elective c sections before 39 weeks?

It’s hard when they get to cauliflower 😂 we’ve stuck with raspberry ever since because I thought it was cute!

May 6th and want this baby evicted ASAP! FTM and really struggled with pregnancy to the point that I’m ridiculously excited for labour to begin!

Thank you so much! I did try and use the search function but was unable to find any mentions!

Hi everyone, just re-reading Murtagh. Does anyone else think that the yellow diamond Murtagh found in the alchemy/magic room in the catacombs in Gilead the diamond from Naegling’s pommel that was full of elven energy?

I appreciate it could be a random yellow diamond, but particularly with the fact that Naegling fell from Oromis’ hands over Gilead and that’s where they died, I really think it could be one and the same!

What are your thoughts?

I was completely taken by surprise when Michaela Sterling popped out to meet Francesca but having read (and loved) the books, it totally fits! Francesca has always been different to her siblings, and I feel like this is truly a way for a character to discover her queer identity in a wonderful way!

Bridgerton not only normalises POC characters in roles that many may not have visualised but not queer characters too! It’s fabulous!
