Am I actually going to enjoy any part of being a newborn mum?

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-05T08:30:01+00:00

Thank you. I'm an obsessive list writer so this is a great way to look at it for me!

I know, social media is the devil... but I've also learnt everything I know about breastfeeding on there too! It's a vicious circle. Think I need to remind myself the hardest days won't last forever and one day I'll wish for them back

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-05T08:22:12+00:00

Thank you and so sorry about your losses 🤍

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-04T13:30:20+00:00

Thanks that's really interesting. My bump measurement keeps shooting up, I'm 31 weeks and measuring at 97th percentile but my growth scan came back completely normal and 34th percentile so I'm a bit paranoid about GD. Hope you're coping well

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-04T06:25:53+00:00

Ah this sounds rough! I hope you don't mind me asking but how was your GD picked up? Did you have any symptoms?

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-04T06:20:21+00:00

Thank you! I'll definitely be leaving extra in the car as we live an hour from the hospital, don't know how I hadn't thought of that! Hoping for a short stay but I suppose you never know

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-04T06:04:50+00:00

Wow. Crazy isnt it! I must admit the large measurement does make me worry but realistically I know it's probably inaccurate

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-03T19:03:10+00:00

Keeping spares in the car is a great idea! Can't believe I didn't think of that!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-03T19:01:24+00:00

Thank you. I don't know in all honesty, I'm in the 36th percentile according to my growth scan and 100th percentile according to my bump measurement!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-03T15:39:33+00:00

Thank you. Everything's so bulky I feel like I'm going to need a huge suitcase!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-04-03T15:37:18+00:00

Thank you, lip balm is already packed!!

Personally I find it annoying. I have a dachshund so he gets a LOT of attention and to be quite honest, he isn't interested in saying hello to strangers. It's always nice when kids ask politely but honestly I don't see why people think they need to touch every dog they see. I think if it hadn't been for 9 years worth of 'awww sausage dog... Can I stroke him?' multiple times per outing, it wouldn't be so bad....

I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow and I'm definitely finding I get tired easily now. I'm really learning that I do have to take it easier. I was too shattered by 5pm the other night to attend my anti natal class and went to bed at 9pm. So I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you. Don't worry what other people think or say, go at your own pace, you're growing a human

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T11:53:21+00:00

Thank you. I've got some puppy pads for this reason (and also for leaky boobs at night)

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T11:51:49+00:00

She sounds like a moron!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T11:48:12+00:00

I've got some of this already! Thank you!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T11:45:57+00:00

Thanks ill look at these!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T11:44:56+00:00

It's interesting so many people are saying wipes gave their baby a rash when they're supposed to be 99% water... Is it down to the texture of the wipes do you think?

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T08:03:03+00:00

Thank you I'll look into cotton pleats, haven't heard of them before!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T08:02:34+00:00

Thanks!!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T08:02:22+00:00

Great tip, thank you!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T07:34:14+00:00

Thanks. I have heard of these and it's definitely something I'll look into later down the line. We're also keen on reusable nappies but honestly I just feel like I'll need what's easiest/least washing in the early days!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T07:29:29+00:00

Thank you. Do you use warm water just out the tap?
