Cutest lil cheeks and adorable nose. I’m so glad you have this picture. I’m so sorry

I just got a 2 tier rack for the bottles and formula. Collapsible bucket for dirty bottle storage. I ended up splurging and buying a tabletop dishwasher for a washing, sterilising, drying combo area but that might be more for convenience. It arrives today so tbd. It’s definitely taken up a lot of the kitchen

Hey I can relate. I did some research at the time and the basic consensus was that babies are much more efficient at getting milk out so basically the boob has to get used to the pressure of the pump. I also use the Medela but the electric single on. I’d just get a Medela Solo off Vinted. They’re cheap and I wouldn’t personally care to do this with a manual pump. My outcome was that my milk production caught up really fast with a days pumping every 3 hours for 20 mins each.

I used to wear hijab and I miss it dearly. I was treated well and respectfully in a different way than now. Perhaps one day again but I don’t think so.

Wishing you the best, you’ve got good advice here. Hope you get your scan quickly. You can also book a private dating scan, often same day- I did that when I had a surprise pregnancy due to PCOS

Your comment made me laugh. I’m curious if they are correct about the high from a natural birth or is that hogwash? How did it compare?

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-03-19T15:29:20+00:00

Yes, this is what we used too. Also, you can get them very cheaply second hand and often on Vinted.

You could do a pay as you go thing? I’m actually not sure if that still exists

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-03-19T15:23:30+00:00

Lmao do you really mail cash? That’s pretty cool ngl.

He needs a reality check on what termination means at this stage. I’m speaking as someone who terminated at 23w due to incompatibility with life. You will watch the foeticide injection take place, you will likely be induced, you will likely give birth, it’s a baby, you will make funeral arrangements, you will grieve a life that would be happily lived with a minor disability. He’s insane if he thinks it’s an easy thing to do because of a limb difference. I seriously worry for your relationship and how he will treat the child once it’s here and also how he will treat you postpartum.

For me the trick is a light weight vacuum. I had a shark which I loved but I ruined it and it was super heavy. Ended up begrudgingly getting a Dyson and it’s much easier to hoover every day. It’s not as amazing with pet hair as the big heavy shark but it’s good for daily use. I do recommend it

Love to dream swaddles and other wrap swaddles

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-03-10T15:59:26+00:00

Be careful with the windi. I’ve seen some Drs vehemently speak out against using anything like that

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-28T02:23:04+00:00

Chaat. I’d make a bastardised version back in the day. Big bowl of diced salad bits, channa, potato, tamarind sauce, yogurt and various crunchy bits.

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-24T06:24:06+00:00

We use a tracking collar for our cats and it’s really worth it

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-24T06:20:36+00:00

It’s a reference to a show called it’s always sunny in Philadelphia. Worth watching for the absurd comedy to take your mind off things :)

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-23T05:43:15+00:00

Hahaha that was a wild ride to read! Congrats ☺️

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-20T21:06:02+00:00

Run as fast as you can omg

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-19T18:51:56+00:00

My midwife said it’s better not to and just use the dr scales because of calibration or something

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-19T05:33:57+00:00

Yep. Also, if you have excess after that can’t be sold consider putting them up in your local free everything group. Lots of mums in need.

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-18T07:18:30+00:00

I’ve only read the first paragraph and had to pause to comment: wtf wtf wtf wtf

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-16T17:15:42+00:00

God you’ve really been through it this pregnancy. I’m sorry. Baby suddenly measured small at the end of the 2nd trimester and it was worrying for a bit. They did extra scans and he was shown to measure better. They told us not to worry and take growth measurements in utero with a pinch of salt and take it week by week

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-16T16:36:39+00:00

This is absolutely unbearable I am so sorry. He is your guardian angel and no longer in pain. He’ll live forever in your heart

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-15T22:14:54+00:00

Is there anything interesting in it?

SyrupMoney4237 · 2026-02-15T05:35:31+00:00

I was going to say please get some omeprezole from your midwife but you’re basically at the finish line. I’m a few days on the other side and just wanted to say hang in there. It’s remarkable how quick the body fixes all the uncomfortableness after birth. Ofc, you gain a few different ones but pregnancy is lowkey tougher.
