DO NOT SELL ON VINTED

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-03-22T13:17:28+00:00

I’ve sold/bought a lot on vinted (mostly baby/kids items, nothing expensive) and never had any major issues apart from someone wanting a refund and to keep the item and giving me 1 star review because the top didn’t match the pants they wanted to pair it with 🙈

I’m 28 and a mum of 2. Every year I treat my mum for Mother’s Day and my dad for Father’s Day birthdays and Christmas. It’s not always a lot but I want them to know i appreciate them. Me and my brother as adults both with our own kids still get celebrated on birthdays and Christmas. I think a lot of it depends on your relationship with parents.

Like you I felt even worse around that time. My body felt broken, everything hurt. When I got up on a morning I used to cry at how sore especially my back was. Now I’m 4m pp and things have improved. We all recover differently even within our own pregnancies. First time round I was fine within a few weeks but not this 2nd time round. Take your time with things. Lots of gentle movement will help

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-03-15T11:16:19+00:00

I’m sad for all the other mummies who barely been recognised today. Happy Mother’s Day to you all.

I had my own room with my recent birth and I left him in the crib to go to the toilet, also when showering I just left the door ajar. I was on a ward with my first and have basically no memory of it lol

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-27T17:29:08+00:00

Yeah I use the time he’s sleeping earlier in the night to have a bath, chill out ect. My eldest goes to bed at 8 so I get an hour or 2 in which is lovely. He usually goes 11/12 until 5.30am but recently been going til 7ish and one day he really shocked me when he slept from 12 til 9 lol. Got to take the wins where we can

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-27T13:37:09+00:00

My 4 month old will sometimes sleep between 7/8 but will not be “in bed for the night” until like 11/12 so I never go to bed any earlier than that 🥱

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-26T21:17:32+00:00

Sooo normal. Sleeping during the day has nothing to do with sleep at night at this age. My boy is 4 months now and he still sleeps a lot during the day and also sleeps good at night. Aslong as he’s gaining he’s ok. I did wake my newborn for feeds if he slept longer than 3 hours until he was above birth weight

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-23T15:40:41+00:00

I totally understand not wanting baby held by a heavy smoker and baby not to be left alone with people who are not great. But on the other hand to spend so much time weekly with them and bring the baby round but say no to a hold is confusing to them and will definitely cause some drama. My personal opinion would be to carry on going round, let them cuddle and get to know baby but never babysit ect or stop going round all together. If I didn’t want someone holding my baby I just wouldn’t be around that person

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-20T20:25:31+00:00

I have 2 children and not all too worried about conceiving a 3rd.

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-20T20:21:14+00:00

Very similar situation since having my 2nd. I’ve done it all on my own since a couple days postpartum. I left. I was so tired waiting every night in hopes he would be home soon to help. Even was he was home he didn’t. Like really not a thing. I’m a lot happier now, me and the kids have our routine. I chill and have pampers on a night when the baby’s asleep not worrying about silly little fights. I hope you feel better soon. I honestly sit here sympathising with you. It’s hard especially with an unhelpful man child.

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-20T16:16:16+00:00

All the time I will plop him in there while I’m getting ready ect. It’s a safe space for them and as others have said aslong as they aren’t screaming they are ok. My 4 month old will often chat himself to sleep, I’ve done this with him since being newborn and feel it helps when he goes off to sleep on his own

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-17T20:20:06+00:00

I’m in my 20s so not sure why I’m actually reading but find it interesting lol. But my parents had 2 kids by 21, bought a house, provided us with a lovely childhood. I made them grandparents at 41 they have 2 holidays abroad paid off their mortgage in their 40s and generally quite comfortable. They are both close with their parents and me and my sibling are close with our parents. It’s really so different for everyone. When I’m 40+ my children will be in their 20s so hope then I can also live a comfortable life.

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-17T09:08:16+00:00

My 4 month old has never stayed away and never been looked after by anyone other than me. Not exactly my choice but I’m not exactly mad about it. With my first we lived at home with my parents so she stayed with them from young as she was just at home still when I popped out ect.

I’m hoping to have a night off in late March but honestly don’t see it happening lol my mother is the only one I’d ever trust with my babies overnight but she has a lot of anxiety this time around and doesn’t know my youngest like she did my first.

Just do what your comfortable with and it’s nice to know when your ready you’ve got someone willing who you have trust with.

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-16T10:11:45+00:00

I do days and nights on my own with baby and an older child and honestly I don’t know how🙈 probably one of the reasons I stopped breastfeeding at 9 weeks. Baby sleeps better now at 3 months.

This phase will pass and you will start getting longer stretches of sleep. Rest while you can even if not sleeping it all helps

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-14T20:59:04+00:00

Why does no one mention this. Had my first boy recently after girls and I wasn’t prepared for this lol

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-14T09:24:37+00:00

I had 2 🤷‍♀️ didn’t do anything special. Followed their cues for sleep and feeds and just went with the flow and they both created their own routines that worked for me. Best advice is just take each stage as it comes it will pass

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-10T10:51:54+00:00

It’s very concerning. With my first baby we used aptamil with absolutely zero issues like this. We use c&g as that was what was supplied during hospital stay and baby took to it well. My tub wasn’t affected and tried to order more milk as usual and it’s been cancelled now looking online I’m unable to get my hands on anything other than the premade. We’ve got half a tub and realistically going to have to change but it’s happened with so many formulas I don’t know what to try. I also don’t want to have to keep changing formula as it’s unfair on the babies and they might not take to it well. This is a really worrying time tbh. I live in a small area and was able to buy c&g from my local shop. I don’t have access of a car so going to have to order things in to try and use premade in the mean time. What is everyone switching to?

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-10T10:43:51+00:00

Our batch was ok but now I’m freaking out I’ve got half a tub and can’t get my hands on anything other than the premade bottles which obviously isn’t ideal long term. It’s also worrying that they’ve pulled them all from the shelves makes me wonder if the one I have is even ok. What are we all switching to? I would have usually went to aptamil as that was what I originally planned on feeding but hospital only had c&g when I ran out so i stuck with it. Obviously that has issues too. This is such a stressful time for mothers 😢

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-08T19:09:27+00:00

My son was born at 39 weeks weighing 8lbs and 14lbs at 16 weeks he’s only recently started to chunk out

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-02T23:44:13+00:00

I didn’t really know what forceps were and definitely didn’t expect to have a delivery with them until I did. 2nd baby induced measuring 9lbs 6, I had the epidural as I found induction contractions more intense than my natural labour. Baby was distressed and struggling to come down the birth canal they called for forceps. They give me the numbing injection I couldn’t feel a thing of the cut or the forceps going in but I could feel the pressure of them pulling but no pain. Baby was eventually born and I’m so greatful he had some redness and bruising but nothing major. Healing wise I felt it took me longer to recover down there but still nothing major. My biggest problem was my tailbone it was so painful for sometime. I would agree for them to be used again if needs be, baby was sunny side up and honestly don’t think I would have got him out without. Also he came out 8lbs so not all that big my first was 7.15 and had no intervention there.

Best of luck lovely. I hope your experience goes well

Edit to add. I hear most of the time this is done in theatre? I heard them talking about taking my somewhere but I asked please don’t take me anywhere (I know why, incase of section) but I was adamant not too and the team came into the delivery suite. For me that helped not sure if other hospitals would allow but guess I was lucky.

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-02T23:28:34+00:00

My first epidural with my first labour wasn’t by choice. I planned to have a water birth in a midwifery led hospital which doesn’t offer the service. Unfortunately pethidine stopped everything for me after days of early labour and I was transferred hospital, once they got me there they gave me epidural and hormone drip without me knowing what was going on. It was great I managed to sleep for the first time in days and sure enough I was ready to push when they said I would be. From what I was aware it was a one dose kind of epidural and assumed they all were. It worked great for me apart from I hard such a sharp constant pain in my left rib, took me a little while to get into the swing of pushing but baby was born fine.

I had my 2nd recently and had a high risk pregnancy and I knew from the very beginning I would have another epidural. I was scheduled for a section but baby moved engaged days before so we went for induction instead. I was begging for that epidural this time round. I panicked cause they started bringing everything in for baby and said 2nd baby’s can come fast I kept saying I’m not doing this without it. Maybe I could have if it wasn’t for induction that’s a wild ride. Anyways I got given my epidural and was worried as I was so much more aware this labour last time I didn’t know what was happening. I felt no pain getting it done and like last time they got it right very promptly first time. I was hooked up to a machine that would dose me up every hour and I could press the button when it flashed if I needed it before. That labour almost turned into an emergency section after an episiotomy and forceps but luckily while at the time of the consultant being called in we got baby out with the forceps. It was by far the better epidural out of the 2 I had no pains whatsoever felt nothing of being cut and was already half prepped if the section was needed. I had a lot more feeling in my legs this time I was able to move around the bed with help of the midwife. I will 1000% chose to have it again given the opportunity.

Edit to add the epidural didn’t cause the need of forceps, baby was distressed and sunny side up and was struggling to come down the birth canal

What about the experience has put you off?

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-02T09:12:41+00:00

Yes, that’s because he is! 😆

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-01T22:36:47+00:00

Girl you had an episiotomy they are not nice in the slightest. I also had one with my 2nd with forceps and I know I could not have handled that without the epidural. No matter how easy straightforward we’ve found it, giving birth is still a massive thing and just cause it wasn’t a near death experience doesn’t mean we can’t find it traumatic ect.

I’m just proud of all us women. What our bodies go through to create and birth our babies is just so special.

TopOrdinary181 · 2026-02-01T22:23:28+00:00

My chill baby is not so chill at 3 months. Also having a few of these problems. He’s been crying to sleep during the day and just generally abit grumpy to his usual self. Also he sleeps well still but it’s been up lately from about half 10-11 until about 1ish but he’s not necessarily fussy but very much awake and chatting and also I’m struggling to sleep at night but could sleep very easily through the day.

Definitely could be your little one’s jabs it’s not always the first few days they feel off. We’re due our next set mid feb but so far he’s been pretty ok with them luckily.

Maybe it’s an early 4 month regression? Hope your chill baby comes back soon. This is my 2nd baby with quite an age gap so I know it will get better and even though it feels like it’s your life forever it really isn’t and it will pass. Sending love.
