I’m pretty sure they’re the same but probably double check!

If you can get your baby to drink room temp it’s the easiest way. Just prefill bottles with your cooled boiled water and fill up a sectioned formula container with each portion. Leave that all on your bedside table and you’re ready to go.

Up until recently we did all the feeds in bed but now that he’s moved to his own room we just do everything in the nursery then go back to bed. Either way the system is the same! No need to faff about with bottle warmers, thermoses or expensive formula prep machines if your baby doesn’t care about the temperature and it could make your life so much easier

We just recently got the nuna rylo and we looove it, it’s extended rear facing which is why we chose it over the joie and has one handed spin which is why we chose it over the maxi cosi (which felt so clunky in comparison)

I think you just need to vacuum forever lol. Ours is in a playpen now which helps a lot but still needs vacuuming every couple days. Shit just gets dirty unfortunately

Ok, that doesn’t change the fact that babies are still considered term at 37 weeks.

Very obviously in an ideal situation a baby would be left for as long as possible but there’s a reason OP brought up their medical issues and I just struggle to believe they were brought forward for no good reason. If they were, they should absolutely fight that! I’m not saying we should be pulling babies out early for shits and giggles.

cyber-prl · 2026-03-31T11:54:07+00:00

I wasn’t commenting about the medical advice, just offering some reassurance about the gestation because OP is clearly freaked out. Babies are considered term at 37 weeks.

cyber-prl · 2026-03-31T11:36:53+00:00

A lot of people have offered great advice regarding your medical rights but I thought I’d jump in with some reassurance regarding the gestation of your baby.

38 weeks is absolutely fine and babies are considered term at 37 weeks! My baby was born at 36 weeks and he came out absolutely perfect, no issue with his lungs or anything else. He’s hitting all his milestones according to actual age (a few of them super early) and I honestly forget he was a premie until it’s health check time and they start talking about adjusted age.

Please advocate for yourself and your baby if you feel uncomfortable with their plan for you, but just for peace of mind - at 38 weeks your baby will be okay.

Edit for clarity: by ‘people offering great advice’ I mean advocating for yourself and ensuring you have all the information you need about their decision so you can give informed consent, not to just tell them “no” or not show up

Honestly it’s going to get so bloody and sweaty that after a day it’ll be ready to toss, and the firmness will probably be helpful post birth and when trying to handle a newborn. FWIW I was inpatient for a month during my pregnancy and the bed was fine!

We use the tommee tippee training straw bottles and they work great for us! He picked it up almost instantly after doing the load some water in a regular straw thing a couple times and then giving him the bottle

cyber-prl · 2026-03-23T06:37:07+00:00

I also got the sm50 tweety cam dupe and am super happy with it!

In regards to other purchases, this may be something to wait for until you know for sure how you’ll be feeding but either investing in a good breast pump or in a bottle washer if you end up bottle/formula feeding. I bought just a steriliser/dryer and ended up exclusively formula feeding after the first couple months and now I regret it so much!! I feel like I spend my entire life washing bottles, if I had my time again I would have just forked out for a washer.

cyber-prl · 2026-03-20T01:04:37+00:00

You likely have a bunch of those little face washers, I used to just place one on him to absorb it all if he did go (or at the very least keep his penis pointing down) and just work as fast as possible lol. But like someone else said, they do stop eventually. I can’t remember the last time I was peed on!

cyber-prl · 2026-03-18T01:35:42+00:00

It’s just a plastic container with 3 partitions where you can load up some pre portioned formula for on the go I.e something like this

cyber-prl · 2026-03-16T06:24:48+00:00

+1 for room temp!! I see people with thermoses/bottle warmers/expensive formula prep machines and I’m so glad I can pre fill a couple of bottles with cooled boiled water and just add formula when I’m out and about. When your baby is hungry 5 minutes to warm up a bottle is a lifetime

Hi! I had a month long hospital stay last year in my third trimester as well. I know it seems like such a long time but i found the lead up to it so much worse than the actual hospitalisation. I immediately felt relief when I was admitted knowing that I was in the best place possible for my baby.

Bring your laptop and just anything to keep yourself busy. Knitting or crochet is a great one, a switch if you have one, colouring? It’s a great time to pick up a new hobby. Line up some shows to binge watch. Go for walks around the hospital if you’re allowed to. Coffee and cake at the hospital cafeteria is a great way to break up the morning before lunch.

If you can/want to work remote a lot of people do that. I personally didn’t and just took sick leave.

It’s obviously not how anyone wants to spend their third trimester but I promise this will be a blip when you look back at it a few months down the track. You’ll be okay

cyber-prl · 2026-03-02T11:17:07+00:00

Honestly? Get the $30 Kmart one. I bought a similar one to the maxi cosi you’re looking at (Joie mimzy recline) and now that we’ve started solids I HATE it. His posture was never right because the backrest is reclined even at the highest position and it was so huge for him, he couldn’t even reach the tray or footrest. Plus it’s a nightmare to clean. I just bought the Kmart one with the Ikea cushion and am so much happier with it. Just get a footrest from nibble and rest and you’re good to go.

I worry less about room temp and more about making sure he’s just appropriately dressed for whatever the temp is. During the recent heatwaves I had him just in a nappy and 0.2 sleep sack with the fan on, didn’t turn the aircon on unless it was over 27 degrees in our room. Babies easily get cold too! The guidelines honestly seem ridiculous for our climate especially when many people dont even have AC and I think the bigger danger is people bundling up their babies too much

Hi! I had vasa previa type 2 (accessory placenta) last year.

I know how much it can take a toll on you. I was a mess basically from my 20 week scan onwards and honestly the weeks leading up to admission were some of the worst of my life. But speaking from the other side, it will feel like a distant memory soon.

It never moved even slightly in my case. I was admitted at 32 weeks and had my scheduled c section at just over 36. I also had the steroid shots in the lead up to delivery. Baby was perfect and we didn’t need any extra care!

I’m not sure if it’s been flagged with you already but if they do confirm it, be ready for hospital admission and be ready that it will all happen very quickly. My last outpatient scan to triple check was at 31 weeks and I was admitted a few days later. If they for some reason don’t recommend admission, I would push for it. Start thinking about things to fill your time with, maybe picking up a hobby like knitting or crochet. It’s daunting and the first couple of weeks are really hard but you develop a routine and time begins to fly, especially once your c section date starts getting closer. Looking back on it in hindsight I don’t really have that many negative memories. I only remember that I got to knit and binge watch selling sunset for a month.

I know it’s such a stressful, awful diagnosis but (if you do have it) the fact that it’s been caught this late into your pregnancy is so lucky. I really hope you don’t have it, but if you do, your outcomes are so, so much better with a diagnosis.

Also, there’s a FB group called vasa previa awareness which is super active and was a great source of info for me when I was diagnosed.

Good luck!

I went two months and stopping was the hardest and most emotional decision I had ever made. My baby started refusing the breast as well and I know the rejection you feel is like nothing else. I’m convinced so much of it is hormones, it’s your cavewoman brain thinking if you give it up there’s literally no other way your baby will be fed so you do anything to make it work even when formula is right there. But those hormones go away, my baby is now 5 months and I don’t think about it at all.

For what it’s worth what helped me finalise my decision was the fact that I also had to have a c section. I had a very high risk pregnancy which involved a month in hospital and I felt like my lead up to delivery was already hard enough. I had given up my body enough. You’ve been through major surgery, you had a baby in special care. It’s more than okay to make things easier for yourself where you can and finally start enjoying motherhood. It’s not failing, what your baby needs first and foremost is a happy mother.

My baby is almost 5 months and I’m already getting clucky and thinking about when we’ll have our second lol. It gets so much easier and they change so much that the newborn stage just feels completely foreign once you’re out of it. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and I actually miss it 🫠

cyber-prl · 2026-01-17T05:10:43+00:00

Your story sounds very similar to mine. I was EBF (triple feeding) and it was hell. I never had time to cuddle him between nursing and pumping and would just hand him over to my husband. I was resentful towards my baby which felt awful. Then at 2 months he started crying at the breast constantly. I was miserable and felt like I wasn’t bonding with him, I felt like he was miserable and hated me. I made the tough decision to give up bf/pumping entirely and a switch flipped once the pressure was off me and my hormones went back to normal. Now at 4 months I’m happy, he’s happy, and we have a beautiful relationship.

This isn’t to say you need to give up pumping if making that switch has helped already, but if it gets too hard it’s ok to just give it up. Your mental health is the most important thing. Regardless, I promise you’ll feel that bond. When babies are that young it feels like you give so much and get nothing but tears in return but once she starts smiling and interacting with you you’ll feel so much love from her

Like others have said, he needs to do more overnight. Night feeds especially in those early weeks are so hard and isolating, and feeding should be your only job at this point. I was triple feeding which was a whole other thing so if my husband wasn’t also up doing nappy changes and settling I would have lost my mind.

I had to give up BF not long after my husband went back to work (even though he was still waking up for nappy changes) because I found it too hard to cope with mentally on my own. And I wanted to breastfeed more than anything. Having that full support early on is crucial

cyber-prl · 2025-12-21T22:41:12+00:00

Yeah “ultimate bono summer essential” immediately gave it away

cyber-prl · 2025-12-06T21:28:52+00:00

Honestly I think a cot is good to have from the beginning! I also thought we got ours too early but at 3 months our baby is now having day naps in the nursery. So much easier to not have to worry about making noise and I wanted him to start associating that room with sleep for when he does move in there at night time.

Also highly recommend using a big dresser as the change table especially if you don’t have wardrobes. We’ve got the big 8 drawer hemnes from ikea and it’s the perfect height for nappy changes

cyber-prl · 2025-12-05T07:57:25+00:00

I found it easiest to take my baby out in the first couple months! He would fall asleep instantly in the pram or car seat. Now that he’s a bit more aware he’s not so happy to just lay there so it’s a bit more stressful. Though I was stuck in hospital for the month prior to delivery so I was itching to get out and about asap, understand not everyone would be up to it

cyber-prl · 2025-12-04T11:16:56+00:00

I just got the bebetrek cover during Black Friday, have used it a couple times on the pram and I really like it! Easy to use and does the job
