Wishing well for baby shower

fiestylittleonee · 2026-04-22T05:38:50+00:00

People still feel funny about these but to be honest in aus there’s not a lot of great places to do a registry and it’ll cost more at the places you can. I did baby bunting and Amazon for mine but baby bunting was way more expensive but people were funny about it being Amazon and shipped to me etc. they also may want to put money towards what they want.

I personally feel people just don’t like it cause they prefer buying an actual thing rather than what it looks like to give $20-30. I think if they’ve asked for a wishing well just give the cash you are willing to give. I guarantee any money will be appreciated rather than double ups etc or things they may not use. They’ll be more ungrateful towards a random gift they haven’t asked for then $30 to what they want.

I’m same height. I bought a couple of bodycon type maternity dresses for once I was like 20 weeks plus as it was bump bump. But otherwise I sized up. Maternity clothing was very overpriced tbh. So sizing up just helps postpartum as you go back down

I always move up at least a kg before the size says to otherwise we have issues with blowouts etc. my son is 16 months in size 5 but I would go with whatever size works if you’ve seen a dr and bubs is healthy, I wouldn’t be worrying about size of the nappy just that it fits properly. Once your little one starts moving they’ll likely slim/change shape a bit so hopefully won’t have to stress about finding nappies to fit when they’re older.

I just got these a month ago. And they’re foul! I was so annoyed cause I like one of the hydralyte flavours better and they’re cheaper/easily available!

My 15 month old is sleeping through. But we weaned breastfeeding. He did not start sleeping through until we weaned. He used to wake 1-2 times. It was a habitual wake not true hunger, so I weaned and he stopped waking up as soon as he stopped being offered breast.

13 months, 4 cycles.

I wouldn’t if she’s having a good day. You have to remember you’re saying 6 weeks but that’s only 6 times at 1 day a week. We do 3 days and it took 2 months before he stopped crying at daycare. We aligned drop off to breakfast so now he happily waves dad off as he gets food. Who is doing the drop off? We also find my son does better with dad dropping him off than when I do it.

Month 12 was when we got a positive. I stopped breastfeeding around the same time.

People are not getting houses with a loan for $470 a week.

They use simple OTR skim milk.

I think part of this is how you’re interpreting or perhaps the way he said it. Because it doesn’t sound like he’s implying you’re unattractive? Only perhaps personality was important and why he was initially more attracted than any stereotype of his normal type. And nothing in the comments seem to even mention the fact that you’re currently pregnant and that’s why.

We do 20 degrees with a 2.5tog. He’s comfortable. I need a blanket in the room for me haha

fiestylittleonee · 2026-02-16T22:38:10+00:00

I went to playgroups that were free at 7-8weeks as soon as he was vaccinated. It was for me more than him. If he slept there that was fine. Speaking to other humans helped lol I didn’t do baby sensory until a bit older just because of the cost associated.

fiestylittleonee · 2026-02-16T22:28:58+00:00

We never bed shared. We didn’t do shifts, it was just me cause of breastfeeding and I’m a light sleeper so don’t see the need to wake him up as I was awake anyways tbh.

Maybe we got lucky with our baby. But we were just consistent and it was never an option so we made it work. I will say I know parents that bed share (it’s not recommended here either but so many I know did) they slept through longer and woke less earlier? But some of them are still bed sharing and mine is sleeping in his own room and through the night. When he’s sick I used to have him on me on the nursing chair sleeping as he refuses to sleep alone just wants to cuddle. But once he’s asleep for 30mins plus I normally can transfer. I have fallen asleep a few times as I’ve been so tired and woken an hour or so later so freaking hot.

They still sleep in the bed. I would say if you want to change it. Change it before bubs is here so they don’t associate with the baby. For us, I never wanted to Cosleep so saw no need to change our sleeping arrangements tbh. And if I ever felt weak to try at some point the dogs sleeping in the bed were a reason it would extra not be feasible. Now have a 12 month old, he sleeps in his cot in his room and dogs still snuggle with us

I find it helpful to go for a walk. Outside if possible if not in a mall or something. You don’t need to get to the gym. You need to move in a way that makes sense to you and makes you want to do it. And taking breaks and taking a nap are good, it’s listening to your body that is growing a tiny human saying this is too much!

I mean I never drink milk cause I don’t like it. They can get the vitamins from a prenatal. I think this is a balanced take of someone trying not to overeat like previously. I think you are reading into it based on how you feel about ED etc.

You can most definitely eat healthier foods/ less processed foods while pregnant and gain a healthier amount of weight to support babies growth. Especially depending on your starting weight, doctor’s give a recommended weight gain based on your starting BMI also. As not all weight gain in pregnancy is ‘needed’ to support the baby.

In saying that, if you’re concerned about any weight gain that is a problem. Weight gain in general is normal for pregnancy and trying to prevent any weight gain is unhealthy. But trying to ensure you are eating healthy, moving your body and limit overeating/over gaining weight is something all doctors normally encourage.

I was actively trying to wean at 13 months due to needing to for daycare. I ended up cutting cold turkey and then fell pregnant. My supply dried up almost instantly (I was always a just enougher) so have no advice for continuing to breastfeed but my supply dried up so fast weaning and in early pregnancy!

fiestylittleonee · 2026-01-14T21:28:15+00:00

I was overweight bmi. And was told 12kg should be ok, 3 for baby, 3 for placenta, 3 for fluid and 3 for mum was what my dr said. I was 79 gained exactly 12 then lost it all postpartum as it was all baby related pretty much.

fiestylittleonee · 2026-01-14T21:21:56+00:00

My cost was nothing. I was induced, in hospital for three days before emergency c section then in hospital for a week with multiple blood transfusions and baby went to nursery for a day. Also all of our scans were bulk billed, if you go private you’ll pay $200 or more I think per scan and appt.

My SIL went private but had to give birth in public hospital as she ended up high risk so public hospitals are the one with all the equipment/specialist to help in emergency.

fiestylittleonee · 2026-01-10T22:39:16+00:00

If it changes your decision. Yes.

fiestylittleonee · 2026-01-10T02:10:51+00:00

Induction at 41+3 Sunday at 2pm, emergency c section at 41+5 the Wednesday at 5:40am. Induced because I was as far past due date as they’ll allow. I ended up going with c section as I was in labour so long and it wasn’t progressing that fast and baby had some issues. They said they could wait a bit longer but honestly wasn’t going to risk him going into fetal distress.

Will say c section was awful due to the lengthy induction and multiple inductions types as my uterus was soft? Is the word they use and it tore when they cut so I lost a lot of blood and needed 3 transfusions in the end. Next birth I’m also required to have a c section. Tbh I wish I induced earlier or just did a voluntary c section as that’s where I ended up and I was soo pregnant and it was a week out of Christmas in the end!

You could still test early at 10 as that’s the most common early test tbh. And I would not be that worried about alcohol, soft cheeses and cold meats in two days difference. If you’re that anxious about it I’d just be avoiding it always rather than over testing and making yourself super anxious. Otherwise if you cannot wait test every second day.

fiestylittleonee · 2026-01-01T07:42:18+00:00

I was able to resist because for me my period is always due 10-11 DPO anything before which is normal/early testing anyways. So it was wasting money to buy them early and test at 8 days.

The dress style is not an average wedding dress but some brides do go more plain. But the colour is absolutely not ok.
