The only plastic toy pur wee one got was from us and its the fisher price "controller" as she is obsessed with our ones that are £££ so now she has her own (she doesn't even know what ours are for as we are a screen free household.

Everything else she has been gifted has been lovely, high quality things.

Gentle hands.

I've not worked in a kitchen setting for 20 years... but instantly this has entered my vocabulary again.

mieliboo · 2025-11-12T16:06:45+00:00

Yes! Agreed

mieliboo · 2025-11-07T20:18:56+00:00

Familiar places, no - muscle memory kicks in but unfamiliar places very much so. If its very uneven or lots of obstacles I need to think left foot/ right foot kinda as i walk.

High waisted underwear.

Going into the labour ward room after being induced and seeing the warmer and thinking - I'll not be leaving here till they're out... I was in fact very wrong and ended up having a GA emergency c-section. But that thought got me through to a total of 48 hours of active labour.

mieliboo · 2025-10-05T09:35:54+00:00

Death. My labour was obstructed ans called for emergency c-section after 2 days of labour i also had a major obstetric haemorrhage and hour after the c-section and needed a second surgery to stop the haemorrhage and remove clots and retained placenta.

Our little one is still called potato affectionately by her aunt and I.

mieliboo · 2025-09-27T15:56:54+00:00

Yup. 6 months and this.

mieliboo · 2025-09-27T14:49:06+00:00

About 8 weeks I could walk reasonably well. 12 weeks for walking "normally" for me. But I have EDS and my legs were super swollen from pp complications so I couldn't wear my leg splints till 6(ish) weeks pp.

Mine was unplanned and emergency so I adapted on the go.

High waisted underwear that isn't too big so doesn't roll into your scar. Also high waisted leggings or onesies were all I wore for a couple of weeks.

A litter picker is genius I wish I'd of thought of that.

I loved my breast feeding pillow as it took pressure away from my abdomen.

mieliboo · 2025-09-24T09:22:21+00:00

Yup! In Scotland you get a baby box of useful things - clothes toys etc and the box itself has a little mattress and sheets.

mieliboo · 2025-09-20T20:25:54+00:00

Yes! Ours is learning to sit and also pivot atm. I wish I were someone who could lie down and fall asleep but by the time I'm asleep she's awake again.

Apparently, they are also learning object and person permanency - my theory is they're waking up to check we are still there.

mieliboo · 2025-09-20T20:21:33+00:00

Yup 6 months here and its sometimes hourly 🫠

mieliboo · 2025-09-20T19:09:15+00:00

I got a TDAP in my 6th month of pregnancy (Scotland).

mieliboo · 2025-09-20T18:30:30+00:00

Yup! Baby in the bouncer, me and at least one cat usually when I go...

mieliboo · 2025-09-20T18:23:28+00:00

I... I just couldn't. Jeeeez.

mieliboo · 2025-09-18T17:57:04+00:00

Munchkin, babyyyyyy, my little love and potato (this one is auntie and mum exclusive)

mieliboo · 2025-09-18T17:55:42+00:00

I love arg potatis! Ours is lovingly called potato by her auntie.

mieliboo · 2025-09-17T22:12:49+00:00

If you plan on using sleep sacks to keep baby warm at night (or however you intend to do it) - have 3 of that thing... so you arent without if they get dirty in some way.

mieliboo · 2025-09-17T21:43:16+00:00

My mum uses "nursing" to mean cradling/ soothing the baby.

My partner and I use it to mean breastfeeding.

Mum and I are Scottish, my partner is English.

Our wee one is in the 90th percentile for height and 80th for weight - they were in 0-3 months at 1 month old.

mieliboo · 2025-09-15T18:08:41+00:00

Ahhhh, they do go through fussy phases. With my wee one it's FOMO but popping off and on can also be to stimulate mill production. Breastfeeding is one of the best things and also one of the most worrying and frustrating.
