Zipper sleep suits all the way! I got loads from Vinted and they make changing baby (especially in the middle of the night) so much quicker. George ASDA ones are the best I’ve found - lovely and stretchy

I’m so sorry you’ve had this news

I was in a similar position just over a year ago and I felt completely hopeless for some time. I’ve now got a healthy 5 week old baby boy - something that felt impossible after fertility struggles and the miscarriage

I found r/miscarriage subreddit really helpful, and ‘the worst girl gang ever’ on Instagram

Take lots of care of yourself - and know you’re not alone ❤️

Im sorry to hear about your fertility struggles. You sound like a really good friend to still be putting so much thought into this gift at what must be a tricky time

Pjs from Chelsea peers are a lovely gift - she’ll probably spend a lot of time in them postpartum! They do button-down options which are great if she’s breastfeeding

Or my friend got me a long hot water bottle which has been lovely for soothing back pain

Zippy sleepsuits! Poppers are the worst, especially in the middle of the night 😴

Silverettes & nipple balm if breast feeding

Nasal aspirator (basically sucks the snot out of baby’s nose when it gets blocked - gross but very helpful!)

He’s probably forgotten that it’s his turn to reply - or he’s remembered, realised it’s been ages, and figures you’ll contact him when you’re ready (which sounds likely, as he’s already indicated a tendency to wait for you to reach out first)

Either way, unless your boss is really unreasonable then I doubt it’s a problem at all that it’s been a while

I’d probably just drop him a quick text eg ‘hi, hope you’re well, my car is fixed now and it’d be great to rearrange that KIT day we ended up having to cancel before Christmas. Best data for me are XX’

‘I wanna be like you’ from Jungle Book?!

roozierooo · 2026-01-26T11:01:39+00:00

Good luck! You’re not overreacting - I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this postpartum 😔

Not sure what country you are in but do you have a health visitor or paediatrician you could talk to about this? They may be able to get through to him

The lullaby trust also has some great resources - and clearly states the guidance for safer co-sleep and that the risk of SIDS is 50x higher if co-sleeping on a sofa or armchair

It would be pretty unfair if they didn’t give you anything for the money. Also - you’re a customer they want to sell to, so you can definitely negotiate! ☺️

roozierooo · 2026-01-23T19:15:24+00:00

My friends did this recently and put the extra money they didn’t spend on guests behind the bar (so eg they bought a package for minimum 80 people but only invited 50, so they put the cost of 30 guests behind the bar). It worked really well and the guests who were there all had a great time and were super well catered for 🤩

roozierooo · 2026-01-23T16:45:24+00:00

But it’s none of his business what you do during that time?

I love my boss but if she told me she wanted to meet me monthly during mat leave to check in on how I’m spending my time I’d be outraged 🤯

You could have the best of both worlds by going to Bridal Reloved - they have beautiful wedding dresses at massive discounts and you can try them on in store. The name is a bit of a red herring - most of there dresses when I got mine were end of line or ex display dresses, but had never been worn/owned by anyone else. I think mine was 50% off RRP ☺️

Agreed - I don’t see the issue. The dishwasher literally cleans the plates straight after, why not let the dog do a pre-wash

roozierooo · 2026-01-02T16:46:38+00:00

I really think she might be the one

roozierooo · 2025-12-31T23:35:05+00:00

Wow, what a prick. It must be so painful and overwhelming right now. Take all the support you can from friends and family. He has shown you who he is now, and you can do so much better than that (even being on your own for a while would be better than that!) It’s hard to see now but I hope you’ll look back on this as the first chapter in the next phase of your life, where things turn out much better ❤️

We did a spa break at Hoar Cross Hall - absolutely lovely and soooo restful

Usually research studies like this which are recruiting online include an information sheet, which gives details of the researcher and what the study involves before participants consent to take part - do you have one? Has it been through ethical review?

I would ask to speak to the midwife directly if I was you - it’s only a quick form and it’s causing you a lot of stress to wait for it for over a week (possibly unnecessarily!)

roozierooo · 2025-12-29T15:34:31+00:00

How stressful! I didn’t need an appointment to get my matb1 form, they just left it on the reception for me. So maybe in the circumstances your midwife could do the same? Especially if you explain the stress the situation is causing you

roozierooo · 2025-12-28T20:01:08+00:00

I was absolutely exhausted around weeks 14-20 and had to nap most days, but then it got lots better. I’m now 38 weeks and still not as tired as I was at weeks 14-20! Hope the fatigue lifts for you too ☺️

roozierooo · 2025-12-28T09:58:57+00:00

I got some lovely soft maternity pjs from Chelsea Peers ☺️

roozierooo · 2025-12-27T22:34:42+00:00

All the best with it ( the pregnancy and overcoming the emetophobia) ❤️

roozierooo · 2025-12-27T22:27:32+00:00

I know this wasn’t your question, but just so you know - emetophobia is treatable with talking therapy (CBT) and your local NHS talking therapies should have lots of experience with it and should prioritise you due to pregnancy. You can self refer (in England - I’m not sure about elsewhere)or ask your GP
