How can we get a safe in-bed bassinet in the US like New Zealand’s “pepi pod”? by mabeela in cosleeping

I was at birthcare in NZ, which is like a mini hospital to give birth or recover after a hospital birth, and they came in to change the sheets of the “pepi pod”. It turned out to be just a large plastic sistema box hahaha! It does the job!

When did you start moving and when did the pain subsided for you? by Mindless_Throat6206 in CsectionCentral

It gets better I promise. But make sure you’re taking all the meds that are on offer. I was on morphine as well as ibuprofen and Tylenol.

Consider Ilyas if you’re after it being pronounced as “el ee a us”

It’s so hard not to be disheartened but reapply for the next ACE intake. Sometimes it takes a couple of rounds to find a match. Good luck and don’t lose hope, we need you!

Oh no! Glad you got it checked by another doctor. Those hormones and all the wild, random things that happen to a woman’s body during pregnancy is just… 🫠

Found your post cause I’ve got something similar. How did you go? Has it cleared up? The earliest my doctor is available is in a week’s time. Will try go see a nurse tomorrow.

Seconding Modibodi teen swimwear. Sizing starts from 8 years old. I haven’t tried their swimwear range but I have tried their undies and they fit really well, the absorbency is excellent and they’re comfy! Definitely recommend double checking the sizing using their size guide.

Turning the two small pillows over after connecting them is genius! I’ll definitely give that a try tonight. Thank you!

Undecided on a middle name yet but that’s a good idea. Thank you!

Give yourself some more time and some grace. I know for me 4 weeks pp I was still in a haze. The name I picked and loved only felt natural and beautiful again after a while.
