On sleeping bags we mostly used 2.5 tog with ds, but it does depend how warm your nursery/wherever baby is sleeping at nightgets. If you can keep it below 20 degrees all year round then 2.5 tog bags are fine. But if we have a really hot summer you might struggle. So if temps are above 20, then you will want a 1 tog bag. In terms of blankets, as others have said, blankets are best for first couple of weeks for 2 main reasons. Firstly new borns like to be swaddled. They have just spent the last few weeks tightly packed inside us, so swaddling is reassuring at first till they get a bit more used to the world. Then secondly sleeping bags are usually too big at first, so you need an alternative. I think we swaddled for first 4-6 weeks roughly, then moved onto the 0-6 month bags. This has reminded me I'll need to check what togs are in what sizes. Ds was a Christmas baby, so our 0-6 month bags will all be heavier tog. So there's something else I might need. Still, no rush, 15 weeks to go plus 4-6 weeks once baby is here.
As for EPO capsules, the other thing I have been recommended y my consultant is perineal massage. Was told about this last time and couldn't quite bring myself to get hubby to do it for me. However I then ended up with a third degree tear. I'm lucky it HSS healed well, but I will be getting the massage done this time. Got specialist oil at ye baby show, but you can use any natural vegetable based oil. The one I've got smells a bit nicer though! Don't really fancy my lady parts smelling like a chip pan, even if it is just at night! Massage is recommended from 34 weeks onwards.
