****August babies Tri 2 singing hot hot hot *****

[Jamie.d]

My scan isn't until 5th April. I'm jealous everyone knows the sex and I don't

What kind of movement is everyone feeling? I'm still only getting a feint kick once or twice a day :/

how far are you Juice?

I have only started feeling solid kicks in the last week or so x up to 24 weeks with my first I didn't feel anything they will get stronger trust me! x

 

[Juice]

I'm 19w 1d. Even though I've had 2 normal pregnancies and they've only been 2 years apart, I just don't remember things like this! And just recently my head has been completely mashed! I never believed in baby brain before this pregnancy

 

[SarahTWD]

I've started buying little bits. Going to wait until after my GTT before buying some of the big things though. As soon as we found out the sex we had to buy something.

 

[Xsarahh]

I've been feeling movement all day and just had what I think was braxton hicks - my stomach went really tight a minute later had cramp low down where everything felt really really tight when standing. X

Aw you still have loads of time I'm staying team yellow but I get a little jealous too!
This pregnancy is so different for me as well! I was huge with my other two and my belly is still pretty much flat!! And yes the baby brains no one believes me when I say it's real! X

I've had braxton hicks too! I definitely remember them from last time! They're not too bad now but I remember in tri3 with dd2 they used to make me breathless every time! So weird!

Ok excuse me for my ignorance, but I am starting to think about what to buy and my question is: what do babies wear? Looking online, I see that the recommendation for newborns is generally a vest with a sleep suit on top, plus a cardigan or whatever for going outside. Even in August? I’m thinking it might be hot? I’d love some advice from more experienced mums please! My idea is that I won’t buy too many clothes before the baby is born but obviously we’ll need some newborn outfits.

Also, I’ve been looking at Moses baskets and it seems that they are really convenient because you can move them around and it’s an easy way of having the baby in the same room as you at first, but I’ve also read that children grow out of them really fast and not all babies like them. I think we can ( just about) fit a cot into our bedroom so what would we do then during the day if we didn’t have a Moses basket? I’m guessing it’s better to be able to have the baby in the same room at all times during the day...

Thank you! Pretty obvious I’m a first timer!

I’m absolutely no help to you as I’m also here in the clueless first timer camp but great questions and I look forward to seeing what advice others give! Xx

I bought loads of cute little outfits for my babies and ended up using quite a lot of them, but it is SO much easier for them to live in onesies. If we weren't leaving the house they stayed in jimjams.

Our moses basket stayed in our room next to the bed. They grew out of it at around 3 or 4 months. Downstairs we used a bouncy chair for the first baby and a swinging chair thing for our second. However it's recommended that they are lay flat as much as possible, so a moses basket would have been a safer option.

Thank you!

 

[SarahTWD]

I have my 20 week scan tomorrow morning, can't wait to see my little boy again

 

[Red_eric]

How did it go, Sarah?

 

[SarahTWD]

How did it go, Sarah?

I have had to be booked in to a rescan as he was in an awkward position, his legs were curled up tightly, his arms were in front of his face so they couldn't get all the measurements or see everything they needed to see. The sonographer said everything looks fine and she isn't concerned about anything but she would rather try again to have a proper look at him. We saw his heart bearing but they couldn't get a good enough look at it. Back again on April 11th and hopefully he will cooperate a bit better lol xx

 

[Red_eric]

Oh well - at least you’ll get to see him again.

Hope this might help-

My little boy was a may baby so still quite small come august (only 5lb born) depending on how hot it was we tended to go with either vests or t shirt and shorts or short rompers during the day and then either vest and blanket or baby grow for bed or lounging around the house. My niece was a June baby and either had girl rompers or vests and thin dresses on if she was out. Always worth having some light cardigans or just blankets though as surprising how chilly it can be for babies in the shade or if there is a breeze. It is really helpful for them to have a vest on as it tends to keep the nappy in place as well

Regarding sleeping arrangements last time we had a wooden crib upstairs and a pop up Moses basket that we used downstairs or in the garden. This time however we are planning to use the crib again and carry cot part of our pram downstairs to raise it off the floor from the toddler. It doesn't just depend on the size of child but also how they sleep as to how quickly they grow out of these things. my little boy likes to sleep with his arms starfish style so needed more space quite quickly even though he was tiny.

I had to go back today for another scan because baby was in awkward position so she couldn’t see one of the views of the spine she needed. Baby was laying the wrong way again but after a long time she saw what she needed. I was almost upside down on the bed! Got lots of photos

Last week the sonographer said she thought it was a girl. I didn’t want to get excited thinking that she may of got it wrong but she confirmed girl again today

Aww congrats on a girl

Yeah mine was curled up so tightly that she struggles to see the majority of his organs, his face or measure his legs - little bugger lol. I'm going to down a bottle of coke before the scan next time to make sure he's awake

Thanks for this - I hadn’t seen that they do short versions of the romper but I can see that would make sense.

I like the idea of using the carry cot part of the prom downstairs- that sounds cost effective.

This is really helpful, thank you! *starts manically Googling rompers*
