Waters intact, still contracting but they're luckily not doing anything. Just had pethadine in the hope that I can sleep 10 hours of tightening and I got desperate.
How is everything xxxHi ladies I'm currently in hospital with contractions they don't think baby will be coming today but I have to stay in until my contractions stop xx
That's sounds good to me, Unicorn.
Generally unless you are hiring newborn nappies, the first size and birth-to-potty (one size) tend to fit best when they are over 8lbs AND a couple of weeks old and have started putting on fat. When they are newborn even if 7/8lb they are usually pretty skinny and the larger cloth nappies don't give a good fit.
If you're ordering newborn ones (up to 12lb?) they should still fit in August. Unless he's born 2 weeks late and is huge lol. But honestly I think you guessed about right.
If your baby comes early(er) and you want to get him in cloth sooner I'm sure you'll be able to arrange it with the nappy library then.
I have my local nappy library person coming to see me in a couple of weeks because I was going to hire some newborn nappies but then Tots bots had their Teenyfits (6-12lb) on half price so I got 5 (and already had a few other newborn size) and then it was Real Nappy Week this week so cloth nappies have been on sale so I've bought quite a few. And I also bought a few 'gently used' ones too lol. So don't actually think I will need to hire any now lol! I have around 45-50 nappies altogether and I still have to send off for my free kit from the council (you get about 3 nappies, a wrap, liners, and wet nappy bag) and I have some in the loft from when I had my 9yr old in cloth! LOL.
I saw my aunt's [foster] baby today lol.
He's almost 12 weeks old but he only weighed 4lb 14oz at birth! So must have been a bit early. He's still in 0-3m clothes and size 1 pampers, and looks more like an 8 week old than 3 month old.
I'm nearly 30 weeks!
Does anyone else still not feel this is real sometimes?
My aunt & uncle foster and last night they had 3 boys placed with them - a 7yr old, 6yr old and a baby! (some confusion over the baby's age, it's either 7 weeks or 11 weeks old or somewhere between the two, my aunt wasn't sure which!)
We are going over tomorrow and I'm insanely excited about tiny baby cuddles and was getting emotional & upset we don't live closer or I'd be round every day lol... had to remind myself I'll have my own baby in less than 3 months.
I still find it hard to believe that I am actually going to have a baby of my own soon
such a lovely thing your aunt and uncle do!
yes, like you, i cant believe that i will have a baby of my own soon!!! sooo excited! it has been too long! wow! you are already 30weeks! that is sooo amazing! 9 weeks until i am full term and it feels like it will go quickly! (well i hope so); i dont want baby to come early though as my maternity leave starts on 15 July (he is due on 20) .. i dont mind him coming a week early i suppose.. well lets c! just sooo excited!! havent bought much at all! second week in june is when we plan to buy everything.
I'm hoping mine comes early (spontaeneous labour) like at 37-39 weeks because I want to avoid induction (I had OC with my other two and was induced, this time I'm hoping I'll escape it, but if I do get it again I'll refuse induction as long as possible but the longer I go the harder it'll be to avoid/refuse)
Phoenix i c ant believe you took your leave so early! that's so cool! how long is your leave though? mine is only 6months so every second counts.
Great, thank you Phoenix. And do you think the newborn ones will give me a good idea of which first size ones to buy, or I'd be next hiring a first size set after the newborn set? Xx
