DO NOT GOTO MOTHERCARE WITHOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS ALREADY HAD A BABY.
Mothercare, is a torture dungeon for first time moms/dads.
Want a bath?
Well come and pick from the 20 different styles, and do you want a top and tail basin, and a specially tri shaped sponge, and ear syringes, and this foam support, or this terry towel support, or this plastic support, or do you just want a bath mat with an inflateable support, or an inflateable bath !?
Want a playpen or bouncy chair?
Well we have ones that vibrate, ones that rock, ones that sing, ones that have toys, ones that play songs, ones you can record your voice on, one that has 5 adjustable positions, one that has a removable tray for weaning, one that is one wheels, one that flatpacks for travel
OR
We have donut playmats, and flat playmats, and playmats with borders and playmats with crinkly tabs, and play mats with dangle toys, and play mats that sing, and playmats that play music, and playmats that are wipe clean, and playmats that are super soft
OR
We have baby bean bags!
Oh and did we mention that we are going to charge you extorninate prices for all of this, While providing NO customer service?

So , Guess where I went today Lol
I went in to mothercare to buy a baby bath, and a bouncy chair. I have no clue what i need on a baby bath or a bouncy chair, and with everything blaring infront of me like that, I failed to make a decision.
None of the staff were willing to help me, simply to point out all the different things they had. I ended up cross legged on the floor in tears.
So I gave up on the idea, And got a bath thermometer, and a nursery thermometer, because those were the ONLY thing they didnt have hundreds of variety of.
Oh.. And I decided to treat myself to some new underwear. Got some yummy socks, (Yes i get excited over socks) pants, and decided to get a maternity bra as mine is ridiculously tight now.
I asked one of the staff if they could do a measuring for me as I wasnt sure what size I am.. The response?
"There is a measuring tape in the changing room and instructions on the door"
Well thanks..
Anyway, got what i think is right, it feels right anyway. And a new top, So im feeling SEXYYY ! Along with my new tummy support bands..Which I like.. But im not sure how much support they really give.
Oh and I got a free pack of nappies from tescos with my voucher to cheer myself up for a failed trip that i was SO excited about this morning
