So im stressing a bit now. Time has flown by and I will be induced in about a month and i still dont have a clue if i have what i need for bubs!
So, what are the main things that i need to have when bubs gets here? Name anything, even obvious things like a cot! Just so i can check off the things i have and make sure im ready! I feel as though i dont have everything.. argh. ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

there are some threads from waaaaaay back about this, although Ia m too lazy to look.
heres some I thought of Cot, sheets, wool blanket x 2 or 1 if money tight, you shouldn't use just fleece though as it dosent breathe, you know how if you have a fleece scarf and it gets all wet when you breathe on it? Bad for baby. 3 x singlets (min), 3 x body suits l/s 3 x s/s bodysuits, 3 x stretch and grows , socks, mittens, hats, cardigans, CARSEAT!! pram, nappies, wipes ummmm yeah well. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Breastpads & pads, the thicker the better! nappy rash cream, nipple cream, everyother cream under the sun!  woolen singlets, bodysuits, socks, booties, LOADS of naps!
Best idea is to look at the list  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Also if you go to the Baby Factory website this gives you a "what you'll need" list as well.
Only a month away huh? You'll probably have your's before I have mine you lucky thing!! ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Yeah, they say if everything goes well and the whole cholestasis thing doesnt get worse then ill be induced at 38 weeks. If it looks like it getting worse then it could even be 37. Heres hoping it doesnt get worse huh!
Okay, ive had a look and i am pretty sure i have everything i need besides a couple small things that i can get tomorrow. Like a dummy. Oh and I need to load up on nappies and wipes but thats about it i think. Yay. hehe. ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |
