Owlet dream sock

Wondering if anyone has used the owlet dream sock and if it’s worth the money? Has anyone used anything similar that’s more affordable, or has any alternative suggestions?

Not pregnancy related, sorry. Just after some recommendations for decent bedding!

For my own bed, king size. Looking for a nice cotton sheet, that fits and doesn't cost the earth! So far I've found Matalan have changed their bedding to a weird, silky material which is too slippy to sleep in. Asda material is fine but doesn't last long, we've only had our sheets a couple of months and are alread...

Is anyone else planning to take their pregnancy pillow to the hospital?

I can't imagine being able to get comfortable without it, but then I don't want to look like I'm moving into the labour ward when i turn up with a mini suitcase, nappy bag and a massive pregnancy pillow 😂

Pregnancy Pillows

Hi guys! I’m looking for a good pregnancy pillow, does anyone have any recommendations? I can’t seem to find any stores near me that sell them and I’m skeptical to buy online incase it’s not as comfy as I’d want it to be. (Bad at returning items I get lazy 😂😩) thanks in advance for the help! 😇

Pregnancy Journal?

Has anyone got themselves a pregnancy journal? I remember having a look at buying one weeks ago but now I’m 14 weeks, I feel like I’ve missed out on that part of the journey.. is there any point in still buying one?

How much glucose 1 vs 3 hour

My testing place had me drink 100mg glucose for both the 1 hour and 3 hour tests. But I’m reading online that some places do less sugar for the 1 hour tests. What is your experience? Same amount of glucose each time or less for the 1 hour?

Back pain

I’m 22 weeks tomorrow and starting to get lower back pain now. Is anyone else in the same boat? I know my bump is getting much bigger now so I’m contemplating getting a pregnancy pillow. Has anyone got any recommendations? Any other tips for helping with back pain would be greatly appreciated ❤️

Babybub pillow - recommend?

Has anyone tried the Babybub pillow or another brand with the same design. These ads are super compelling but I’m hesitant to spend $50 since this is my last pregnancy (even though they do have free returns for 90 days after trying it out). If you’ve used one, let me know if you think it helps you sleep more comfort...

Pregnancy pillows - are they worth it?

Hi ladies I’m 21 weeks and starting to feel the bump a lot more. I’ve been considering buying a maternity pillow but not sure if they’re worth it. Will they be very necessary when I get a lot bigger? I’m conscious that I’m being targeted with lots of pregnancy and baby ads at the moment and don’t want to waste ...

Pregnancy pillow discussion

Hi everyone, has anyone started buying a pregnancy pillow? Any thoughts on which one to choose? I like the small pillow but am unsure if it’s good enough for back support. Please share your thoughts or experiences. Thank you! 🤍🤍

Introducing baby pillow and duvet

Has anyone introduced a baby pillow and duvet for their bubbas yet? Now we are entering the colder months I feel like the sleep bags just aren’t enough anymore and am just curious to see if anyone has started to introduce them yet?

Random question about eggs 🥚

Sorry, not pregnancy or child related… but I’m always confused when it comes to buying eggs. “Free range”, “organic”, “pasture raised”… 🤔 Can one of you other moms dumb this down for me and let me know what’s best to buy? Thanks in advance! 😅

Pillows!

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone has introduced a pillow yet or what the recommendations for these are? I know NHS says not until 1 but I’ve seen some medical journals say not to introduce them until after 2?
