My own homework in case it's any new advice for anyone: - If you don't have pets a pool tube is actually good to have for just after the hospital. If you do have pets, then something like a hard donut pillow with a waterproof cover might be another good option. Depending on how your pregnancy is currently going before then. You could get a preview into how sore you'll be. Otherwise my motto is just be prepared ahead of time. You don't know how sore you'll be until after delivery. - Pregnancy pillow can help a bit for sleeping on one side the whole time. If you sleep on both sides though small plushies work well, or if you can actually use those big round squish mallow stuffies as wedges, or if you get/make a really chunky snake like pillow that can help too. You just have to stuff it enough so it bends to your shape, but not too little to the point where it gives no relief. Another consideration is many pregnancy pillows really are big. If you have a significant other that you share a bed with, then keep in mind it'll be that pillow, your 3rd trimester belly, and for both side sleepers another pillow. All taking up bed width. So you'll probably wanna get creative if your bed isn't bigger than a double. - Depending on your situation. Pumps, car seats and more can be an option. Always check for local options. Some hospitals let you rent stuff if needed just in case, other things let you go through low income programs, some countries cover childbirth fully at varying wage gaps. Sometimes you pay for insurance, sometimes you don't. There's also other programs where you just pay shipping to rent some baby things. - If low income isn't your route, then definitely get family and registries involved. Make registries even for family vs just for free stuff. - If someone can sew and is willing to make baby clothes that's probably a ton easier for you. Always be prepped on the off chance they grow faster/slower than expected size wise. If they can't, then try thrift stores, or cheap online places. Aliexpress can be cheap for some stuff if you have the time to wait. Amazon might be another okay online option. - Every baby and pregnancy is different. Do not expect you'll be able to do everything, or nothing. Meaning be flexible and make sure it's clear to your household that constant bending/picking up at any height may not be easy, or healthy for you. Go off of how you feel and don't expect to be able to lift/not lift a certain weight. However, keep in mind the baby it's self is a bit like carrying a weighted Vest only in your tummy area lol. - Do not eat what your gut feeling says not to during pregnancy. There's always a reason for it. - Get as much support you can only from people you trust. Pregnancy is a really personal thing and the last thing you need is stress. - If you have anyone shipping from out of country to you for any reason. Either get them to ship via post office, Amazon, aliexpress, or any store that isnt a big box local store. So no Walmart for example. The people ordering the items should be sure the place they order from is used to people ordering from that website for both countries involved, or their used to international shipping of more than those countries. Otherwise it can result in loads of delivery issues, or even ordering/refund issues. - If you can and their willing to help. Have a trusted friend work on a no list. The no list is of situations that occur that are for any reason not things you should be handling as a pregnant women. This can even be for a trusted room mate. So if it's baby items not being properly delivered, or a code word if you need to sit asap in a public place, literally anything. Put it on that list. Not everyone knows what these needs will be. - If you aren't the one pregnant you might feel confused at the changes in how the pregnant person acts. If you're a pregnant women you might feel confused why another person comes across as mean, or over reacting, or extra rude/insensitive. Pregnant women have raging hormones in short that can Spike their emotions far worse vs not pregnant. With that being said it's no reason to not take seriously what they say. It just means take it factually vs emotionally and give it a sympathetic approach with some emotional aspect to it. For pregnant women though. They need to try their best to remember and self observe to know what is the hormones and what is actually them as a person normally. They need to assess whether the other person is actually over reacting, or if it's their hormones causing them to be too overwhelmed to stop the reaction on their end. If both parties can catch which one it is and talk about it. It'll make the emotional aspect of pregnancy far better. - If you're in a pinch a pack and play/playpen can also double as a crib apparently. There's really good multi purpose cribs out there that convert all the way into beds, or have changing tables though. So you pick how you wanna do what at that point. - If you know there's something you specifically can't stand whether a before, during, or after pregnancy thing. Plan ahead. If you don't want someone donating milk for your kid, then prepare for potential baby formula costs. If you can't breastfeed, then again prepare for that cost. If you don't want a trash can of diapers. Learn about reusable ones. If you don't wanna buy diapers that work bad for your specific baby. Go through samples first. If you don't have much space, then get the compact stuff, or for booster seats consider the ones without a back on them. Also, consider the baby car seats that have the infant inserts, but can be used for slightly older kids after until a booster seat is needed. - Make sure to look at cars and baby seat types. Not all will work well with eachother. - If for any reason you need to place a kid in the front seat. Do not just buckle them in like you would with the back seat. There's certain weight/height limits on booster seats, on rear/front facing car seats and which ones can go where/be used for what. Also, be especially aware of car airbags and where they come out/how far towards your kid. - water levels in your body can effect the fluid levels that keeps your baby comfortable. Drinking more water can not only keep your baby more likely in your body until its fully developed. It can also, prevent miscarriage a bit, because you're not dehydrating the baby either. - You and the baby are symbiotic to a degree. How that affects your pregnancy could vary. - Try to have as much prepped at least for 1-2 months after pregnancy just in case of anything at all. - The baby once born will be very needy. You will need to find a way to probably rotate sleeping schedules with at least one to a few ppl to get it what it needs the first while. - Have a hospital grab bag ready to go. Make two if it's only you and baby at the hospital. If someone else will be there. Make three bags, or one big one with dividers. Its good to have someone go with you so that they can carry the bag for you. In each bag/section you'll want your stuff, the baby stuff, the stuff of who's staying with you there. I would say prep for at least 1 week worth of clothes to be on safe side if you don't wanna constantly ask other person to grab stuff from home. Prep at least one of each travel size toiletries for each person just in case. Bring hairbrush/toothpaste. Bring shoes and clothes you don't care about/that are easy to get on/off as it's pregnancy and it will likely get messy at least at some point. The one coming with you doesn't have to worry as much about that, because their not delivering the baby per say. Make sure to bring chargers. I'm a fan of portable batteries honestly just in case there aren't many free plugs near me. The person pregnant should probably bring disposable underwear if they dont wanna worry about the mess. For baby bring a few diapers, a few sleepers, 1-2 onesies, mittens and hats just in case, baby wipes, a few recieving blankets. I don't honestly know about other stuff. I would say confirm what the place has for you that you're going to for your delivery I wish I had more info for the after pregnancy part, but I don't.

Ours did. To qualify for the Free" Target gift kit someone or yourself had to purchase something off the registry for at least $10 minimum. It told us everything on the app. That was a bummer cause it wasn't like that before.

@@j.perez-franco Ok yes technically something worth $10 has to be purchased off of the registry, however, it doesn't need to be the person receiving the bag. It could be a gift purchased by anyone. Sorry if that was confusing!

Ehh, I’m not overly impressed with their box. At your baby shower you’ll probably be gifted a plethora of diaper types of try. Who even wants to attempt “luxury” diapers, because if you love them is it something you’ll really want or be able to buy recurrently? The bottles they send are all plastic, as you mentioned, and probably not the best nipple types. Breast feeding expert, Dr. Robin Thompson midwife, recommends slow feed long (not actual nipple like) teets on the bottles, which I doubt any of these have. The rest are just random items that really aren’t that helpful or necessary, IMO.
@LaurenErroАй бұрын
I think for a FREE box it's pretty decent. It allows new parents to experiment and figure out what items they would like to repurchase. I plan to purchase the "luxury" diapers because they have less toxins than the standard ones. That's worth it to me. Also, I didn't receive any diapers at my baby shower.
