Hi mummies,
For the SIDS prevention, read that we should let baby sleep on his/her back and not to have anything on the bed at all. No toys, pillows, bolsters, blankets, cot bumpers - our baby bed will be empty for the initial months and will just swaddle baby. Not sure if we will place/tie the cot bumper on the outside of the bed yet since bed is grilled on all 4 sides. Might just not. During our prenatal course, the consultant also mentioned that the benefit of not having the cot bumper is that you can see your baby immediately at all times while you are on your bed.
As to what I'll miss about being preggers - only one thing as well - the baby movements! Happy to drop the rest like the heartburn, gas, swollen pig trotters, nose bleeds, constipation and aches hahhaha...must say though that the other benefit is that hair looks more voluminous, at least marginally hehe..
Hi TYWong,
For the ache, are you talking about the rib cage at the bottom? I get that now and then during the 3rd trimester. Got it more during the end of 1st trim. Therapist says it is because of the space constraint - likely baby's limb jabbing into that area, so the pain.
Hi PatL,
Would have liked to join you guys but these few weeks are really crazy, still many errands to run on the weekends and have to clean poop bins too. Signed up for hypnobirthing on Saturdays as well which ends 1/5. Keep us posted about the next outing ok?
