    Could you perhaps do a video on baby clothes, please? What you used, what you should have ready for when the baby is born and how you decide what they should wear, layers etc. Thank you!

    This was so helpful, thank you! I'm 28 weeks on Sunday, and its starting to feel real and nerve-wracking. Videos like this really help me feel more calm, its really reassuring to hear people say they learned as they went. I feel like no matter how much research I do, I'll never be fully prepared so hoping to just enjoy the learning curve

I'd forgotten about putting the new nappy underneath them before changing, and how useful Wonder Weeks is (although think it was free 5 years ago, shame we have to pay now but it is a fab app so definitely worth it!) Congratulations to everyone else expecting in 2021!xx

I think health professionals can be really pressurising I would just stand your ground that’s what I’m doing and I’m bringing bottles to the hospital to bring home the point. It’s your body your baby you do what you think is best I have been repeating this mantra! Good luck and stick to your guns 😊😊

      Hey, I have read mixed things but as far as I’m concerned it’s exactly the same as holding him and he’s Blum him less fussy doing it on his own. My health visitor told me that a lot of twin mums do this too. Of course, only ever do what you’re comfortable doing ☺️
