It’s hard being pregnant with a toddler. Could you buy some things second hand? With our first, we had so much things second hand and we kept everything so have not bought anything at all for this baby. I picked up a replacement Moses basket for free as our last one wasn’t very good. There are local online Facebook pages where lots of people give things away for free. I’ll be regifting our things after this baby too.
We are also lacking space as we live in a tiny 2 bedroom house but we’re in the process of buying a bigger house.
I’ve used Facebook marketplace to buy all my baby stuff and have barely spent a penny. Got a lot for free on there and other stuff for absolute bargains First baby, and I’ve literally spent less on the baby than I’ve actually saved on not being able to drink alcohol 😂 & I wasn’t a big drinker anyway ha
Hope you’re okay! I would say make lists, I literally don’t know how I would’ve coped without my lists I would’ve just forgotten everything and got overwhelmed and also marketplace as much as possible. In terms of making space, try and get rid of things if you can otherwise try and be smart with your space as much as possible, if you can vacuum pack the bigger sizes for now/everyone else’s summer clothes and store somewhere can this make more space for you? Me and my partner are stuck in our studio flat about to welcome our baby any day due to the chain falling through and totally relate to the small space/stress of it. Best thing I can say is make it practical, find space elsewhere to use. Even add a second hand chest of drawers to the lounge if you can as a side unit with hidden baby storage in the drawers. You got this!
Commenting to say you are not alone and also because it sucks to pour your heart and not get a response. If it helps it is 05:30 am . I could only slept for 2 hours . I am tired, moving houses and also getting over it. I am looking forward to meeting my child but the pregnancy journey has been alot.
