Just thought it would be a good idea to share some tips for first time mums.

My number one tip is to store your stocked packets of wipes upside down so all the moisture goes to the top of the pack. when you come to use them the wipes you take first wont be dry.

Your First Trimester:
1 st Month = Weeks 1,2,3,4
2 nd Month = Weeks 5,6,7,8
3 rd Month = Weeks 9,10,11,12,13

Your Second Trimester:
4 th Month = Wks 14,15,16,17
5 th Month = Wks 18,19,20,21
6 th Month = Wks 22,23,24,25,26

Your Third Trimester:
7 th Month = Wks 27,28,29,30
8 th Month = Wks 31,32,33,34,35
9 th Month = Wks 36,37,38,39,40

Seen this in the Dec forum and thought it would be nice to share.....

Dear Mummy and Daddy,

Please keep this letter from me in a place where you can read it and re-read it when things are rough and you are feeling down.

1. Please don't expect too much from me as a newborn baby, or too much from yourselves as parents. Give us both six weeks as a birthday present, six weeks for me to grow, develop, mature, and become more stable and predictable - six weeks for you to rest and relax and allow your body to get back to normal.

2. Please feed me when I am hungry, I never knew hunger in your womb and clocks and time mean little to me.

3. Please hold, cuddle, kiss, touch, stroke, and croon to me. I was always held closely in your womb and have never been alone before.

4. Please forgive me if I cry a lot. I am not a tyrant who was sent to make your life miserable, the only way I can tell you I am not happy is with my cry, bear with me and in a short time, as I mature, I will spend less time crying and more time
Socialising

5. Please take the time to find out who I am, how I differ from you and how much I can bring you. Watch me carefully and I'll tell things which sooth, console and please me.

6. Please remember that I am resilient and can withstand the many natural mistakes you'll make with me. As long as you make them with love, I cannot be harmed.

7. Please don't be disappointed when I am not the perfect baby you expected nor be disappointed with yourselves when you are not the perfect parents.

8. Please take care yourself; eat a balanced diet, rest, and exercise so that when we are together you have the patience and energy to take care of me. The cure for a fussy baby is more rest for Mom.

9. Please take care of your relationship with each other. What good is family bonding if there is no family left for me to bond with.

10. Keep the "big picture" in mind. I'll be like this for a very short time, though is seems like forever to you now. Although I may have turned your life upside down, please remind yourselves that things will be back to normal before long.

Enjoy me - I'll never be this little again! Love Baby

Hey I recently moved to the area 8 months ago after the birth of my daughter but now am finding that its a little lonely with not much around and no friends or relatives around me and was wondering if any one knew of any baby and toddler groups around or any groups where mothers and babies meet up for coffee mornings all around cross keys area of Newport. Thanks in advance.
