    No, I bought in a shop in Adyar, Chennai, specially for mom and baby.
    I'm yet to buy small bed with mosquito net, towels, wipes, etc.. Since it is my first baby unsure about the usage of nursing bras, nursing pillows, etc. I feel scared to use diapers from the day 1, so I requested my mom to prepare cotton home made panties. Also I'm not ready to place baby in air conditioned room too. Planning for some natural ways that will not harm baby.

    I will go to my native for this Diwali, starting my maternity windows in office. So I feel whatsapp group will be more easy for communication too. If you all think it is ok, then we can proceed making a "expected mom" group in whatsapp.

    Yes, I'm planning to take ML from Diwali.

    Your list is good, but I did not add any of the makeup kits, I think we might not be getting to do any o it,. Also I feel that smell or the chemicals used in those items may create allergies to babies. Even now I'm not using any of them, only bindi and lip balm. I use perfumes as I'm going to office.

    My friend suggested not to buy any of the maternity pads one or two is enough, others we can use the classic models of pads like carefree or long night pads is enough.

    I have added 1 kettle in the list.

    If you wish to join whatsapp group, Please PM your personal number to me, so we can share our experiences instantly.

    Hello Beauties,
    My EDD is Dec 5. With insulin and aspirin, practical expectation would be to cross 38weeks.
    Fingers crossed as no one knows what might happen. It's all in HIS hands!!
    Good luck to one and all. I would love to shop for my bub , however restricted by the age old tradition of using old stuff.Would probably buy some quick dry sheets and swaddles,yes.
    Feeding nighties are also on the list.
    Breast pump and glass feeding bottles are on th list but I have not decided on them yet.

    Cheers,
    Preetha
