The first baby items: now is the time to shop and stock up
How is your baby growing?
At 26 weeks of pregnancy, your baby can now distinguish between light and dark.
If your baby feels that there is too much light, they may blink their eyes and turn their head 'into the shade.' During exercise, your baby often kicks. This is an important learning step for your baby, as it helps them learn the limits of their body and understand their movements.
How is your belly growing?
Gradually, your baby is displacing your internal organs from their normal position. Don't worry, everything will return to its place after childbirth. However, due to the increasing lack of space in your belly, various symptoms may appear, such as shortness of breath, flatulence or constipation. You can read in the guide what can help you.
Do you feel pain in your coccyx when you sit down? A seat cushion can provide relief if the weight of the baby and uterus puts too much strain on your tendons and muscles.
What makes you grow as a family?
Have you already bought the first items for your baby? If you've been indifferent to baby stores until now, now is the time to buy everything you need for the new member of your family.
We have prepared a list of the things you will need at the beginning here.
Another important tip from mom Christine about clothes:
You don't have to buy everything new; second-hand items are also fine, or you can borrow things from others who already have older children. This can save you a lot of money. Children get their clothes dirty with vomit and gas anyway, and the good thing is that the clothes have already been washed, so any harmful substances have already been rinsed out ;-)
