(This will likely need to be an announcement, for whoever takes care of that.)

I took this from another BMB and tweaked it slightly - so I am very open to any changes - let me know if there is anything you think should be added, removed, or be done earlier/later.

    Agree with @trapperkeeper87 and I would invite everyone, especially FTMs, to ask about any of these products here in this thread at any time, don’t feel obligated to wait until a particular week. I def needed a lot of this information way earlier. For example, I did my registry in like the first trimester haha. Also, fair warning, with Covid, shipping times for lots of things are SO long, and nursery furniture can definitely be one of those things! You may want to give yourself a lot of time. And my last piece of unsolicited advice is that the second trimester is often a time of a lot of energy and feeling like your normal self, whereas third trimester (for some) can be uncomfortable and tiring, especially towards the end, so the more you can get squared away earlier, the better!

    Ok, we'll bump up postpartum essentials. Maybe some weeks we'll have more than one topic.  Anybody know how to make this an announcement? @BumpAdmin?

    I think we can switch them with white noise machines because those are usually used once baby isn’t 1 foot from us at all times 😂

    @mokay19 wait you don't use yours to drown out all the newborn baby night noises that wake you up? I swear I use mine so I can't hear them more than anything 😂

    See I was thinking more "soothing sounds" sound machines.

    I hate white noise so much! It's distracting to me (I've tried other colors, too; same problem). I get it! My daughter sleeps with the trickling water noise and my husband has to keep the monitor with him in the living room until he comes to bed (an hour after me).

    I mean, they literally use white noise as a part of torture so I chose to not torture myself 🤣

    But to the original question, I just want to express that I agree that post partum products should be earlier on the list haha

    I love white noise so much and don’t sleep as well without it, personally. 🤍

    I use wordless instrumental music to sleep.  I <3 the Calm app.

    Does anyone have any pregnancy pillow recommendations? 

    I was looking at the pharmadoc pillow on Amazon but saw warning reviews saying the pillow has a sticker warning on it saying chemical inside May cause birth defects. I don’t even want to risk it. So is there a pregnancy pillow that doesn’t have that type of sticker?

    @1stbabydue0912 as @kboydbowman said, there's a thread about pillows. As far as the labels, if you're talking about California's Prop 65 warning, you may or may not want to worry about it. The typical critique of prop 65 warnings is that they're too indiscriminate to be useful. A P65 label could mean a product has a tiny bit of a relatively safe chemical, or that it has a massive amount of a really dangerous chemical.  https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/what-is-prop-65/ has a bit more information, if you're curious. 

    All of that said, you should absolutely do what makes you comfortable. If you decide you'd rather err on the side of caution, you can probably find a few options that don't require a P65 label. If it will keep you from sleeping well or feeling safe, then you should pick another option just for peace of mind!
    First time mom-to-be, due 9/25/22

    Some complicated chromosomal stuff going on - our fingers are crossed, but this may not go according to plan!

    @1stbabydue0912 I got the pharmadoc pillow. After looking into it, it seemed the prop65 warning was required while they did required testing because they’re a California company. They have passed the testing and my pillow did not come with that warning.

    @lilienne and @laj0217 Thank you both! That is exactly what I thinking about.
