Something unconventional: a play nest. I got one as a shower gift and it has honestly been the best thing ever. As a newborn, it’s a comfortable place to put baby down, when learning to sit, it’s a safe place to bounce around as they build up that core strength, and the same with standing - it’s a safe place for them to pull themselves up and fall. My daughter is turning one in a couple of days and she still climbs into it and hangs out. She definitely learned most of her gross motor skills playing around in it and trying to get in/out of it, and still likes the little toys on it. I didn’t get a bumbo seat, nor did I need one, the play nest took care of that no problem.
Yeah, I think my levels were a little low in that first week combined with the much longer menstrual cycle that changed since I was sick. Who knows 🤷♀️
Spotting can mean pregnancy, or something else. Honestly, check with your Dr/primary healthcare provider.
If I'm not mistaken, you can buy strips which are cheaper. Something like this: Amazon. Amazon doesn't really ship to my country. So maybe look around, it may pay to always keep some with you.
