Top products from r/May2017Bumpers

I looked on Amazon for strollers under $200 with the best reveiws. The way I shop is by deciding on a price I'm comfortable with and then find the product under that price with the best reviews and so far it has worked out. For my first we bought this one:

I love it! And for my second we bought a double stroller:

Haven't used it but we set it up and like the way it feels and it's a great price!

I'm late to the party, but I really love Hempz lotion. There are different scents but a more plain one might be better to start off with since your skin is flaking.

They also make a fabulous body oil. I use it in the shower when my skin is really dry or right after shaving. Just be careful, it will make everything slippery if you spill it!!

I'm having twins too! My EDD is in May also but in all likelyhood, they'll be born in April because that's what twins do. I can't believe they missed it in the first ultrasound! I had ultrasounds at 6 and 8 weeks (both internal) and it was clear as day but it may be because mine are fraternal (separate sacks). Are yours identical or fraternal?

I've been having the same logistical concerns about how to deal with TWO at the same time. Check out r/parentsofmultiples. There is a lot of good advice there.

Also, I found that most maternity books don't talk much about multiples. I found this book and I've found it very helpful so far.

We haven't bought ours yet but we're going for this one (I think there's a reasonable chance relatives will get it for us for a shower so it's on our registry): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K7QEIHS/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_ttl?ie=UTF8&colid=2V2IMJ37I7AAM&coliid=IM2UXDS3BQL0J&vs=1

It was on the recommended list from the book Baby Bargains (which I've been using as like my baby gear bible) and I think it's cute and simple.

Ah shit. I had that one in my hand today but went with this one instead.

They're definitely di-di, but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they're fraternal? Apparently if the embryo split early enough, they can still develop in their own sacks.

And thanks for the rec, I'll definitely check that sub out. Someone over there should know how the heck to feed two babies simultaneously.

After every shower I've been using Argan oil and this shea body butter The Argan oil has been great on my face too... it's actually helped balance out my skin tone - I was getting super dry, rashy cheeks and then greasy acne on my chin and nose, ugh. Anyway both that and the body butter have been awesome so far!

I've always done it on the bed in the early weeks at night time. We have a changing pad that we kept on top of a dresser for the day time changes, and slowly moved to changing babies wherever we were around the house! I definitely recommend a changing pad for you, you could carry it around the house and put it on top of your bed also with no mess. They're pretty large but made of foam with a plastic cover, so they squish up well for storage and are very light weight. Something like this.

Yes!! It's horrible. I get, like, cramps in my glutes. Hubby says he felt a knot in there. Luckily we have this thing which is amazing. I guess you could try a tennis ball, too? Like laying on top of one on the floor and kind of rolling on it. Anyway these cramps get worse when I do everyday things like push the gas/clutch/brake pedals. It's so dumb. My theory is baby is stealing all my nutrients, cartilage, and connective tissues.

We were planning to use a huge, multi pouch backpack we already had. Then we were gifted a modern, large diaper bag pack pack. Bonus, it is lined for spills!

It is this one:

We haven't used it yet but it seems nice. Gender neutral too.

I tried a wedge pillow and hated it. I ended up settling on a "wellness wedge" plastic bed lift that you stick under the mattress to lift the actual head of the bed. Then I stack some pillows so I have one behind my upper back and 2 transitioning up to behind my head so I'm rather upright. It works really well for me. This is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008JH4L6K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485122623&sr=8-1&keywords=bed+wedge+lift

My stomach-sleeper husband HATED this, but for back sleeping and even side sleeping it's a pretty comfortable option.

I just bought this to wear either on Halloween or at my toddler's birthday party, if that happens before then :)

My husband found this one. It seems pretty good. The price scared me though so I found a chicco instead.

It was only 300 then. And my mom actually insisted on giving it to us for Christmas, so yay!

We haven't bought it yet, but we're going with [this one]

I lived on Excedrin Migraine before getting pregnant. When I'm getting a migraine now (I get the typical "aura" so I know it's coming) I take two Tylenol and drink some soda. Then I sit with an ice pack head and on for about 30 mins. This has worked each time and stopped me from progressing into full blown migraine. This is the ice pack I use It was the first thing I bought when I found out I was pregnant. It looks silly but has been a life saver.
