u/shortntired

I'm 5'2 and expecting my first. I've read posts about gliders for petite parents and have spent hours looking at seat dimensions (depth and height especially). I've narrowed it down to a few and would love to get some reviews from people who have tried these:

- Delta Children Blair: this seems by far to be the tiniest one on the market based on reviews, but how's the comfort? Did you miss the recliner function?

- Babyletto Cali: haven't seen this one recommended but the dimensions seem a lot trimmer than the Kiwi.

- Nurture& Porto: marketed as a space saving option and their photos do show a petite woman but I can't see if sitting posture is good/feet are touching the floor, etc.

Or is there another one I'm missing that would end my search?

Also, where do you go to try gliders in person? I don't know how to shop offline anymore 🙃

My baby hasn't arrived yet and I'm working on building a small stash of diapers to try. In the middle of another sleepless night, my brain went into a slight panic about clothes. The clothing strategy I thought I was going to go with was two-way zip footed sleepers forever... But realizing that fitteds and prefolds plus wool covers can get bulky, I'm second guessing. In your experience, do footed pajamas fit okay over these setups, or do I need to rethink this? I could do dresses or baggy rompers during the day and sleep gowns/sacks at night to reduce tightness and bulk around baby's bottom, for example. Please share your experience!

Hello! I've searched this lovely community and saved some great recs for all kinds of birth prep methods. However, I get terribly overwhelmed and need help coming up with a plan because there's just so much stuff out there. I might just drown. So, I'm looking to hear what specific combination of resources worked for you. Where did you start? For example, did you do a hospital class first to get the basics, followed by something like Spinning Babies, plus a meditation program? Did you rely on a doula to fully prepare you from start to finish? Any insight would be much appreciated!

TL;dr: Have you had success with OGL for bump friendly clothing? Which pieces worked for you and how was the sizing?

I'm a FTM at 22 weeks and I've been in denial that I'm getting bigger - well, the bump has crept up on me! So far I've mostly avoided true maternity clothing except for two dresses which I haven't worn yet. My office wardrobe is mostly pants and tops and I'm style conscious. Getting dressed every morning has been stressful.

I ordered a pair of pants from OGL in a size up because they're stretchy, and they work, but the waistband is a little tight. I also ordered a great dress that will take me through the third trimester. However, I need one or two more pairs of pants and dresses. Would love to hear about your experience with this brand!
