[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also a pregnant FTM. I am also particular about what I buy for this baby given how challenging it was to conceive and the fact that I’m 35.  Though to be fair, I’m particular in general 😉.

I probably wouldn’t care too much about the onesies (bc the baby will need lounge around the house clothes to throw up in.) Whatwould piss me if off is the crib mattress and being gifted more durable items. It’s kind, but I want the mattress I want. Same with the changing pad, playard, loungers, baby monitor etc. I see it as every woman gets to be a first time mom once - don’t take my joy under the guise of saving me money or worse, letting me know how little I know. You too, were once a first time mom. I want the advice for sure, but some people overstep.

So I get where you’re coming from OP.  Im actually fairly thrifty but am nervous about having one friend see my registry. I know she’ll judge me for not buying a Mesa, not a Chico, or a Dock a Tot instead of a Boppy Pillow. I suspect that’s what you’re worried about too - the judgement. [/quote]

She gave her a mattress pad, not a mattress. She’s giving her the type of items you need a lot of and are not highly visible. How do you see that as judgment?

Also, we all love our babies whether they were easy or hard to conceive. I hate that nonsense. Be particular and buy what you want but friends are not judging your mattress pad. And they love their babies just as much.[/quote]
