Hey everyone,
I'm 20 and my boyfriend is 23, we are really ready and willing to have our first child and I was just looking for some advice from parents young and old.
I'm looking for advice on Ovulation stuff(a little bit confusing.), How long it took for others to conceive, best postions. and finally a short list of things ill be expecting to buy for bubs when he or she gets here.
Thanks everyone original.gif

Hi and welcome.

If you go to the forum index here and scroll down, you'll see there is a whole "Trying to Conceive" section where you can read back on other discussions and post specific questions related to ovulation, positions etc.

EB also has an ovulation calculator on the left hand side of the page under "forum links" with a green arrow pointing to it.

Good luck.

Well, I can't really advise on ovulation and positions as I just got pregnant too easily. As for things to buy, you can buy magazines on pregnancy and I found they were very helpful. Here's a few things off the top of my head.

pram
cot/bassinette
bath
rocker/swing
blankets
sheets
towels

grosuits
singlets
bodysuits
hats
cardigans/jackets
socks
mittens
bibs

nappies
baby toiletries-baby bath wash/shampoo/cotton balls/lotion

depending on how you're feeding-bottles, steriliser, breast pump

I'm sure there's heaps more, but that's enough to get started. Good luck.
