hypothyroid is an underactive thyroid which if its undetected can be very bad for the person and baby.....i believe my old dr said it can be deadly for baby if you dont have it under control and go thru a pregnancy unknowingly but they always check with your blood work anywayz.....and they watch mine closely since ive had problems once before..
you do not need a bassinet if you have a crib they have different levels as to how high and low you want your baby but i myself have one as its very handy for the first few months sleeping in it beside your bed so you have easy access to your baby and all the early feedings and such.....if you dont have lots of money then just buy the crip and use that as it saves alot......* crib and crib matress * crib sheets * receiving blankets and lots of them * few bottles (4-6 is usually good) * 1 bag new born diapers * baby wipes * clothes * diaper bag * Soothers if you want to use them * high chair althou you dont really need it until babys bigger * Car seat and stroller * as for shampoos and lotions just buy what you think will be good for baby usually hypo allergenic are very good.....i myself dont use lotions on my son.....
Do not buy baby powder they actually tell you not to use it as baby can breath in the powder and cause asthma and stuff.....you wont neet too many new born diapers since they grow so fast maybe buy a bag and if you by chance do need another grab it after....
