Sorry if that post ran on. I am on my phone and nearing my wits end.

 

[bella21]

mac i don't really have any suggestions but i hope it gets better for you! Chase is also wide awake from 7-10 (with usually 2 hours of crying in there), I don't ever try and keep him awake during the day though, I always let him sleep as long as he needs to.

 

[Barhanita]

Mac, I gave up with Lena. But not waking up during the day actually helped.. I just let her be.

Lena has been eating for 5 hours!! She probably got 1 million oz by now. I hope it's a growth spurt.

 

[Sooz]

There's a six week growth spurt bar.

We're baby led here. I know from Paige sleep breeds sleep and good day naps lead to a good night. Mason slept four hours yesterday afternoon and we left him to it.

 

[JenzyKY]

I can't get mine to go to bed til 10-11 pm. He cries and eats a lot every evening.

so people pissed me off on fb so i posted this
No news / No baby yet? Well this is fairly obvious by the fact that i’m still pregnant or on the phone to you. No, I didn’t secretly have the baby and not tell you since you last phoned to ask yesterday!



Any twinges / signs of labour? When I have had signs, its been a false alarm. This is frustrating enough without having to explain it to every man and their dog. Last time I had no signs whatsoever even 2 hours before I went into full on labour. This time I have had loads of signs and still have no baby. I have discovered my signs mean NOTHING!



I think they’ll come on (insert date). Is this supposed to make me feel better? You think, based on nothing, that they will come on a random date you’ve plucked out of the air. I’ll look forward to that and pencil it in the diary then! Especially annoying when the original dates people had guessed have all passed and everyone just starts guessing again!



Baby will come when they are ready. Oh really, I never knew it worked like that. That makes me feel loads better because I thought I’d be pregnant forever! I know you are trying to help, but it doesn’t make me feel any better when I want them to come NOW!



Enjoy your rest / sleep while you can. I have a toddler to entertain. I have work to do. I am up to pee about 100 times a night. I cannot get comfy sitting, and can’t stand up for long periods of time either. Sitting on the sofa or lying in bed isn’t even comfy any more. I wake up in the night and cannot get back to sleep for hours. I am kept awake with about 10 different aches and pains. Not really that much of a rest is it?



Should you really be going there / doing that? (In response to me saying we are going anywhere like the supermarket / shops / for a walk.) I cannot stay locked up every day. I cannot sit on the sofa all day long. The waiting is driving me crazy and if I don’t get out or do things around the house I may well explode.



Oh my god you are huge / massive / look like you are going to pop etc. Am I? I hadn’t noticed. What do people expect you to respond when they say this?! Feeling this uncomfortable is not fun as it is without people telling you how ridiculously large you look.



Ooooh this baby is going to be a big one then. Thanks for that. I’m not scared enough of how big baby is going to grow – this really helps!!



Eat this / do that to induce labour. I’ve tried everything. Everything. I now give up on home remedies and will accept that I’m not going to be able to influence it!



Let me know the second you start in labour! Errr….. No! Unless you are immediate family who will be looking after my other daughter you will find out when the baby is born. When I am in labour do you think I will want to be sat texting everyone I know to update them on progress? No. I will be focussing on coping with the pain!

Baby hopes

I can never get hama to nap over 1hour during the day unless I am out and he will sleep then. At night he goes of to sleep at 11.30 - 12.30 and I just can't get him to go any earlier! Last night he woke every 2hours. I think he might be going through a growth spirt as has been a hungry boy all night.

 

[Nela]

Hey girls,

Posting a quickie to let you all know I am still here. Really having to adjust to this whole 'mum' thing Been having mega problems with breastfeeding so that has been exhausting, stressful, and very time-consuming. Kiddo is mainly formula fed at the moment but trying hard to at least pump some breastmilk for him.

Thinking of all of you!

That is so spot on if how I felt for those 12 days!! I hope people listen to you and leave you alone!

I am letting Melody sleep/feed when she wants- I have had to wake her during Phoebes nursery run ofc, but she just grumbles then goes back to sleep.. A MW told me that babies are at their fussiest 7-11pm too

I can identify with every single word you said here. Every word. I was at this 3 times and I felt like killing someone 3 times.
Someone needs to write an article or a book on what not to say to a pregnant woman with a red section of what not to say to an over due pregnant woman if you value your life. I cant think why people are so stupid to say some of the things they do.
