Just a girl - poor hubby and poor you having to hear about such things! I know we're all aware of things which
could go wrong, but I prefer to distance myself from them if at all possible.
At what point should I really make sure I don't sleep on my stomach? I'm 14w4d, and just have the teeny tiniest of bumps. I don't do it on purpose, but almost everytime I wake up I've turned on my stomach while I'm sleeping. It's my normal way of sleeping, so I'm having a hard time trying to make sure I stay on my sides. It's not uncomfortable yet on my stomach, since I don't have a bump, but it is squishing the baby?
I asked my midwife this very same question, only yesterday! She said basically what others have said: if it's not uncomfortable, it's fine, and I might like to try putting a pillow under the bump for support/comfort.

I cannot sleep on my stomach anymore . It's uncomfortable and I can feel I am putting too much pressure on the bump .
As someone said ... I would start when it feels uncomfortable . But I also sleep only on my left side right now ( which you should do starting 16 week of pregnancy ) because I know it's good for the baby
I really struggle with the laying on one side, let alone being so specific about which side! I always lay on my left initially when I go to bed, but I move around quite a lot in the night, so there's no way I'd ever stay on one side for most or all of the night. Part of my issue is that to sleep on my left, I'm facing my husband (stay with me on this!): he turns over at some point and is facing me, and often is breathing through his mouth and I hate being breathed on! It's usually at that point that I turn over!
How are we all doing? I had my 12 week scan last week and they found a fibroid.
It was the first thing we saw when the probe was put on my tummy so I instinctively thought the baby had gone. Fortunately she was quick to move the probe and found the baby and said 'there's the baby'!
Anyone else have a fibroid picked up on a scan? It certainly explains my past, torrential bleeding, reoccurring miscarriages & unexplained cycle pains.
I have fibroids, but they were aware of them before my antenatal scans. However, despite 3.5 years of 'unexplained infertility' they showed up on my baseline scan for IVF; why on earth they hadn't been found/mentioned for previous investigative scans, I've no idea! As a result of these (and other complications!) I'm seeing a consultant and they will keep a closer eye on my and bus later in the pregnancy: I'll be scanned every 4 weeks from 20 weeks I think. When I mentioned to the sonographer who found the fibroids, the fact that it may have been preventing a pregnancy, she said it was unlikely, but in my mind, it's a bit of a coincidence.
Ok so I don't know if it is just my hormones or what but I received an invite to a baby shower last night and I think it was pretty rude! After just having my wedding a few months ago, etiquette is still on my mind. There were 3 pieces of paper in the invite. One was the babies"r"us registry info. The next one was a little poem about how to give the gift you were bringing. It said don't wrap it because we are just going to throw away that "crap" (yes, it actually said that) also don't bring a card, bring a book instead. Then the invite didn't have the girls last name (I know two women with the same first name having a baby within a month from one another) or what state it was in just "XX Main st". Wtf!? Is it just me or is it really odd???
Edit: just to add more background on this. For this girls bridal shower she didn't want gifts, but asked for gift cards as well (about as rude as asking for cash right?) and I never received a thank you card. I have a feeling I won't with this either if things aren't wrapped and there is no card to tell who have what...
Personally, I think I'd have ignored such an invitation. If at some point this person raises it directly with you, you could always just say that you know more than one person with that name and wasn't sure who it related to.
I don't 'like' being asked for money/gift cards as gifts. However, although OH and I did have a gift list for our wedding, we did also mention in the details that we would be glad of financial donations, but I think we worded it in such a way that it was diplomatic, and people still had the option of buying a gift from the list. (I hated doing it, but we'd lived together for years, so the usual wedding gifts just weren't appropriate). What I don't like about that invitation is that, as you say, if you're not wrapping the gifts or taking cards, there's no link between the guest and the gift and I am a stickler for thank yous!
Proud momma - you are having a run of bad luck aren't you! 2014 should be a better year!
if ever I can't sleep though I usually go on my phone until I literally drop it and fall asleep.
but there really are some inconsiderate bast**ds in the world!!
, I hope it gets better
