24 are you not sleeping because your uncomfortable or in pain?

 

[24/7]

Just uncomfortable as Sam is so high, and he seems very unsettled at the moment and seems to get very distressed when I lay down and sometimes even when I sit down and then I can't relax enough to get to sleep.... xx

Morning ladies!

Hope Joshua has a lovely birthday

I've got midwife tomorrow so i'll get another sweep. I'm going to say do a really good one My bump is starting to hurt at night if i roll over. I have to sit up and position myself, i think it's my muscles. It kills!

 

[new_to_ttc]

I would ring your midwife hun, and maybe get her to put a doppler on you when you lying down, or even go up tot he antenatal ward and go on a montior whilst you're lying down so they can make sure he is ok. It doesnt sound like normal late stage uncomfortableness, Sam shouldnt be effected by you lying down but for you're comfort have you tried pillows between your knees and under your bump? With my ribs Ive found sleeping more elvated helps, so maybe a few extra cushions if you can manage them?

Im not feeling 100% today, and I dont know how much of it is real or how much is psychological worry! Every twinge and niggle this morning has me panicing. Ive also had a lot of BM already today, but its a weird colour (sorry tmi) so Im hoping its a side effect from the iron??? and nothing more, Ive tried to ring my doctors for a phone consultation but cant speak to them until about 11.30. Wiggler, you were taking iron suppliments, did it change your BM??

 

[lisaf]

hey new... I believe iron supplements make BM really dark, almost black sometimes...

I'm sitting up at 1am because DH and I just had a stupid spat. He wanted the lights off at 1am, but he kept talking to me when I was trying to read so I told him I'd turn the lights off at 1:05 and he got all whiny and pissy so I turned the light off and got up and came out here. Now he's all mad that I got out of bed etc.. UGH.. I think he's been stealing some of my pregnancy hormones!

 

[24/7]

I'll see how he goes today, for the first time in ages he is having a nap?! High maintenance child already!!

When I've take iron in the past it has made my poo black, but oddly it's gone abit strange the last few days and I'm not on iron tablet?! I ran it past OH yesterday, poor man and he thought it was old poo departing.... Oh how I love this thread!! xx

Sorry you guys have been uncomfortable , glad you had a good nights sleep new.
Hope all is ok 24.

I had a pretty crappy night with left hip pain again. Yesterday evening, after a session on the ball I got into bed and baby was going crackers and repeatedly aiming at my bladder. It was REALLY uncomfortable and resulted in 3 pees in 10 minutes. I wonder if baby was getting revenge for all the bouncing? I said to my bump "if you're too cramped get out you little bugger" while hubby looked at me in confusion.

Hubby and I are driving into my work today to pick up the high chair they got me and say hi. Made some cookies to take and did a naughty and licked the mix from spoons and bowl.

 

[new_to_ttc]

men hormones are far worse than womens or pregnancy ones!! Urghhh lol but you do need your sleep so go back to bed and kick him out

 

[lisaf]

the problem is that I wasn't tired yet, lol.. going back to bed is no victory for me

 

[new_to_ttc]

lol only here can we change from food to poo to sex all day long without anyone batting an eye lid lol... but they not black, I was expecting black, they like a pastey green colour and very soft (but not loose!). Ive never taken iron before, pmsl my family suffer from too much iron usually (dad has to have a pint of blood drained a month to control it!), so no one in my family can help lol

span how naughty licking the spoon! lol have a nice time with your colleagues!

24 hope he settles down for you.

hope everyone gets some better sleep soon, we all going to be zombie mummies at this rate!

 

[new_to_ttc]

yeah but but but but lisa!!! lolol... the victory is kicking him out put the light on and carry on reading lol

 

[lisaf]

Lol... I'm not looking to WIN anything here. Besides, he's probably lying in bed not sleeping right now anyway and feeling crummy... if I needed a victory, thats enough for me

Oh.. and as for the green poo? Well not sure you knew this but green, when dark enough actually makes the color black... I've had some 'black' eyeliners that were really super dark green (as evidenced when you try to remove that stuff, lol). Not sure if the same principle applies to poo and iron supplements though It may depend on the brand/type of supplements you're taking?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Im not sure its just ferrous sulphate, think thats pretty standard iron lol now Im imagining eye liner whilst thinking of my poo! this is not good for 9am!!! lolol

 

[lisaf]

lol, not much better at 1am

I'll probably go to bed soon.. I do need my sleep too and don't want him to suffer too long waiting for me to come back

 

[24/7]

I would say it's probably normal new, iron does very strange things to you!!

Morning Lisa, span and meow!! xx

 

[Wiggler]

Happy birthday Joshua!!!!!!!!!!!

New, Iron turned my BMs jet black.

Dylan is paying Bethany more attention today, he keeps running over and saying "baby" and grinning at her I'm super sore today, hoping I can get some more sleep later, I feel like shit.

Sending lots of labour dust to you all!

 

[new_to_ttc]

he best not be fast asleep! He best be pining for you! lol

i read the leaflet it doesnt mention anything about green poo, but does say ring the doctor if it is black! It also says do not take if you have absorbtion conditions such as haemochromotosis, which is exactly the condition I just said we have in the family, and Im a known dominant carrier of arghhhhh..... and as both my babies are boys they are likely to be suffers ffs! I did tell the midwife about this condition, but she just looked dumb at me! Now Im worried she didnt think it relvant to tell the consultant!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Awwww wiggler glad Dylan is taking more interest in Bethany How long is OH off for? try and sleep when she does, how often was she up in the night to feed?

 

[24/7]

Sorry you are feeling rubbish wiggler - Is it healing or tiredness or both?

Maybe ring the doctors then new, just to be safe. XX

 

[new_to_ttc]

Well I think its quite normal I read some bits on internet. I still dont feel right though, I just spoke to my sister Im so nervous about today! 14 hours to stay out of labour lol Something in my gut tells me its going to happen though, only because I dont want it to xx
