Soph I keep having lots of nights like that. So exhausted I fall asleep on the sofa early evening, get to bed, wake for a pee, go back to sleep and wake an hour later for nothing, finially get back to sleep when I just need a pee again arghhhhh One night I saw every hour turn on the clock literally, I think I slept for some minutes inbetween but on the whole I just kept waking for nothing! I cant say I have any ideas for you though hun, I have goods nights where I sleep through, and bad ones still where Im up all the time. I just make the most of the good ones and the extra energy the following day

Inge so sorry work has been like that! Last thing you need on your mind right now! Although I kinda understand your position. Im due to go on maternity leave just as the government up the prices and change the criteria of elderly and disabled receiving home care. My boss (talkng to me as a friend not my boss) said everyone is worried, no one knows if our department will survive the changes, so I dont know what will happen to me at all or if I'll have a job to go back to!

Hey all had mw this morning all is well, hb of 132 bpm & she could feel lo moving around it's tucked up on the right side!
Took Jacson with me & he was soo good
Might have to see a consultant due to gbs but just have to wait & see if i get a letter?
Go back in 4 weeks then only it will only be 5 little days till my gender scan i'm so excited, but it still seems so far away still at leats it's only next month now as is Christmas
So what are we all hoping for?
Secretly i'd love another girl but i already have one of each so can't be greedy

 

[Inge]

Ive felt all the way through this one's a girl. The nub on my 12wk scan is very girly too so I cant wait to find out for sure though

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I wanted another girl more than another little boy (I already have one of each) but honestly, as the pregnancy progresses, I wouldn't mind either one...or a surprise of both

 

[new_to_ttc]

I was quite balanced boy or girl. I do have a boy, but Ive loved having him and would it again in a heart beat, but a small part of me wanted that girly stuff, dresses and pig tails etc etc lol Then since about 13/14 weeks Ive really wanted a girl, and the more I really want a girl the more I think it'll be a boy. Joshua is also showing a bigger interest in wanting a girl. I guess I will find out in 4 and a bit weeks lol Got slightly excited to see baby had 160bpm then 158bpm on the doppler... good signs for a girly hehe but arghhh ot to wait and see lol

 

[mummy3]

I'm sorry a lot of you are having work worries Not sure what to suggest, but I really hope it works out!

I have to take up more at home work for hubby, he has a lot of contract freelance work and not a huge amount of time with his fulltime job as well So I have to do some of it, not worked since uni either so its weird!

I really wanted another boy at first, and was convinced lol but baby is a girl and we are really happy. I just wanted boy to even it out so not even a good reason. Our heartrate has been 155 each time too.

Off xmas shopping again this pm and want to get LO more nappies and a carseat. Never can get too many nappies ready for a newborn!

Oh and yep im a huge insomniac! Up at 5 30am every morning then up every hour at night even if I take a sleep aid

Last night sucked. Around 10:30pm I started getting horrible cramps in my uterus. I didn't think I was over doing it at work but I guess I was running around more than I though I was. I was so freaked out on the car ride home that the pain was going to make my SCH do something crazy and start to bleed. I went home and ran to the doppler and luckily baby seemed happy enough, moving around with a heart rate of 158-160. My husband let me sleep in so that I can try and relax and I just have to get through today at work then I will be taking it as easy as possible. UHH, I cant wait to make it to 24 weeks.

Hope you ladies are having a good morning (afternoon/night), I just finished my hot chocolate and I'm laying on the couch until work.

I think we should contact their OHs and tell them they have been secretly seeing some Dyson character...

 

[lisaf]

heehee! I don't mind when it quiets down since its easier to stay on top of it

 

[cheree89]

Sorry to all of you not feeling well. I have had some troubles sleeping lately too - not fun!

I found out my insurance will cover the level 2 scan for genetic testing, so I am going on Monday morning. I am glad, b/c I spent about a half hour looking for the heartbeat last night and no luck. I've been able to find it fairly easily on other days.

Yay for Fridays - almost time to leave work!

 

[hopefulmama]

i took a nap from 11 45- 1 15, now its 420 and i am ready to go back to sleep for awhile. last week i had so much energy and now its gone again. effing pregnancy.

 

[cheree89]

hopeful - I am really tired today too. I know my iron levels are low which isn't helping.

I just realized that in less than 10 days all of the may due dates will be out of the first trimester (and there will probably be an August due dates thread) - that just seems crazy to me! I need to keep reminding myself not to panic. I hope I get everything done...

 

[lisaf]

omg that totally made me panic a little cheree

And hopeful - I am just so sick with jealousy, lol!!! I'm so tired but stuck at work for now.

 

[cheree89]

Lisa - Tell me about it! My mom so kindly informed me last week that all of her children were significantly early! The closest she got to her due date was 2 weeks early - the other two of us were 3 weeks and 31 days early. Aaaccckkk!

 

[lisaf]

well my mom was 10 days late with me and my brother and was induced at 8 days late with my sister...
So I'm not so worried about early labor

 

[Wiggler]

OMG I am so dissapointed with myself. I made my fav ever dinner, stew and dumplings and I couldn't finish it! 1 whole mega dumpling went to waste (OH makes the dumplings the size of my fist, I managed to eat 2 though!)

No hot date with the Dyson today, a friend called in earlier which was a nice surprise. He and his wife are taking Dylan out for the afternoon tomorrow. Dylan loves them to bits so he will have a fab time, and it means that I can lay down and relax

My mum had all 4 of her children early, between 2-4 weeks early I think. She also had fast labours with 3 of us, my brother was born in 11 minutes! She didn't even have time to call an ambulance and ended up having him at the top of the stairs!

I was hoping that now I'm in second tri I would get some energy back, but I am just getting more and more tired!

 

[lisaf]

Hey Wiggler - if this one is a boy, will you name him Dyson?
Or would that just be confusing around your house?
