October/November Conkers 2021***

@daniyaaq Unisom is safe in pregnancy - helps with nausea too. I used to take xanax for sleep, then once I got pregnant with my 1st the OB switched me to that. Its over the counter. I find the doxylamine succinate version works better for me, and I only have to take 1/2 tablet a night. Its great too it doesnt leave me groggy the next morning. (Ive been on it for 7 years and for the first time ever a couple days ago accidentally took it in the morning instead of my lupus med lol woops - i was a little sleepy but could still fully function all day)

Oh my thank you. I’ll definitely look into it. This whole entire week has been like this, I literally can’t get to sleep, even when I do it’s such a light sleep.
 
I’ll talk to my doctor and see what else she can recommend. Yeah I just looked it up and honestly the medication I’m now has no effect on me in terms of sleepiness.

@Reiko_ctu i really admire you being able to wean but I honestly think I’he decided to keep taking mine. I feel like I’m going backwards when I weak, even just cutting a dose, I’m back to being constantly nauseated and vomiting so I’m just going to ride it. My doctor said I should be fine to take them as long as I need.
 
Hey all so sorry the nausea and vomiting won't let up. I was put on phenegran (sorry about spelling) in my previous pregnancy. It's an antihistamine but on the back says for insomnia and I take it if I'm struggling to sleep. Not sure if u can just buy it etc? Xx

Ugh bnb just ate my post. Annoying. Anyways, you’re definitely still dealing with a lot more NVP than I am even just being a few days difference in our due dates. I haven’t vomited since my food poisoning. I would not even attempt to wean if I was in your shape right now! It’s scary enough being manageable!!

My diclectin (doxy succinate/ pyroxidine) definitely makes me sleepier 24/7 but doesn’t do anything for insomnia. It’s more of a general malaise and you can lay down and still aren’t able to fall asleep :/. I started drinking coffee again even though I’m having an aversion to help with energy in the day.

I know it’s rough going. One day soon you’ll be able to leave it behind and enjoy baby #3… just try and keep positive for a few more months xx. I have a bit of light at the end of my tunnel here and it’s helped my outlook immensely.
 
@daniyaaq
The insomnia is real here too. I've been suffering with it for weeks and weeks. Urghhhh. Feeling ya hon feeling ya.

@Catmumof4

The little sod hehehe.

@Mummy2Corban

So only did the food shop. DH Still doesn't want to start getting baby stuff yet.
He said we can when I'm 28 weeks which will be when we next do a big shop.
I've noticed there is so much summer stuff but with baby being due September and that's when it starts getting cold. It can go from Warm to full on autumn cold and rain here cant it hon in barmy England lol..
Last September was a cold one.
So I'm OK waiting another few weeks then we can buy.
I'm lucky because we do have stuff already from ds. I really must sort through it.


Let me get a pic of the few items I have brought. The jump suit won't be here for about a week but I will get a screen shot of it all and post it on here.
I did buy 2 non maternity crop tops to go with the maternity skirt.
Can add them to if u like.


So anyway just looked at my notes and it says he is on the 38th percentile.
He will prob be on the 98th by 32 weeks lol.
 
It’s officially morning and I was up all night. Getting girls ready for school. 5 hours till scan
 
Can't find the crop tops but when I'm wearing them I will get a pic. One is yellow and the other is a white one with black poka dots and a frill along the bottom.

Here's what I have

This white top is the one I got in the next size up all others are my normal size. Fit nice with more room for bump to grow.

This is the skirt I will wear with the crop tops. U can have it higher up the bump too.

Good luck at the scan hon. It's 22:25pm here so bed time soon. Probably not gonna sleep. I don't look forward to bed anymore. :(
 
@Suggerhoney totally feeling you on babies clothes! Autumn/winter stuff starts appearing soon anyway so I think it’s best to hold off until then. What lovely clothes! Please post some pictures when you got them on too! Would love to see!

@daniyaaq yay to scan day! Sorry you e not been getting sleep. Not sleeping is creeping in for me too…. I’m such a grump when I’m tired. Goodluck with your scan!!!! Wonder if you’ll start tipping the pink scales!??? Excited for you
 
@daniyaaq will you update after your scan? I’ll just be finishing up work here and will be hopping on to check! So excited!!
 
Yes will definitely update after scan. I’ll be busting to tell someone. Only I will know and then reveal to DP on his birthday. From there we’re not telling anyone else.
 
@Suggerhoney love the jumpsuit wow. I’m the same I dread evenings and night time these days so I know what you mean


I should get the jumpsuit in a week so will let u know what it's like. The reviews were all very good so hopefully it will be just as nice as the other items.
The first dress I posted I've already worn and that fits so nice and my bump looked so lovely in it.
I already have some maternity stuff that I had from DS so I think by the time the jumpsuit arrives that will be plenty to keep me going for the next 3 months.
Our weather is crazy here in summer.
It can get very hot but then it can get quite chilly. So the jump suit I will wear on them days but will probably have to wear a little denim jacket or Cardigan with it.

Urghhh it's rubbish isn't it hon. Bedtime should be a time too look forward too not to dread.
But I just hate the trying and trying and tossing and turning.

Yeah they normally start getting the autumn/winter stuff out end of July early August so not long.
I will hold off but I have seen a lovely little baby grow (onesie) in Tescos and a blanket with a rainbow on which I I'm gonna get. Probably will get it next month.
So exciting.
I'm a right grumpy sod when I haven't had sleep too.
It's not like I'm even uncomfortable I just find it so hard to drop off. And on nights I do sleep I keep waking up all the time.
3rd tri is always bad. I was getting up about 8 times a night to pee with DS.
By the time I hit 35 weeks I was so done with being pregnant and just wanted him here.
I was so so uncomfortable.
Not really looking forward to that bit. Just greatful I don't have too go right to the end.
37 to 38 weeks I can just about manage.
I've done 40 and 42 weeks b4 and that's not fun at all.



Oh gosh @daniyaaq
It totally didn't hit me that ure gonna know gender. Oh my goodness so exciting. I wonder if u will be :pink: or :blue:.
Can't wait for u to find out now hehe.
 
I thought time was going to be slow but nope it’s flown by 2 hours to go and I’m still laying in bed trying to feel better from morning sickness. Hopefully I’m able to get off my butt and shower soon.
 
Hope ure scan went well hon.

Guess what it's 2:15am and I'm awake. Stupid insomnia.
](*,)
 
Ahh so excited! I know how hard it is to get to your scan when you feel like crap. Last time I definitely did not make a shower happen lol.

I have 1 more massage then I'm checking in on you again XD

good luck! If it’s a boy I’ll be surprised, totally leaning pink for you!!
