U.S. Mommies To Be

[MissFox]

Hi momsosick!!! You're almost there! Congrats on full term!
I need to get in the nesting kick and I've been so closeto it but my head cold is really stopping me.

Hello to all the new comers

So does anyone sleep through the night any more. My bladder control is going out of the window. I have a cold and sometimes im scared to cough outside of the restroom. I totally wee'd myself in class thursday and just got up and left.(It was the first day if class and I dont know what to tell my professor tomorrow )
On a good note I got baby girl a bunch of stuff this weekend. Everyone is trying to give me hand me downs too so she has plenty of clothes. I think I have a baby shower date set (my b-day) I have been looking forward to turning 21 forever and I dont wanna sit around doing nothing on my big day No clubbing but lots of baby fun sounds better that getting wasted. Omg I sound like a mom.

How are you guys?

I used to never get up to pee at night. I now have to get up at least once to pee. I'm also sleeping a little lighter (not a bad thing at all because I usually sleep so deep its CRAZY).

As for the bladder control, you really have to do your kegels every day. I do find if my bladder is very very full, no amount of control will keep me from peeing if I sneeze.
I wouldn't worry about what to tell your professor. Most won't ask... if they do, just say you had a personal problem to take care of... most don't want the details, lol!

Thanks Lisa,
My professor gave me a weird look when I walked out of class and looked like she wanted to say something. Is there anything to do to stop the potty trips during the night. I do my kegals (most of the time).

 

[lisaf]

I haven't heard much helps at night.. something about the change in position when you're lying down? Just limit fluids before bed, and go before bed (maybe even go 2x right before bed if you can?)

If you want, you can apologize to the professor and say you had a personal issue to take care of that couldn't wait.... that way in case they thought you were rude for walking out they will realize it wasn't personal, lol!

I was much better at doing my kegels back when we had that daily reminder thread here on 2nd tri, but I think it died?

 

[JNA]

Well that would help a lot having the kegal reminder on here. I heard about a kegal app you can download to your cell but my blackberry is on the brink of death.

 

[lisaf]

lol, well we can restart the kegel thread... but the people who kept bumping it up all the time moved on to 3rd tri. They basically used it for normal mindless chatter, that way it was sure to get bumped a lot, lol!

I have a hard time sleeping at night. I used to wake 3-4 times to pee but luckily it's cut down to two. I drink less at night now too. I'm a light sleeper though so it takes me awhile to fall back asleep.

 

[heyyady]

I'm up what seems like every hour on the hour to pee- and my bladder control WAS fine, but then I got Bronchitis over the holidays and seem to have lost all control. I feel like a 90 year old woman, but I wear incontinence pads when I go out so that I'm not constantly worrying!

 

[Annunakian]

Even when I drink very little I get up to pee. Albeit it's a little pee but it still hurts like I have a full bladder!

I feel when I wee at night it hurts too. I wish people would tell the whole story of pregnancy not just the good stuff. Half the time im freaking out because I think something is wrong but apparently its all normal but a well kept secret of pregnancy.

Haha, no doubt! This pregnancy is soooooo different from my sons. I had a very good one. No aches and pains, mild MS... but this one.. oh man! Constantly having to pee, my pelvis hurts like a mother and my hips feel like they are going to fall off if I lay on one side too long.

 

[JNA]

Wow only 8 more weeks and you can sleep peacefully until the baby wakes!

 

[RosieCheeks]

I am in the same boat ladies. I am constantly waking up in the middle of the night to pee even if I don't drink a lot. I haven't really had any aches and pains besides the normal round ligament pain but I have notices that if I turn abruptly in bed in the middle of the night I get this sharp shooting pain in my lower stomach area. I hope that's normal.

I found that sharp shooting pain to be round ligament. A body pillow or pregnancy pillow has helped a LOT with that.

 

[Mustang_Love]

I'm waking up every hour but it's due to hip pain. It is SO difficult to get/stay comfortable. Because of all the pillows, there is barely any room for DH in our bed! Luckily I only have to pee once or twice a night.

 

[MissFox]

I'm usually around 2x a night and wake up more than that just trying to get comfy. It doesn't help that I'm such a snotface right now that I can barrely breath and have to constantly turn over... then bam! 5 mins later is when the pee hits. That'll teach me to shift baby onto my bladder!
Lisa- there is the kegel thread in the 3rd tri now.

Hi Ladies - It has been forever since I have been on B & B! I have a quick question for you all...I am agonizing over names! We think we have a girl name picked but don't have a boy name we love. I just posed the name Cian to OH. He liked it a lot until I told him how it was spelled. Is Cian too weird for the midwest? I really don't like changing the spelling of names, but Kian would be ok, I guess. Also, OH is of Scottish/Irish decent way way back, but nothing that would make us want to honor his ancestry. Is it strange to choose such an obviously gaelic name just because we like it?

 

[lisaf]

Is it pronounced key-an? Or see-an?
I think you would have issues with pronounciation, but as for it being too weird? I don't think there is such a thing anymore

KEY-an

That is funny about no such thing as being too weird! You live in Cali - weird is more NORMAL there than here you know? I used to live in CA - I miss it (especially right about this time of year)!
