Lol PB you're 4 years too late with that advice. Damn it haha xx

 

[Shanivy]

Oooh I'm a bad mum 22 weeks today! Happy 22 weeks GG too lol xx

 

[KHTW]

Happy 22 weeks Shan and GG!

 

[KHTW]

Just got super annoyed by some lady posting on my baby and toddler topic. Why people post when they have no advise to give to what you are asking?! Of course I love to cuddle my daughter to sleep but is it bad that I also want her to be able to sleep alone in her bed? Ehhhh sorry... needed to rant! x

 

[Shepherdess]

just went and read that KHTW. there was no need for her comments and eye roll. parents have it hard enough without sarcasm. I read your post ages ago and wished I could help but I had no helpful advice. after months and months of very little sleep I had to do CC with my DD. thankfullyshe took to tthat really well and it only took a couple of nights of 10mins crying to work but I still felt like I was an awful mummy for it.

did you try the gradual retreat thing?

I'm super lucky and most days if DD does want a nap I can drop everything and cuddle her for 30/60mins (through choice not necessity) but youre right in your post, at this age they are not babies and when your bringimg another baby home soon you need to be prepared

 

[Shanivy]

Saw it too hun. Unnecessary and completely pointless with the sarcasm. I replied anyway not sure how helpful I am though. I did exactly like you and there's nothing wrong with you wanting her in her own bed if she needs to. Not like you're trying to force a month old baby to sleep on her own ffs. How is she getting on? Ohh and how's the no dummies going? Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Some people like to put other peiple down to make themselves feel better, her ticker says shes pregnant ... She will learn its not easy lol.

Scan was difficult again, I knew it would be cos he sleeps in the morning and normally awake about 4 - 7ish in the afternoon (weird how I feel like I know the sleeping pattern of the baby inside me haha)
So yeah he was very still and wouldn't really move. Had to go out walk around, eat, drink have a wee etc. He still didn't really move but they eventually got everything they needed. He's absolutely fine and no anomaly found so I'm happy with that.

Popped in to see my sister and she's given me some clothes and the baby bouncer.

Finally home and gonna nap as I feel emotionally exhausted today!

 

[PeanutButter]

Babies movements have slowed down completly last 3/4 days think im gonna have another lazy one like dd, in hosp all the time with reduced movement ffs. 9 times with dd..9!!! Ergh. Hopefully be lazy and sleep well like her though heh

 

[Shanivy]

PB oh my goodness 9?! I'd have been emotionally exhausted. Good for you going every single time though. You just never know. This little girl is much more active than DD she's kicking up a storm right now lol xx

Jem that's great to hear baby has no issues! Go get some rest and be lazy after a stressful day lol. Happy days on the baby stuff xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Yeah, the 9th time i went in they were just like were gonna induce you tonight bevauae i had GD aswell think they were concerned iy was related nope shes just lazy. Though the 9th was actualy becase i was in labour i didnt kno tho, ikno not eveeyonea babys atop moving in labour but she didnt move at all. But she pooped inside which means ahe was distressed. Probably why i pushed her out so quick aha.

 

[KHTW]

Thank you ladies, she really had no business writing that.
I love co-sleeping with DD and if it wasn't for this baby coming I would probably continue for a bit longer. Again saying that she is getting bigger and should really be able to sleep alone.
Gradual retreat didn't work. As soon as i sit up on the bed she goes crazy :/

Dummy is now gone. It took 1 day! As soon as she was able to understand the concept of dummy fairy it went and never came back. We are now reading a few books about sleeping alone in hope that the same approach will work this time! X

Jem so glad scan went well and there is no problems x

PB i hope this baby is not going to do this to you!!! 9 times... I can't imagine the stress x

 

[Shanivy]

KHTW Ah fab news, shes a clever little thing. Hopefully the book works, a book worked for us with the toilet training and we had no issues there. Maybe try getting her something special for her room like the special new duvet cover etc that mummies aren't allowed to have, like I said on your post, as an incentive. Fx for you, its hard but youll have it down in no time. Ivy still comes in my bed when shes sick, or at the weekends sometimes. My problems were absolutely my own fault with her sleeping. But I still love having her in my bed lol xx

PB oh my I'd have been like yes please do lol. Im really hoping for your straightforward labour this time! xx

Not seen the thread in question but kind of want to look now, lol. Could you have a bed fairy as well as the dummy fairy....put a different spin on it. Or...the tooth fairy, you could say children have to be in their own beds before the tooth fairy comes so she should start practicing now. Lol. No idea if it would work though.

Happy 22 weeks Shan. First Wednesday that I've not looked at a dozen sites about baby at this new age, lol.

Anyone else have days of feeling decidedly not pregnant? I woke up this morning, put my hand on my bump as I always do now but nothing there. Literally, no bump. Felt all squishy as well and couldn't feel any sign of my uterus. Dan wasn't home as he's working away and left early morning so was alone. Sorry for the tmi, but knowing how my uterus reacts to an orgasm...I opted for the diy version and felt a bit better when I could feel it again afterwards.

Not felt pregnant all day though. Been full of energy, cracking on with all the hay and waters with no issues, even my hip/pelvis behaved. Was so relieved to have 30 minutes on the sofa at 5pm when I eventually felt some movement and a few kicks, lol. I say relieved but I wasn't actually worried...just found it odd.

Lol GG if in doubt play with yourself. Just wait until your uterus is way higher and you try it I get that not pregnant feeling when I'm really busy too though and Im distracted or keep her rocking to sleep lol xx xx

Nothing wrong with a bit of diy, lol. I did still get out of breath trying and struggling to put my socks and boots on, lol.

 

[Shanivy]

GG lol nope but Im over diy, I would like my sex life back tbh! I am actually scheduling it in this weekend haha I'm determined, I dont care who's sick/throwing up/dying its happening xx

Just thought I'd mention for anyone wanting pampers nappies, Tesco has the 96 pack 2 for £18, think that's the best deal on right now. Boots does them on sale plus 3 for 2, but no idea when their event is
