****** May 2015 Mummies to be *******

[Mayflower85]

Sorry to rub it in girls but I actually had an amazing sleep last night and didn't even get up for a wee once! I still don't want to get out of bed now though lol

Henry had me up 3 times last night. Little sod he usually sleeps straight through. Add that to the two times I had to get up for a wee and I had a brill night overall

Ive woken up feeling full of cold, Blocked nose and tickly cough and my chest feels sore It took forever to fall asleep last night too as couldnt get comfy and when i did i would need the loo, then i got heartburn. I dont look forward to bed as much as i did in first tri, i already miss being able to sleep properly. Anyone got any idea what i can do for my cough? the blocked nose i can deal with but cough and sore chest worries me. Hope everyones well. On the up side my little man gets his cast off this afternoon!!! Im really excited for him, but also worried that hes going to break it again and we'll be back at square one. xxx

No idea for cough & sore chest. I can use throat sweets like halls soothers etc. can't have strepsils though. Blocked nose I used the saline nose spray for babies. Helped a lot. Just being able to breathe makes u feel a bit better.

Hope ur little man is ok caseysmummy xx

I struggle to get comfy too. Can't lay on my side as freckle kicks the mattress! Can't lay on my back as my belly feels too heavy & I struggle to breathe. Must get my maternity pillow out & see if that helps x

I slept a bit better as it wasn't anywhere near as windy! Still always wake about 4am and toss and turn for a while though, I just wish I could remove an arm at night as there's always one that seems in the way of being comfy haha!

OH back late tonight, think his flight gets in about midnight so distrusted sleep tonight but worth it. Just hoping the snow doesn't come to much (we are very high so tend to get it)

24 weeks today - baby has been kicking lots this morning too.

Congrats on v day Orion!

Larly- there must have been something in the air last night as Blake had us up 3 times before 2:30am. I actually shouted at him the last time, then felt bad when I smelt his nappy a sleep deprived pregnant woman is not to be messed with! He has a really nasty habit of losing his comforter during the night, but instead of just looking for it he shouts and screams until we find it. It's so frustrating!

I still have thrush this morning, but it's more of just an irritation now than the intense burning and itching it was a few days ago. I'm winning the battle SLOWLY!!

Hope you're ok this morning Flosi x

 

[caseysmummy11]

Thanks for the advice larly. I'll pick some throat sweets when I drop little man off at nursery. I've just had some paracetamol. Don't feel like getting out of bed just yet but I've got to get up to take little man to nursery. My mum's bringing my pregnancy pillow over today so gonna see how I sleep tonight. Hopefully much better. May trya steamy shower before bed see if that helps too xxx

Hot lemon and honey helps for colds and coughs especially as we cant really take much else while pregnant.

Re sleeping I dont look forward to bed as much as i did for the fact i never feel refreshed and just never feel comfy, i seem to sleep better when i fall asleep randomly in the day haha!!

Congrats on V day Orion!!

 

[bigbee]

Countdown begins, Orion!!!!!!!

 

[blueeyes34]

I'm jealous Mayflower ha ha

Hope you feel better soon Caseysmummy

Hope your other half doesn't get held up Elliot

Orion 24 weeks already, hasn't that flown!!

Glad its easing a little Durham.

Taken some holiday from work this afternoon, so only got to manage until 12:30 then half a day off. Just too tired (and have holiday to use, so thought I may as well

xx

[Mayflower85]

I've got some spotting again today, feel a bit crampy too. I can feel her and I've listened to her on the Doppler, doesn't stop me worrying though

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

Oh mayflower it seems to be a regular occurrence for u I've only spotted after dtd & it doesn't happen the second time I go to the loo afterwards.

Hope it stops soon

I'm off to bed with a wriggly freckle. Hope I can get comfy without my resident mattress kicker going full force! Night all xx

 

[TashaWink]

Ah look at everyone hitting v day!

I've had much better sleep. Apparently I only need 6 hours it's crazy how our bodies do this. Before babies I could literally sleep days (not even exaggerating) now broken sleep of 6 hours is fine

Definitely get a pillow people! I love mine. And it's been a lifesaver the last few nights.

Only 2 more sleeps until my scan and I get confirmation of the sex!

Flosi I hope you're feeling better.

Durham I really hope it all eases soon.

 

[blueeyes34]

Hope you're ok Mayflower.

All - Is is snowing where you are? It is lightly here.

Hopefully will get a better sleep tonight xx

 

[buttonbear]

No snow here but soooo much bad wind and rain!!

Mayflower i hope all is okay and the spottings stopped xx

I had my mw today computers were down so couldnt get onto system to check my GTT results but i had no sugar in my urine today and she said i would have had contact from hospital by now if i had it. Soooo all being well i might actually get my home birth!!!! Fxd

Second the pillow i got mine from argos and its a life saver when sleeping(when you do lol)

 

[Mayflower85]

Oh mayflower it seems to be a regular occurrence for u I've only spotted after dtd & it doesn't happen the second time I go to the loo afterwards.

Hope it stops soon

I couldn't understand if I'd done something to irritate it, but we've only dtd one since this one was conceived lol. Oh wanted to wait until after 12 week scan, then said he wanted to wait until after the 20 week scan but because I keep spotting he won't do it at all lol.

It seems to have gone again today, and I've got my consultant appontment next Friday anyway.

 

[caseysmummy11]

Morning ladies. Glad spotting has stopped mayflower. Fingers crossed you do get your home birth buttonbear! I used my pillow last night and fell asleep much easier and slept all night so think it's a winner in my book! Im feeling quite unwell today, im sure it's a cold but it's making me feel so poorly. My chest us really sore and really blocked up and have a ache neck . Haven't got to go anywhere or do anything today so I think I will spend the time resting and having cuddles with my little boy in bed and watch some films today and hopefully I will feel better a bit later on. Little man had his cast off yesterday and he's being really careful with it ( which im greatful) gotta keep an eye on him over next 3 weeks and try to avoid him falling over. .. He's really clumsy though so im literally going to be following him round. His poor skin underneath the cast is in a right state though so it's going to take a few baths and lots of moisturising I think to get it back to what it should be! Xxx
