Oh gosh I looked into am I pregnant and thought wow nearly 7 months ago that was us!!

Luckily I have some say in it but hope ur friend will keep it how u want it hun maybe drop some hints ha xx

 

[mellie_88]

She's a stubborn one, once she's decided on something that's generally how it goes. Main annoying thing was she wanted my OH to go off to the pub with her OH. But as children aren't allowed then OHs sisters will need someone to look after their little ones during it so OH kind of needs to do that. When I mentioned it to her she pulled a face. Then suggested OHs mom looks after them, but as I want my mom there I kind of want OHs mom there too otherwise it would look terrible! Annoying!!

 

[Kaa286]

Oh I couldn't cope with being dictated to. My friends a bit like that but I cba with her trying call the shots so I stand my ground!

She should want to please u and make it something u want she sounds a bit much (again like my mate) x

 

[mellie_88]

Think she's just thinking with a none pregnant head. A few years ago I would have loved some crazy piss up but I don't really drink anymore I did enough drinking at uni to last me a lifetime. And obviously I'm not drinking now.

I'm just hoping she turns it round so its not too drink heavy. I've tried to drop little hints.

Only just caught up with this! Id love a baby shower but hubby is not for having any of it! Thought it would be nice with it being our last baby but nevermind

 

[Kaa286]

Oh well hopefully she will get the hints then hun!

Katie it's nothing to do with ur hubby so ignore him and have one anyway!!! X

 

[katiee24]

I'm not actually fussed for one now haha! Starting to just feel cba and achy all the time! Can just about find the effort with family never mind friends that don't bother half the time xx

 

[Kaa286]

Yeh true hun. I've found in pregnancy that there's times I just cba talking to ppl or making conversation which is so unlike me but I'd rather sit in silence haha xx

I'm a bit like that too, I don't mind going out say, for a walk on the beach but ask me if I want to go out socialising with a group of people and I'd much rather be on my couch with my dog!

I have no interest in a baby shower and don't think anyone is seriously planning me one. A couple of friends mentioned it but only in passing and I said not to bother so I don't think we're doing anything, which is fine by me.

My vertigo disappeared yesterday but came back a bit in the night, I have worked out that if I sleep on my right hand side, it starts up but if I sleep on my left it doesn't. Which is great - can't sleep on front for bump, back for vena cava/comfort and now the right side for vertigo. My left side is feeling rather squashed!

I walked to the chemist yesterday to get my vertigo tablets just in case, had to walk fast to get there before closing, and I've triggered the SPD off again! So now I'm back to doing my pregnant lady waddle.

The good thing is, at least I'm not working with these irritating afflictions, so it doesn't impact too much on me.

 

[mellie_88]

Today is my last day off work. Back to work tomorrow, 7 weeks which works out as 29 shifts left. Keep getting really tempted to leave earlier but kind of need the extra money so trying to stay strong!

I keep going to sleep on one of my sides then waking up on my back in absolute agony. Its ao annoying, but I don't really want to pack pillows all around me so I cant move. I definitely miss sleeping on my front. Even lying on my front, went to do it the other day accidentally amd had to settle with sitting instead

 

[nicejuicypear]

I miss sleeping on my front too! People don't understand how I can because I'm usually an H cup, but I love it. I have to have a pillow now, it goes between my knees then up towards my bump, it's the only way I can stop myself rolling onto my front. If the pillow falls off the bed, I wake up to find myself on my front and then I worry I've squashed the baby too much.

I read of someone who had such bad heartburn towards the end, she could only sleep sitting up. I couldn't cope with that, I can't even nap upright!

 

[mellie_88]

The midwife at my antenatal class tried to say we should be sleeping sitting up. No chance am I doing that! I'll be attempting to sleep on my side for as long as possible. Lying on my front is just uncomfortable now, I feel like a see saw or something with the big bump getting in the way! Haha

 

[nicejuicypear]

If I try to sleep sitting up, I'll be in no fit state to deal with sleepless nights before the baby comes! What was her reasoning? I thought side sleeping was perfectly fine?

 

[Toffeegirl]

I can't sleep on my side any more as it hurts I have to sleep sitting up.
Have about 3 pillows so I am in the air and other half just looks at me and says will we ever be able to have a cuddle again.
Bless him x

 

[mellie_88]

She was mainly saying not to sleep on your back which is obvious. Then she said whenever women say their back hurts she asks them how many pillows they sleep on and they always say one or two. If I slept on about 5 pillows I'd just wake up with terrible neck ache I think. Pretty sure sleeping on your side is fine, just might need pillows to support bump. At the moment I can still get away pillow less however I don't think that'll last long.
Ive got a pregnancy body pillow, however if I ever use it it always ends up on the floor because I move about so much!

 

[Kaa286]

I think one of the reasons I don't sleep well anymore is due to the position I have to sleep in. I'm a front sleeper too and miss it so much. They say left side is best side to sleep on as helps digestion and something to do with more oxygen getting to baby on that side?! However I'm a bit conifer on my right side. My mattress sheet always comes off in the corner as I spend the whole night turning from one side to the other because too long on one side means I can't feel my arm due to pins and needles and it just goes numb :-/

I need a pillow for under my bump for support I think, I sleep with a triangle pillow for my head and that's it at the mo.

Sleeping sitting up would be a nightmare for me had to try it a few times due to severe heartburn anyway and it always resulted in me wanting to just snuggle down in the bed!

 

[nicejuicypear]

Yeah, I think I'd just automatically move down the bed in my sleep anyway. I couldn't do it on the couch as they're too low backed to give headrest.

Don't know how anyone could use 5 pillows either! I start off with two but always end up pushing one back and using one later on in the night.

I'm starting to feel really uncomfortable with only sleeping on one side, had such a stiff shoulder this morning and my back aches. Will have to try sleeping on my right again soon and hope the vertigo has gone.

 

[Kaa286]

Oh no are u still suffering with it Hun?

Yeh I think I could do with a wedge pillow to put under bump, sleeping on my sides is getting on my nerves I just want to sleep straight through without waking up to turn over and needing a pee!
