@sao81 -thanksss☺️

Insomnia indeed! I was lying wide awake from 1.30am wondering if I'll ever sleep normally again. I then dropped off about 5am( literally 40 minutes before the blooming alarm was due to go off!)

11 weeks till I finish work for maternity.... not that I'm counting! Xxxx

We have a 2 year old going through a bad patch with her sleep, so she woke me up at 1 and 5, but it took me 2 hours to fall back asleep the first time as I can't get comfy. May need to purchase a pregnancy pillow!

@Layladylay234 I'm also experiencing similar problems with appetite. I generally enjoy breakfast but after that I have litle appetite and no real desire for food, even nice food like cake! Cake I've had to start thinking of food as fuel for the baby just to make sure I'm getting enough.

Thought I was being organised and had ikea basket full online to order cot etc... Went to order to find that the cot has in the last week become discontinued. They don't seem to do another similar and it was such a good price.

Thanks for the new thread!

Had a GP appointment today after bloodwork and she's sending me to an endocrinologist as my thyroid levels are a bit off. The levels look OK according to my Dr Google research, but I'll see what they say. Anyone having thyroid issues?

She also wants me to have a tetanus booster, and I've got to decide whether to have just tetanus (free) or the combination with pertussis and diphtheria (dTaP, paid). Anyone having this vaccination? I've read it's quite routine in some countries, but not sure!

The glucose tolerance test is coming up too. So many appointments! I'm sure it's all for the good of baby and me, but I'd much rather have a lie down - or perhaps one of those amazing milkshakes, @Sunshine8888! Grin
