My ds has always been a terrible sleeper. Could never break the 30 minutes nap cycle, from newborn, and has never slept through the night. I just don't know how much more I can take
We've had all sorts of people involved...hv suggested palming him off for a couple of nights, paediatrician suggested he will grow out of it in 6 months (that was 3 years ago), sleep practitioner couldn't offer suggestions we hadn't already tried and so it continues.
This time last year I flunked an exam directly as a result of being so sleep deprived that I could barely remember my own name.
Today I have been in a fog all day. After being woken up 6 times I had enough and shouted at ds that enough was enough. He doesn't want or need anything, just shouts 'mummy'. When I asked what he wants he says he doesn't know. He got up for the day at 5am and I got up with a terrible migraine. This is becoming more common, I feel shot to pieces on a daily basis. My eyes hurt, my head pounds, I feel sick and my body aches. Added to this I work 12.5 hour shifts as an a&e nurse, it's not a good mix.
I don't know what, or if, I want out of this thread. Probably just want to moan because I feel so alone in all of this. OH has a medical condition which means he takes meds that knock him out, he doesn't even stirred when ds wakes up. I'm horrible to be around atm, grumpy and disinterested, yet I can't seem to get out of it. I feel so down.
That's my pity party over, as you were.
