Why are you up?

I’ve stayed up with hubby as he watches the basketball which is on at stupid times being in USA. I’m 37.5 weeks pregnant so trying to snap up all spare time with him possible!
But I’ve noticed mumsnet is active even now... what are you up to? Why are you awake? Xxx

Because its 10:45pm and I am snoozing on and off on the sofa because I can’t be bothered to get ready for bed

Rockbird · 26/09/2020 03:45

Back pain mainly. And I need a wee but can't be bothered to get up!

Because DD, who is usually a good sleeper, has just woken me up. I heard her whinging and went to investigate and her nappy had leaked everywhere. Very odd as never had these problems before. So full nappy and outfit change.

Luckily she's gone straight back off but I can't sleep now 🙄

Insomnia. Flares up when stressed or period due.

Frownette · 26/09/2020 03:52

I'm tired but can't sleep properly which is frustrating.

@Lolarosemama that's really cute you're getting all the time you can with him Smile

OmgImBlondie · 26/09/2020 03:52

Snap! Insomnia, also not a morning person

SingingWaffleDoggy · 26/09/2020 03:56

Got up for a wee and have had a bleed (early pregnancy) so lying here worrying, although I know that nothing will change the outcome for better or worse and it’s just a case of wait and see.
Also, I’m hungry but can’t be bothered to get out of my warm bed to get anything.

BumbleBeeeeeee · 26/09/2020 03:59

@SingingWaffleDoggy big hugs, can you ring EPU?
I'm up feeding the baby who won't be put down!

plipplopwillywillyplopplop · 26/09/2020 04:02

Work stress is keeping me up. Seems a common thing these days

YorkshirePud1 · 26/09/2020 04:03

4 month sleep regression 😴

@SingingWaffleDoggy fingers crossed for you, I hope all is OK.

hotcrosswhat · 26/09/2020 04:06

"morning" sickness..! It's been relentless the past few weeks.

How scary @SingingWaffleDoggy, I'd agree with PP about phoning EPU (or 111?)

Thinking of you @SingingWaffleDoggy hope you manage to get some sleep and that it’s nothing serious!!! You should ring your MAU - hugs xxx

Hehe thank you!! We’re a mushy pair it’s a bit ridiculous - I’m aware that will go out of the window once baby’s here 😂

Thanks for indulging me everyone 😄 and sorry you’re all awake for such sucky reasons! To be fair normally now I’m waking up because I need a wee and baby’s kicking me in the ribs - feels weird not to have been asleep yet 😂

I have had 2 previous miscarriages at the same stage with a healthy pregnancy in between so am kind of prepared for the worst.
My EPU are only open Monday to Friday in the mornings, (Gynae ward or A&E for emergency treatment) and have at least 24 hour wait for scans so best case scenario would be I get seen Tuesday. I have a private “reassurance” scan booked this weekend anyway so will wait and see what they can see.
I loved the night feeds with my LO, snuggles while the rest of the world is snoozing. And good effort OP, you’re a better wife than I ever have been!

cambrianexplosion · 26/09/2020 04:10

Thinking of you too SingingWaffleDoggy. Hope things are ok.

Insomnia. Also my cat usually wakes me up in the night by putting his paw gently on my head.

Frownette · 26/09/2020 04:11

@SingingWaffleDoggy wishing the best for you

BetterEatCheese · 26/09/2020 04:14

I'm up rocking my son after a feed- he's 11 months and really has changed sleeping pattern so I'm up more again. Really want a good sleep but fear it's a way off still.

BetterEatCheese · 26/09/2020 04:20

Tore myself away but now can't stop thinking about it

TwangBadge · 26/09/2020 04:21

Mild toothache, can't find a hole but it's definitely in one tooth. No dentists around here are taking NHS patients and I just don't have money for private right now. Sooo yeah. Dunno what to do really, sitting here worrying because I hate dentists but I also hate the thought of an infection setting in.. but that seems to be the only way to get seen now.

Nicknacky · 26/09/2020 04:23

I’m just in from work. Slightly later finishing than I should have been.
