Why are are you awake tonight?

[drivinmecrazy]

I'm still awake (and haven't even tried to go to sleep yet) cos I have a frozen shoulder.
I could have gone to bed three hours ago but if I had I would be up now until morning.
Much easier to wait an hour when I'm deathly tired and sleep for four/five hours than try now.
I used to love to
Sleep but it's become such a battle that I'd rather not even try.
Long gone are the days when I used to easily sleep for an eight or ten hour stretch, more if I was left to it!!
I yearn for sleep yet it's becoming such a chore.
Falling asleep is not an issue, staying asleep is

Wishing all of you with very young babies or those that are on their the very best of luck.
It's the best and the worst times that we experience, highs and lows that we would never have dreamed possible.

I still look back to when mine were tiny with such a whistful glance. Life was never better, even through it may not feel it now.
Also count yourselves lucky and be thankful you live in today's world.
Can you imagine the long nights with no Netflix or Amazon?
In my day (I'm too old to tell) we didn't have podcast or streaming, Twas hell I tell you

Shoulder problem for me too. Mine's broken after an accident a few weeks ago. It's still almost impossible to find a comfortable sleeping position, though it's gradually getting better.
Hope everyone who is suffering in any way feels better soon.

10 month old dd not setting.

I'm a night owl. To be honest I think Ive got in the habit of not going to bed as my husband is it.
I've been thinking of writing a post tonight seeking advice on leaving my husband. Three young kids and not financially independent so it's not an easy thing to do.

Correction - is in it.

Post A&E nightshift that finished at midnight - just having a mumsnet scroll before hopefully dozing off

I work nights and I'm back to work tonight (Saturday). So If I go to bed late I can sleep most of the day before work.

Hot flushes. Horrible they are.

@Sackofnickles

I'm getting induced in the morning. Very nervous.

@Sackofnickles

awww, it's a bit scary, isn't it?
the waiting is rubbish.

I hope you fall asleep soon, you'll need your strength!
best of luck!

Wow good luck @Jellybean81! I hope it’s going well

I’ve got sciatica in my leg and it’s been awful in the last two days. The only position it doesn’t hurt as much is flat on my front but that’s not natural for me so I’m feeling squashed.

Sorry to hear the various reasons - I’m usually a solid 7 hours+ person sleep wise so usually lucky

Yaya26 I'm so sorry you're feeling like this.
Do you think it's all over and you're trapped or are you hoping things will change?
How long have you been in a relationship?

My 4 year old dropped a watermelon on her foot before bedtime the night before last and came home from nursery yesterday limping. Her toenail is green and toe is red and a little swollen, but it doesn’t seem to bother her. I called 111 at 18.30 and they’ve just rung me back so now I’m awake! It’s also my 40th today and I’m hoping to be able to enjoy my party instead of spending ages waiting at out of hours 😬

My child has stomach ache and won't settle

Nightshift..roll on 08.00 I'll be tucking into a McDonalds egg mcmuffin and jumping into bed

Thanks @drivinmecrazy Married 13 years and 5 before that. it's been over a long time. I don't expect things to change. He's not the worst but I don't love or respect him and he doesn't love or respect me. Things aren't going to change. We go from one argument to the next. Children love him though. Just back from a holiday I arranged and paid for. I'm so annoyed today as no one enjoyed it. Kids are small and would rather somewhere less travel and he nor I enjoyed it. Things settle for a short time and then blow up again.

Just been examined - looks like no progress if anything gone backwards. Now not even 4 cm. waters have been broken so they're committed to getting her out. Midwife talking to drs but likely to be a c section. Very scared just want baby out safely now

Oh Jellybean. You'll soon have your baby in your arms. I hope all goes smoothly for you. Xx

I’m always awake at this time , I only need 4/5 hours sleep and if I try to sleep before 2/2:30 at the earliest I can’t get off and end up staying awake until about 5 . I worked nights for 20+ years and my body clock is shot to pieces even though I gave up work 5/6 years ago .

Good luck Jellybean, I had a c section with my 2nd as she got stuck 1/2 way. Now she is a healthy 21 yr old, still a pain in the arse lol

Because since I've got 60, my bloody hips hurt as soon as I get horizontal, and I can't sleep. That, and DH is snoring away next to me.

I've taken two Nytol and two ibuprofen, yet here I am on MN at 2.16 in the morning.

Best wishes @Jellybean81, I had a section with my second and it was fine , I recovered much more quickly than I did from my first vaginal delivery .

Happy birthday @Blueroses99!

I have worries that my mind won’t let me switch off from.

Oh Yayya26 that sounds miserable.
I'm not one to give sage advice, I wish I were.
But I will say that you are stronger than you think and more resourceful than you believe.
Look ahead to your future and what do you see? Is it just more of the same?
These are the questions you have to ask yourself and only you can answer.
Are you still in the relationship because you feel financially dependent or because there is still some love/ respect left?

Pregnant and stomach is pretty sore with stretching its driving me daft I just want to get comfortable 😩
