To ask you why you are awake?

I've been suffering from awful stomach pains for two hours, on and off the toilet, now going to run a hot bath (at 1:30am!) to try and soothe it. Keep me company and stop me from going insane - I'm in so much pain!

What are you doing? Are you okay? What's keeping you up? :-)

The puppy farted so badly that it woke me up and I thought she had done a poo somewhere, so put the light on to check and now I can’t get back to sleep!

Good job she’s cute.

Ok I'll bite, what's happen in tomorrow @PermanentTemporary ?

Feeding the baby. I'm willing he settles quickly as I'm shattered.

BluebellsareBlue · 09/01/2022 02:31

A few vodkas and some prosecco 😜 sorry you aren't feeling well OP! I hope the bath helps! Also I have an 8 week old puppy and a nearly 3 yo GSD who don't care what the time is so just play constantly! 17yo son is in bed not feeling great (not covid, I suspect hangover) DP is sleeping next to me on the couch, away to wake him up and separate dogs to go to bed

Perimenomadness! I'm worse than usual at the moment as I've got covid so sleeping longer and the pattern (if you can call it that) is getting worse. I might try and turn in soon and set an alarm for tomorrow...can always ignore it...

I would LOVE this to be the reason I'm awake Grin puppy trumps!

:) :) NORKS wins the nighttime internet :) :)

Glad it wasn’t an actual errm emission after all!

OddshoesOddsocks · 09/01/2022 02:38

Just got in from work, had a mini cup of tea and some naughty snacks that I shouldn’t have and now I’ve come to bed to try and get a nap in before the baby wakes up. We’re trying VERY hard to wean her off night feeds which is going surprisingly well but it’s still a disturbance I don’t need during my already limited sleeping hours!

It was busy at work (pub) and we had a do-over of NYE as the real one was a flop due to half the village being down with Covid and the DJ being shit. Lots of silliness, lots of dancing and even big Ben’s bongs at midnight, knackered now but buzzing which is never an easy mix when trying to sleep!

Mumsnet it is…

IamEarthymama · 09/01/2022 02:40

In excruciating pain as I have either a trapped nerve in my groin or a injured disc.
I have been in excruciating pain for 10dsys.
Drs have been great but I ended up at our new local
Hospital and then at OOH in another hospital begging for pain medication.
It worked last night but it isn't touching the pain this evening or night.

The only respite I get is lying down with my
Leg slightl dangling over the edge.

OP I am sorry you are suffering, I I used to have IBS but excluding gluten really helped.

Now I am really thirsty but I dare not negotiate the stairs.
I won't wake my wife as she is shattered. She has looked after me so well. She has held me when I was screaming in pain and she needs her sleep.

I hope everyone gets some rest.
I am going to try wearing my audio headband and will listen to one of M. Poirot adventures, I always nod off.

DSD19 has been out on a night out, DH fell asleep hours ago. I stayed up to make sure she got home save and she just poured in through the front door about 45 minutes ago. Put her to bed with a cup of tea. Now can’t get back to sleep. DD14 woke up from the commotion and is texting me going on about mundane stuff.

WalkingOnSonshine · 09/01/2022 02:50

I’ve got the shits and baby DS is crying. Trying to avoid going in to him as much as poss & leaving DH to it, in case I spread this bug, but sounds like he just wants me.

BlisterConcern · 09/01/2022 02:50

Well no I did go to sleep initially but set an alarm for 1am to make sure she got home.

Perimenopause Confused

NewPositiveYear · 09/01/2022 02:54

My body clock is on night shift zone despite me having the night off. Hmm

Hope the bath eased your pains @ouchgoestheweasel

ghostmouse · 09/01/2022 02:56

Grief. Feel like I’m going insane. Just need sleep
Hope your stomach settles soon op and I hope everyone else sleeps a bit tonight

Fridaysgirl17 · 09/01/2022 03:03

My 17 month old woke up at 1 25 and trying to get him to settle everytime I think he's down he pops up again, trying to ignore him now,they'll be up at 6 ISH so hopefully he's going to pop off now fingers crossed

Watching cricket live from Australia, hoping against hope for a magnificent draw.

I'm at the Natural history museum doing a Dinosnores sleep at the museum night for adults.
I drank too much free coffee and can't sleep.
Great night though!
