Basically that. I'm awake with no sign of sleep, this is already late for me as I'm usually asleep by 10.30 ISH but I'm just so sick with two different things and also anxious as fuck so I'm just listening to a podcast with headphones on while my son sleeps beside me and just trying to survive the night.

Have not had enough slip for days now. Only managing to fall asleep after midnight and waking up before 7. Was so tired yesterday that had some wine with dinner hoping it would help me fall asleep earlier. It did but then I woke up at 11pm and have been awake since. Lots on my mind too

Sorry to hear that, I hope you managed to get back to sleep later

In hospital with my 3 month old who it turns out has croup. Totally terrifying drive down country lanes listening to her deteriorating breathing, as I knew I would get us to hospital much faster than an ambulance could find our house. By the time we arrived she was mottled, her stomach was drawing in under her ribs and she was getting tired. The waiting room was full when we arrived but the receptionist heard her and before even speaking to us, within less than one minute there were 5 amazing, calm and competent people looking after her. She is getting better now and is asleep on me.

The nice HCA has given me a ham sandwich, orange juice and some quavers as I’m breastfeeding!

That is terrifying, what a horrible ordeal for you both. How is your baby this morning? I bet you got very little if any sleep.

Over the last couple of days I’ve had random patches of hives popping up. I’ve woke up tonight with a full body rash, hives and a swollen lip 😩

Stress being the trigger I think 😔

Now wide awake and have to leave the house at 7.15am for nursery drop off and work 😔

Surely you can't go to work all blown up like that? 😞

I managed to fall asleep around 1 with sleep stories on my headphones. I woke at 2.30 got a drink and managed to doze bk off, woke at 5.45 with stomach cramps and that's me up since so think I managed about 4.5hrs.

Woke up at 330am because of pregnancy insomnia and a blocked nose. Tried to get back to sleep an hour ago but my son decided to use that particular time to scream as loudly as he could. Fucked off as I always manage to keep him quiet when my partner is asleep upstairs!
