Have gone to sobbing sofa with blanket, crying with sheer frustration with not being able to sleep (been awake since 2:30) Sad DH doesn't even care, he suggested I go so I guess he doesn't have to put up with me fidgeting Angry.

Welcome flumpy Is it? sorry if I got it wrong, you'll not be alone on hear

Flumpy2012 · 25/09/2012 04:38

Hello emilyeggs,

Poor you!! Not being able to sleep is the worst :-(

Even the dog is unsettled here tonight, perhaps there's something in the air!

Bad DH for not caring, is this your first baby? x

emilyeggs · 25/09/2012 04:42

Yeah Grin due 28 dec! I'm team yellow as we wanted a surprise, I'm getting done strong kicks on the sofa hear (keeping me company).....and you? Sorry Aldo to hear about ex....hope you've been ok

SpottyTeacakes · 25/09/2012 04:44

I'm trying not to think about the birth yet Grin

Missed off your bit about pre term labour hope everything is ok for now?

emily I've been awake since 2 aswell and I know dd will be up in just over an hour Sad

emilyeggs · 25/09/2012 04:45

Sorry about all the mistakes, predictive text strikes again Blush some strong kicks and.....

emilyeggs · 25/09/2012 04:46

also to hear about your ex.....had to look back on my post

SpottyTeacakes · 25/09/2012 04:46

Also I'm really hungry

emilyeggs · 25/09/2012 04:49

Poor you spotty at least I don't have to be up too early. I have the accountant round at 9 for a few hours but that's it for me! This is why I'm thinking of only having one, it will still have siblings with step dd & ds

SpottyTeacakes · 25/09/2012 04:52

I have an electrician coming at half eight Hmm should get an afternoon nap in though Grin

SpottyTeacakes · 25/09/2012 04:54

Also dd wouldn't be up so early if dp's alarm didn't wake her up Angry

Flumpy2012 · 25/09/2012 04:54

Fingers crossed all has settled down but docs have said I could have labour at anytime and I'm high risk pregnancy anyway so just keeping fingers and legs crossed!

I've been up and down over ex - its a v long story. I'm gritting my teeth and being friendly to enable him to be part of all this but not finding it at all easy at times. Some days like Saturday we were together all day and it was lovely but others I just want to scream at him. Hormones?

I don't envy you having to get up either! I'm on 4 weeks bed rest - easier said than done living alone with minimal support.

Lovely that you're having a surprise! How about you spotty? X

emilyeggs · 25/09/2012 04:55

Mumsnet for iPhone should have a refresh button for this thread, it's annoying to have to flip it then flip it back! Unless I'm being a complete twonk and have missed something

emilyeggs · 25/09/2012 05:02

That sounds very hard flumpy I don't think I could do that and let him be involved if I had any kind of feelings for him, I'm too emotional at the best of times.

emilyeggs · 25/09/2012 05:04

Not that I'm saying you still have feelings, just saying what a mess I would be as its hard enough....... I'll shut up now Blush

SpottyTeacakes · 25/09/2012 05:20

I'm having a boy, already have a two year old daughter Smile

I will be keeping my legs fingers crossed for you too Grin

JoJoB77 · 25/09/2012 06:44

Morning all

Welcome coffee mamapo and flumpy Smile

Sorry to hear about your car accident spotty hope you're feeling less achy now.

All good here, 28 weeks now and have mw tomoro. I seem to have feet permanently wedged under my right rib too, i remember someone Blush saying the same down thread. Must be a comfy place for the little one but very uncomfortable for me!

We have a lot of stuff left from DD so we're half way there already i guess. I'm so excited to see what we have tho, i'm started to feel like we might be having a boy now.

Hope everyone has a good day.

MaMaPo · 25/09/2012 06:56

Morning all,

Yes Jojo, that was me with the right rib sticker! It's so weird, I get cramps on the left and just a feeling of jabbing on the right.

Welcome Flumpy, and best of luck - you have been thrown some challenges. You sound like you're managing them all really well though.

Sorry to hear about everyone's insomnia - don't forget that getting up and going into another room is absolutely the right thing to do from a sleep hygiene point of view. Just a coincidence that it's just what bed partners would want as well!

Evening 'off' today - was supposed to go and see work friend awaiting her own 1st baby but heard yesterday hat she had it - after a 6 hour labour! Who do I pay for that sort of experience?!

SpottyTeacakes · 25/09/2012 07:03

I managed a half hour doze in the end. I'm not quite fat along enough for the wedged under the rib feeling but he has started kicking them. Better than the bladder!

EggsMichelle · 25/09/2012 07:21

Welcome Flumpy, this is definitely the place to come if you feel lonely or need support. Emily that app was driving me crazy, especially if I didn't have wifi/3G, it would flip to the middle of the thread!

6hrs sleep is just not enough for me, I'm not impressed, although from the sounds of things, I got good sleep compared to the rest of you ladies Confused

utopian99 · 25/09/2012 08:24

spotty i feel for you and the unfairness of people shuffling their obvious culpability onto others. I hope you manage to clobber him!

stacks we've got the hammock for him to sleep in, car seat (in case of sudden early arrival so we can get him home,) and travel system but only clothes and practical stuff are those we've been given. Planning to hold off buying clothes until as late as possible in case we get more hand me downs..

Off for 28+4 week mw appointment today,.am i right in thinking they start measuring size and position from now?

utopian99 · 25/09/2012 08:31

flumpy also sorry to hear about problems but welcome to the thread!

PurplePidjin · 25/09/2012 08:52

Hi, flumpy, try ice cream for heartburn - retired nurse MIL swears by it, and it's been keeping me sane as i can't stand the taste of aniseed, ie Gaviscon! Somewhere in this topic is our stats list, might be worth checking if someone else is nearby. I know I'd be up for coffee and comparing of notes sometime :)

Little monster got my lungs all squished up last night so i was short of breath lying down Angry on the plus side, dp agrees that I'm definitely far enough along to have a whinge - I've been saving it up so i don't get annoying, it feels nice to let it out :o

I was only discharged by camhs this time last year for ptsd so mw is watching closely. Also bricking it re pnd!

Clarella · 25/09/2012 09:03

Morning ladies, sorry to hear about your sleepless nights and welcome to flumpy, mamapo and coffeeandcream! (together all sound like very good names for rabbits!)

Sorry to hear about your exp and preterm labour flumpy. Must be doubly hard to cope with both do you have other support around you?

I actually slept well last night despite usual 4, 4.30 and 5 wee stops, and lo's scheduled shape throwing (he seems to love stretching then) I didnt do that wide awake I-could-write-an-essay thing. Happened last Monday too, wondering if yoga related.

Pidge, not impressed with that either, that does sound terrible. I think some of the guilt is that my bunch are off to y7 next year but the reports and transition starts now, and I felt like I knew them inside out to give all the hints and tips. However I trust my colleague implicitly - though have some guilt there too as she's dyslexic and has to pick up the reports which she'd stopped doing (and always found hard) as she went part time with her Lo and was covering ppa time. There's only 4 to do though and she's said she'd not consider upping her hours for any other class.

Ooops gotta get going, mw appt this morning and I'm on the metro but just heard there's delays due to floods ....

gilsbubbles · 25/09/2012 09:06

Im supposed be working for another 7 weeks but I'm starting to doubt it. My commute during the summer took 20 minute, now the schools are back it's taking more like an hour and rainy days like today the traffics a nightmare. I think we've moved 200m in the last 10 mins. Arrgghhh. I hate hate hate public transport

Hello

You all sound lovely! It's nice to feel there's people to share it with. I'm also scared about pnd especially as I'm alone. I just have this totally naive vision of being ok so long as she's ok. I think of a totally euphoria moment when all the turbulence will have been worth it.

Emily - its very hard and tempting as it is to cut him out he's her dad and I don't feel I have that right unless he hurts her. I will always love him and his son who used to live with us but I could never go back. If he could leave when I needed him most he could leave anytime and that's not a good basis for a family. I just hope we can be amicable and possibly even friendly for DD sake.

I will definitely try icecream for the heartburn!

Feet in ribs is constant and quite sore, I fear this will only get worse as they get bigger Smile

I'm totally organised and have everything but worry this may leave me bored in the coming weeks - although supposed to be staying in bed.

Exciting for everyone too! Especially those who don't know what they're having.

Stats? Where do I find that? Xx
