Anyone else no longer waking up in the middle of the night for a wee?

kchapper5 · 13/10/2013 09:16

mum what a fucking bitch. Definitely have the ice cream :) my dp goes away tomorrow to Germany for a week and I'll be stressed enough without some slag hitting on him so you have my full sympathy and rage :)
Good luck feather hope today's as least stressful as possible.
We are painting today lisa I'm a bit excited think things will feel slightly more real afterwards. :/
alyssa I'm definitely weeing less than I was from 2/3 times a night too once last night and nothing the night before :)

WhisperMen · 13/10/2013 09:22

Alyssa I'm weeing MORE in the night now. 8 times last night. I wouldn't mind, but I hadn't had anything to drink for about 2 hours before bed!

mum ugh what a cowbag. good job you had icecream.

ringaringarosy · 13/10/2013 10:42

I still wee in the night,once or twice,i remember near the end with the others it was more like 4 or 5 times a night.

We dont do the whole nursery thing,ive just bought an emperor size bed,we have a super king at the moment and theres me dh and dc4,who is 1 in there,with dc3 who is 3 and a half joining us most nights too,was getting a bit squashed so the extra room will be good,espescially when this one joins us!They do all have their own rooms but they dont really sleep in there!

AM still having tons of braxton hicks though,its wierd,i never had them with the first 3,but this time and last time ive had quite strong ones from about 20 weeks.

Alyssa1978 · 13/10/2013 11:15

OMG!!!! I have just cried for an hour straight just because dp let me carry a basket of laundry upstairs and then when I finally stopped I cried again cos he'd left carrot in the sink.....WTF?? I've never been a cryer Confused

Bloody hell ring that's a lot of people in a bed lol, I go mad sometimes with 3 in lol.

whisper 8 times....wow! Don't think I've ever been that much in the night lol, it's a wonder you get any sleep, bless you.

kchapper glad it's not just me seeing less, the worrier in me over analyses everything into "there's something wrong" why am I not weeping more and when it starts again ill be complaining about getting up, feel like I'm never happy Blush

Alyssa1978 · 13/10/2013 11:17

weeing less that was and weeing more....damn autocorrect lol

lisbapalea · 13/10/2013 11:19

Finally finished the DIY! Am lying down enjoying the laziness while dh packs away all the tools and cleans the painting stuff.

Am totally staaaarving and cannot wait for our pub lunch where we're meeting my folks and dd who has stayed with them for the weekend. Am planning on gorging on a full on roast beef lunch with all the trimmings, and have saved my weekly booze unit for the occasion!

Is anyone else feeling a massive surge in appetite, or am I just being incredibly greedy?!

WhisperMen · 13/10/2013 11:48

I am starving all the time lisb I can eat a huge meal then 2 hours after be ravenous again. Either that or I can only eat one bite. There is no happy medium. Enjoy your roast :D
I am permanently shattered alyssa Bloody night time wees. I don't go that much in the day, I think my body saves it for when I sleep!

PinkWitch803 · 13/10/2013 14:01

I wee for England at night. The other night I hit double figures! I can't argue with my body, even when I know it will be nothing more than a dribble :(

qumquat · 13/10/2013 14:30

I wee all night too! I always wee twice a night even when not pregnant, so I'm used to that, but last night it was at least once an hour. I looked at the clock after my 4th or 5th wee, expecting it to be approaching morning, only to discover it was only 2am. I bawled my eyes out!!!

abcdemma · 13/10/2013 14:33

Glad you've got the Ben & Jerry's to keep you company mum
Loss of appetite for me recently, got up late today and ate a Whispa but couldn't face anything more. Having tea at MIL's later so will save self for that I think. I just have to pee all the time at work, and it hits suddenly and painfully when I'm in the middle of serving customers usually. Night time is just once or twice thankfully.
Hope everyone has nice Sundays Smile

mumoftwoboysS · 13/10/2013 14:46

Thanks for all the support ladies and loving your angry swear-filled comments, has made me feel much better Smile it's been a loooong week. So can't wait for DH to get back- his flight is delayed so he won't see the kids before their bed, poor things. And another bedtime battle for me. Bloody crap.

I usually need to get up for a wee in the night but last night managed to get all the way through tho felt uncomfortable by morning!

I can also join the crying for little or no reason club- I've not been too bad up till now but the last few days hardly anything sets me off!!

30 weeks today- yay!! So want to get started on painting the nursery but have to wait till DH can help clear the last few bits of office furniture and crap. My mum is helping paint- don't think she was impressed with my decoration ideas- she's more of a 'pastels are for babies' person (well actually she's afraid of colour- her whole house is off white walls and beige everything else!) I'm going for turquoise on one wall and the rest white/off white so I'm sure she won't be able to say anything nice about it! I went for baby yellow for the original nursery (now ds2's room) but so sick of it now. Can't scroll back but whoever was making over their other child's room and surprising them, what a lovely idea! I really need to change both boys rooms now they're older but don't know how much time I'll have before baby is born!

mumoftwoboysS · 13/10/2013 14:52

And ring wow it must be a fidgety bed with all the kids in with you- how do you sleep? I must admit, I'm selfish, couldn't have them in with me- I get too hot as it is with DH in there. Just noticed this week whilst he's away I haven't had restless leg once. I'm sure it's because I get too hot. I often have to gently nudge him away when going to sleep (whilst thinking bugger off goddamit I'm so frigging hot you selfish bastard- moi hormonal and irrational??)

WhisperMen · 13/10/2013 14:58

Oh guys I have got myself in a bit of a predicament. Got in the bath earlier to try and soothe my back ache. I now can't get out. I've been here 2 hours and now the hot water has run out. DP isn't home from work until 5 and the front door is locked and only me and DP have keys for it so I can't call anyone to help me. Not entirely sure how to get out haha. I can't stop laughing at how stupid this situation is.

froubylou · 13/10/2013 15:13

Oh god whisper thats not funny love.

If you let the water out will you be able to get out if the bath is dry?

If not you are going to have to call your dp and get him to come home early. Unless he can give someone else a key to come and help?

WhisperMen · 13/10/2013 15:22

it is pretty funny. I shall wait for the water to cool and then try draining the water and attempting to get out. These sort of things always bloody well happen to me.

Alyssa1978 · 13/10/2013 16:10

Bloody hell whisper are you out yet?
Is there any way you can flip over onto your knees first. It's bad enough getting up from the floor etc with siatica but it must be worse trying to move with a bad back......bless you.

Phone your dp to help you and let us know when you're saved

WhisperMen · 13/10/2013 16:40

DP will be home in 10 minutes and will help me out then. I'm all wrinkly haha.

PistachioTruffle · 13/10/2013 16:44

Whisper, you poor thing! I hope Mr Whisper doesn't decide to make a detour to the shops or something on his way home! Have you rang him?

WhisperMen · 13/10/2013 16:50

yeah I rang him and he laughed at me and will probably spend all bloody night laughing at me.

Featherbag · 13/10/2013 18:07

Oh Whisper, I'm so sorry but that's just made me smile, hope it wasn't too horrible!

I'm 10.5 hours in to my last shift, I'm absolutely crippled and can feel the whole waiting room staring at me every time I hobble slowly across to get notes or hand over, but I'm determined not to crack and leave early, only another 2.5 hours to go, I WILL do it! Found out exactly who the gossipy bitches are, no surprises at all, if it wasn't for the fact I'd drop my mate in by doing so I'd file a formal grievance against them. Had a few comments today but not from anyone who matters, so sod them.

Stom91 · 13/10/2013 19:02

2.5 hours Featherbag and you're a free woman! (workwise) congratulations :)

whisper so glad you've been saved

Me and dp have spent the entire day in our pj's and watching breaking bad... It has been amazing!!

Now feeling fat after eating loads of lasagne

froubylou · 13/10/2013 19:08

Glad you are out whisper. Don't forget to only have a bath when your dp is home.

You should only have an hour and a half left now feather. Not long now. I would still be tempted to let them know that I know what they said. Just to make them squirm a bit.

Had a very lazy day and done nothing. Had pizza hut for tea and haven't finished picking yet. Can't see there being any left lol.

Alyssa1978 · 13/10/2013 20:13

Glad you're saved whisper I bet you're all shrivelled bless you.

feather if I'm right you've got a half hour to go, I hope it wasn't too bad Hun and screw the bitches, life's too short. Don't worry about people who aren't your friends, there's a reason they didnt make it into your life.

stom and frouby so jealous I love lasagne and Pizza Hut, salad bar is my favourite, I'm a fan of the bacon but lol Grin
