February 2016 babies - the chundering continues

[twinsandapenguin]

The thread has filled up!

teddy I was he same. Terrible insomnia, mixed in with a bad back that stops me sleeping comfortably. I was averaging 3hours a night (which on a good night were two 90minute stretches.
I hope it's not as bad this time, but mild insomnia seems to have already kicked in

Last time I was so excited for baby to be born so I could get more sleep. Everyone thought I was mad, but two hour sleep cycles with a baby was bliss compared to my pregnancy sleeping!

teddy and quack same here, barely slept in last trimester of last pg, i got more sleep breastfeeding a newborn. I remember saying excitedly on my first morning home with ds how chuffed i was to have had 6 hours sleep! (broken by feeding).
I am also a little.concerned as i havent slept through in the last 2 weeks and im getting really really tired. I go to sleep fine in the evening, but wake up in the night and lie awake for hours, usually until alarm goes off.
Anyone with a solution, please let me know!!

Anyone else noticed we aren't the 'babies' of the threads anymore. There is now a March group. For some reason that excites me!
Off for an early scan today. Quite nervous. Fx!

Good luck firsttimenewbie!

Mars I was waking up at 3/4am and lying awake until time to get up, that lasted a couple of weeks but now it seems to be closer to 6am which is just about acceptable...fingers crossed you start sleeping better too!

I told my manager yesterday after the nearly fainting episode on Friday, thought it would be best to tell her sooner rather than later. She was happy!

lily and Mawsy, so sorry you're going through such difficult times I know there are no words that will make it better but I'm thinking of you both.

It's crazy that there are people on a march bus already, I'm sure we don't have that many due late feb?

Do we have any 29 Feb people yet?!

I'm another who's really bloated. It's like my stomach muscles have completely given up and can't hold my tummy in any more. I had this last time and I'm afraid it lasted until being gradually replaced by bump.

Rally I've got that problem. I've not even got any other dc so I don't even have that excuse of it being a 2nd pregnancy. But end of the day my trousers are unbuttoned and practically unzipped!!

My stomach muscles are shot to pieces, they've always been really weak.

Got a horrible feeling I will be huge. I'm only 5ft so baby has nowhere to go but out plus with knackered tummy muscles only means 1 thing.

Fatty McFatty!!!

Bleeding has carried on. Sat in doctor's waiting room waiting to be fit in between other patients. Don't have a good feeling about it

Also, my plan to coolly, calmly tell my (male) boss what was going on did not work. Instead I blurted out I'm pregnant then burst into tears. Smooth.

Sorry to hear that abfab

I'm bloated but also had horrible trapped wind yesterday. So much so I had to go home from work. Managed to spend the day farting and burping until most of it had gone. Joy!

rally I get 28th/29th on the calculators.

ab good luck, I hope you are okay.

Good luck ab

Good luck Ab

Good luck Ab

Good luck ab!

I hope it goes Ok with the doctor Ab

Very best of luck ab

I have started with the vivid dreams- was in New York, had been attacked by gene wilder in a previous episode of dream and he was now my cab driver trying to abduct me!

Are vivid pregnancy dreams ever pleasant?!

Thinking of you Abfab.

Wow, I thought the waking up early was just coincidence, maybe it isn't!

At least if I'm bloated until I start to show, people will take longer to guess!

AbFab fingers crossed for you xxx

Is anyone else being woken up by the constant need to wee? I'm getting up 2-3 times in the night just for a toilet break! 12am, 3am and 6am seem to be a very common theme for me.

An email from a senior colleague just made me burst into tears.

What the actual fuck???

I need to get a grip

Rufus, my current pattern seems to be: sleeping normally until 3 or 4 in the morning, then waking up feeling very awake and needing a wee, then going back to bed and sleeping like the dead until my alarm goes off at 7 and feeling really disorientated when I try to get up at my normal time (I couldn't work out what was making all the noise this morning - it was my alarm)... I'm beginning to think maybe I should just get up and stay up at 3 or 4, seeing as it's obviously what my body wants! I'm also an absolute radiator while I sleep at the moment.

The vivid dreams have started too - first thing on Saturday morning my DH says "I'm going to get in the shower." I reply with "OK, I'll unpack the bags." He says "OK........Wait...What bags?!" (There were no bags.)

Thank you for all your good luck wishes. The doctor was lovely, really calm and took his time over everything, despite me being squeezed in between other patients.

I had a scan and the sac is in the right place but no foetal pole or heartbeat yet, which at 5+3ish I was sort of expecting anyway. He's done another hcg test and I'll be having another (4th!) one on Thursday to compare. I'm expecting today's to be around 6000-8000 if it has approximately doubled every 48hrs since my last one. I should get the result this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Not out of the woods yet but I'm feeling a lot more human than I was a couple of hours ago.

I'm now hoping that the extreme emotion I felt was down to pregnancy hormones, rather than just the fear of miscarriage. I also had a very weird and vivid dream last night. That's a good sign, right?

Is anyone else having a scan today

AbFab, that sounds a bit more positive. FX for the hcg results.
