@seahawk80 He’s always napped in his pushchair (we were nomads for 7 months when he was little due to renovating our house, and we never switched back to napping in a cot). I think I might just have to tough it out and accept he’ll be tired for a while. So pleased you’re finally getting to unpack the kitchen! It’ll be so nice once you’re sorted, living in a temporary state is always a bit tricky. Glad the bleeding has stopped and hope you get a quick appointment tomorrow at the EPU.
@footprintsintheslow We’re the same with TV. It was perhaps a once a week for half an hour before this, now it’s about a necessity in the afternoon to push him through the rest of the day without a complete breakdown from tiredness.
@hagster @kerryW87 so true about being on a different page to your partner sometimes. Grief isn’t linear, so everyone will do things in their own order. I went straight back to work and pushed through, as I really needed to, then had a bit of a crash and took some time. My DH probably thought I was a bit mental. He’s always been a bit quiet about it, but when I got pregnant again he didn’t talk about the pregnancy until I was about 16 weeks, so I think that was his way. With grief, any thing is appropriate so long as you just go with what you need at the time, even if it doesn’t match up with what your other half needs.
@marmitecheesetoast Fingers crossed DS gets used to no nap soon as anything past 4pm just isn’t fun at the moment. I get very vivid dreams all the time at the moment. A lot of the time it is DS dying (awful to say, but I have dreams like this at least 3 times a week). He’s usually his age, but then when he dies he becomes a tiny baby. This week, after agreeing induction by 40 weeks with the consultant, I’ve started dreaming about them forgetting and not letting me get induced early and something awful happening with the baby. It’s exhausting me out to be honest. Sorry if that’s too awful a thing to write about, but I’ve heard that vivid dreams in pregnancy is common, and for us I think sad dreams are perhaps another sad effect from losing pregnancies. Sending a hug. Do you have another appointment with the consultant to follow up with more questions?
@MOGMOGMOG85 I haven’t had terrible heart burn, but some bad episodes. I have to eat small meals more often, never get really hungry or really full. Then I can pretty much have anything. But that might just be what works for me, more knowledgeable people will hopefully be able to give advice!
