Insomnia!!

23+2 weeks and every single day this week I’ve woken up between 4.30-5am to go to the toilet and then can’t get back to sleep… usually lay in bed awake (might fall back to sleep for 30 mins before my alarm goes off at 7.30am) then I’m ruined for the whole day!

Anyone else the same?! Tips on falling back to sleep are welcome 🫠

I was like this with my first could never fall back to sleep. Once baby arrives trust me you’ll be able to fall asleep in 5 minutes 😂

Try eating something, normally works for me 😊

Midwife told me this is completely normal in pregnancy, I’ve been waking up early for aaaaages and it doesn’t matter what time I go to sleep, my body wakes me up at 4-530 every morning! Even if I still feel tired.

I’ve just started going to bed earlier, and getting up to have a hot drink and relax on the sofa before I start getting ready for the day! Xx

You could try taking something to make you drowsy before you go to bed. I find my sickness tablets make me drowsy and I asked my midwife and she said I could use them to help me sleep if needs be

Same thing, I usually get up around 4.20 am and feel like I have to pee and drink water and I am hungry at the same time. I couldn't go back to sleep until 6.30 am, it's exhausting ngl.

This happens to me on and off since 6 weeks! Eating a carby breakfast once I wake up early helps me too, I feel sleepy again within an hour. I prefer to get up, then chill on the sofa until I doze off for an extra hour or two

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
