Yeah I’m convinced there is no actual comfortable sleep options in the mid-late third trimester 🫠

Sleep? what is sleep? 😩

Me 🙋🏻‍♀️ it's been so bad that my husband ordered me a new type of pregnancy pillow last night. I hate side sleeping 😭 I wake up with excruciating hip pain, flip over, then wake up again with the other hip in horrendous pain and flip again, over and over all night.

No pregnancy pillow here - I was getting by with king size firm pillows to support my leg and an old, flat decorative pillow insert for my bump when needed. I’m up every 1-3hrs to pee and the past two nights have been in pain to where I have to get up early. I’ve googled it and still can’t figure out why I’m hurting or how to resolve it. I’ve been doing all kinds of stretches and exercises for the past few weeks so idk!

THE HIP PAIN! YES! It’s so bad 🥲

What sleep?

I call this the rotisserie sleep style. Lol

Yes. I’m up every 1-4 hours to pee, and flip and sometimes I pick a whole new sleeping surface.
(Couch, bed, chair, spare bedroom…… )

I have two dogs that have become EXTREMELY attached to me since I got pregnant, and they do not help the situation needing to be right on top of me, while I’m sweating and needing to pee and flip lol,

I’m 35 weeks and have never used a pregnancy pillow I tried but I hate not being able to roll bc the pain in the hip I’m on I need to switch and flipping my whole pillow was to much freaking work

omg same!

they make ones you don’t have to flip, they’re the same all the way around! I personally loved mine that was like that when I was pregnant with my first but our cats destroyed it so obviously can’t use it this go round 😵‍💫

I sleep on a heating pad mainly from back pain

I love it 😂 how much rotisserie we talking here

don’t get me started on the hip pain

I’ve tried without the pillow and it was a nightmare to do, how woman sleep without the pillow is beyond me

I absolutely dread side sleeping it’s the worst thing that is ever done to a pregnant woman

I am convinced on that myself

literaly has me rolling over every 5 minutes and feeling like I’m flopping around like a fish out of water 😭

ikr it’s crazy we should be able to sleep comfortably

Baby cutlery

Out of curiosity.
If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

Moving while asleep

My 12 week old has been sleeping through the night (8 hours) for the last week and a half and since the 3rd or 4th night he's been wriggling his way to the other end of his crib to the point where his head is cocked to the side
He seems fine but it looks uncomfortable and ive always been told he needs to have his feet touching the bottom of his bed and if I move him back he wakes up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you leave it? Are there any potential issues if I do leave it?

5 am wake up🫩🥱

My 3 year old … lately has been waking at 5am 😭
I’m exhausted!

He winds down half an hour before bed - we get ready for bed, each of us read a book each, kisses and cuddles, a drink of water and up to bed. He goes down easy, I sit for 2 minutes literally and he’ll self sooth himself to sleep by 7:30pm he’s out! But the past 3 days he’s been waking and coming into my bed at 5am … me thinking he’ll go sleep he’ll just toss and turn and wants to go down…

Anyone in the same boat?

Help

Hi mamas! Has anyone dealt with their baby’s hair clumping at the back of their head? I tried baby oil to loosen it but no luck so far. Any advice?

Blood in baby’s poo

Ladies, I’ve just changed my baby and noticed some blood on his poo and on the diaper. The poo was quite soft, not pebbly and he wasnt straining or anything like that. Anyone had anything like this before? What is it? Shall i call the GP?

Struggling

My baby’s 5 weeks old and I am really struggling. I knew it would be hard but it’s so much harder in reality. She won’t be put down without waking up after 5 minutes. Won’t be put down at night either. I can’t do anything without doing it one handed holding her. Every night she spends hours being stressed and crying and really difficult to console, fighting sleep and nothing I do seems to help her for more than 30 seconds. I’m just putting this out there wondering if others are going through the same. It’s a lot.
