Is anyone else sleeping uncomfortable 🥴

11 weeks and all I do is toss and turn ! I’m an avid stomach sleeper and that’s the only comfortable position to sleep in but it also puts pressure on my belly 🥹 sleeping on my left side is not comfortable but I know I need to get used to it .

Any tips ?

Same same
Magnesium should work but no more than 360 MG before you sleep and consult with your doctor it works for me

Does it work like a muscle relaxer?

I was an avid stomach sleeper as well! It was the only way I could get comfortable and actually fall asleep. Now I don’t like it. I also don’t like sleeping on my sides very much. I found that sleeping on my back with one arm above my head and my legs over a pillow feels amazing all of a sudden (sleeping on my back was previously my most hated sleeping position). Maybe give it a try!

I also sleep in this quasi stomach position. On the left side with my right leg bent and under a pillow. I twist in that direction just a little bit so my stomach is facing the bed a little more but I’m not putting weight on it. I think this would probably be my new favorite position if I hadn’t injured my back 6 months ago.

thank you for that suggestion! I will try it

I usually tuck a pillow on my left or right side and make my self slightly turn sideways. I was looking at a pillow from sleepybelly, check it out I haven’t purchased it yet but it’s on my to do list. I’ve also noticed that sleeping on my left side makes me more nauseous which is weird bc I read that sleeping on the left is actually good.

honestly I feel the same ! I have so much discomfort on my left but the right not so much

I’m having the same problem😢 I’m a right side sleeper and trying to get accustomed to sleeping on my left side even with pillows sucks and only way I’ll sleep now is sitting up on the couch which is not comfortable 🥹

I would get a magnesium complex that aids in sleep and muscles and digestive system

😫😫😫 what we finna do

I’m a stomach sleeper too 😭
I toss and turn all night now. Right now I’ve found that part on tummy and part on the side with a pillow below the thigh/ knee is a good solution for me.
At least until the belly grows too big for it.

that sounds like a good idea !

Im getting a pillow this week so I'll let you know how i like it before recommending. Lately it's been my hips and lower left back achy

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?
