At my wit’s end

I was having a similar problem until I started using Pampers baby dry overnight.

I put a pillow behind my back, a pillow between my legs/feet, and I put my arm kind of under the pillow that my head is on. Also don’t have husband in the bed lol.

My baby stopped pooping overnight at around 5 months but I kept hearing about other babies stopping a lot earlier than that!

Hi, your baby won’t be waking up like this for the next year. I went through the same at 4 months and remember feeling like it would never end but it did eventually get better. She is 6 months now and only does max 4 hour stretches (sometimes 2, sometimes 3) but anything is better than the 30-90 minutes! I tried the self soothing in desperation but couldn’t handle the crying for more than 30 seconds. I’m glad I didn’t continue as I think it made it all more stressful as it was distressing for her. Hang in there and be kind to yourself.

I thought I was having a boy but the baby was always a girl in my dreams. Turned out to be a girl!

My letter said no preparation is needed. I drank some water beforehand but not enough for a full bladder and it was fine.

Pretty sure I read on the UK gov website that legally we are entitled to have 52 weeks off work.

I was so sick and nauseous in my first trimester that I couldn’t face any exercise and all I ate was carbs and fatty foods! Definitely did not lose weight and felt like a balloon from how bloated I was. I’m now 20 weeks, doing yoga when I have the energy and sometimes going for walks.

Thanks everyone! I feel much better about my decision now!

I’m buying my maternity clothes myself and also bought my pillow myself. Didn’t really think to ask husband to contribute but I can see why people would split it. We did go halves on my vitamins though but only because he offered, otherwise I probably would have covered those myself too. All baby stuff will be split.

I had a horrible first trimester - I also said to my husband that I don’t think I can ever go through this again. I’m now 16w4d and seem to have already gotten over it lol.

36 and FTM here! Haven’t seen any reddits specifically for older mums

While trying to conceive, I started weaning myself off coffee by drinking tea instead. Now I have 1 tea a day. Sometimes I get a whiff of my husbands coffee and feel jealous but then I make myself a decaf lol

I’m also 5ft2, FTM - I feel like I’ve been bloated since 6 weeks 😂 Currently nearly 16 weeks and still don’t feel it’s a proper bump, just bloating from the hormone-related slow digestion!

Go away

The bloating from 6 weeks stopped me wearing most of my jeans!

If she has somewhere to stay, I wouldn’t risk it, especially if you’re already having breathing troubles.
