Hey Lizzle, you mean a doppler? Well Spencer reckons if he puts his head on my tummy when its really quiet he can hear bubs, and he described it as being a lot faster than my heartbeat so I guess he can hear it ok. He doesn't do it much coz our boy kicks out all the time.
I have my next midwife appointment tomorrow.....YAY!! Hopefully she will be able to tell me if he is facing the right way at this stage, I can't tell. All I know is I'm getting ALOT of pain on my cervix I think he is either poking me or stomping on it but not sure....]]> Mon, 20 Feb 2006 11:36:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=28799&title=does-anyone-else-have#28799 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=28763&title=does-anyone-else-have#28763 Author: lizzle

Well as usual I'm up & about at a late hour.I thought I would jump online to see what I've been missing and its been heaps!!! SO many busy people! I feel like life is standing still for me at the mo or maybe it's like that Groundhog Hog Day movie. Only difference is I keep getting "fatter" & I'm not able to move around comfortably. Mr Bump is sitting up very high making it hard to breathe & I'm reduced to eating a couple of mouthfuls of food at a time or I bring it back up again, I don't really remember what sleep is either.....SIGH.......Ok enough of me whinging now

Lol Nikki, I dunno how he managed to carry me. I'm a bit of a heffalump now!!
Well sleep is still an issue so I am going to try that tea stuff. Hot water bottle didn't work unfortunately, it might have just been the lightness of being in water that made Mr Bump fall asleep before (I have a really big deep bath) so onwards to the next possible sleep deprivation cure. ]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2006 09:34:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26916&title=does-anyone-else-have#26916 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26871&title=does-anyone-else-have#26871 Author: nikkitheknitter

Check this with your midwife first but I use sleep tea when I have had a long day and just want some Zzzzzz's. You buy it from the supermarket (next to all the normal tea bags and stuff) - Doesn't taste too bad either.
It relax's your body and I crash within about 1/2 an hour of having it but if Arna wakes up I wake up still as well so its not a "coma" thing. There is also one called "Relax" tea...

Suss it out Good Luck with your sleep and the fiesty Mr Bump!]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2006 19:11:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26861&title=does-anyone-else-have#26861 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26843&title=does-anyone-else-have#26843 Author: Paws

Wow I just woke up from 2 hours worth of sleep! Somehow managed to get a headache but feeling abit more alive. I went out on the farm with Spencerr & Alex on the quad and managed to pass out with my head on Spencer's shoulder. Apparently Spencer didn't even notice until the boss pointed it out as he was riding past So Spencer tooks us home, somehow managed to carry me inside to the bed (huge belly & all!) without waking me up, then took Alex out again so I could do some catch up sleep. I guess I just got to the point where I couldn't keep going & just crashed. ]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2006 16:17:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26840&title=does-anyone-else-have#26840 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26820&title=does-anyone-else-have#26820 Author: Carmel

Thats it I'm off to buy a hot water bottle! And lavender of some sort! I'm willing to try just about anything to get some sleep. Luckily I'm not needing to go to the loo a million times coz Mr Bump is sitting very high.
Oh and Tania, my son Alex was very smilar to this one, very active and he was a GREAT sleeper. He has been sleeping all through the night since he was 6 weeks old (except for a few nights while teething)....Maybe he wore himself out while in the womb Now at 15 months old, he sleeps about 4 hours during the day & 11 hours at night. Although when he IS awake he is nonstop on the go.]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2006 11:32:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26804&title=does-anyone-else-have#26804 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26755&title=does-anyone-else-have#26755 Author: nikkitheknitter

Hi Kim, the rubbing on the side works right up until I stop doing it! Then it starts up again....Sigh!
Spencer said tonight he will rub my belly so hopefully I will fall asleep before he does and also hopefully I will be to tired that all the movement won't wake me up again.
I managed to get to sleep about 2am this morning, or at least last time I looked at my alarm clock it was just before 2am. And then I woke up at 5am when Spencer got up this morning so I'm absolutely buggered already.
Seriously ladies this is just ridiculous.]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2006 07:44:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26748&title=does-anyone-else-have#26748 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26743&title=does-anyone-else-have#26743 Author: Kim

Well, I think I've exhausted all my other options so I'm going to head off to bed. All my housework is done except vaccuming so I'm going to try my best to sleep in & make an attempt to have a midday snooze while ALex is asleep. It's just a matter of falling asleep because Alex is still sleeping about 4 hours during the day.

Well once again I'm sitting up unable to sleep. I have tried but after an hour & a half I gave up, I was keeping Spencer awake while I was rolling around trying to get comfy.
Hi Aimee, Mr Bump is only just starting to reach my ribs so I haven't had any problems so far..... I have fingers crossed too that my ribs stay located where they are! Lizzle, I have definitely tried to sleep when Alex is having his nap, but it's just not happening. When I was pregnant with Alex he moved heaps but there were plenty of times when he was quiet so sleep was never really a problem. Its like this little guy is on speed or something. He never stops moving & the movement gets alot stronger when I'm resting which is really not helpful. I tried having a warm bath tonight which seemed to work but as soon as I got out he started up again.
I wish I could sleep through the kicks & elbowing but I can't. Its really hard to explain but the best I can put it is, if Mr Bump was a basketball I shoved up my top, then the basketball is falling waaayyyyyyyy off to the side so I look deformed or something with a hump on my side instead of out front.
Do you think acupunture would help get Bubs to relax & cut me some slack? ]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2006 22:56:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26741&title=does-anyone-else-have#26741 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26735&title=does-anyone-else-have#26735 Author: fairsk8

I feel for you Toni. It's rough with not sleeping so well, and having a toddler to run around after. The best i can offer is try and sleep in Alex's sleep time, or get your partner to feed and bathe Alex while you have a nap, or at least a sit-down and relax. Are there any dvds or videos that Alex will watch, while you sit and relax? Jake is very energetic, but actually will sit and watch several shows - Wiggles, Hi 5 and those baby einstein dvds aer favourites. tehy have been saviours during breastfeeding.]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2006 21:31:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26730&title=does-anyone-else-have#26730 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1458&PID=26726&title=does-anyone-else-have#26726 Author: aimeejoy

a 24 hour party going on in their tummy?? I'm getting exhausted pretty quickly what with the heat & not being able to sleep anytime before midnight lately. Mr Bump is seriously having a party or something because he is moving NONSTOP! I have tried everything I can think of to get some sleep, but even my midday snoozes aren't happening anymore coz of elbows & feet poking out everywhere. I thought Alex was a mover & a shaker but it just seems so much worse this time. Anyone else? And what are you doing to get some sleep? I only had about 3 hours sleep this morning & then had to get up to get Alex breakfast.
