Sleep. What is that? I never sleep anymore. It’s no wonder I can barely focus during the day and that I’m falling asleep at my desk by 2pm and generally feeling like crap!
My nights are spent constantly walking back and forth from the bedroom to the bathroom. I make sure that I don’t drink too much before bedtime (I’m actually going to give myself a drinks curfew now!) and the moment before I go to sleep I make sure I try just one last time.
No matter what.. I wake up no more than an hour later needing another wee. Another 90 minutes after that, another wee and then another 90 minutes after that… yes, you guessed it – ANOTHER WEE!!
This means that I never get any more than an hours sleep at a time. You may be thinking ‘how come if she is only weeing every 90 minutes that she never gets more than an hours sleep?’ Well, that’s because I am probably the worlds worst sleeper anyway and getting to sleep can take me anything up to about 3 hours!
I’m hoping that as Flump moves up that the pressure will be taken off my bladder and that I can start sleeping again. Unfortunately, I’m not one of these people that can sleep during the day (unless I’m really unwell), so the most I can manage is laying on the bed for about half an hour before I get bored. Useless… yes, that’s me!
So, with the constant need to wee, the sickness kicking in at around 11am every morning and then returning with a vengeance every afternoon between 4pm and 5pm, I’m not much good to anyone. All I can do around that time of day is mope. I rarely eat a proper dinner. (I live on sandwiches these days. Yum.. not!) and all I want to do is sleep, even though I can’t.
Oh well, it’s all worth it for little Flump

Sorry to say but with my partner it got worse!
As the baby gets bigger it increases it pressure on the bladder, she put it down to the joys of being pregant!

When I was pregnant I lived in a 3 storey house with the loo on the ground floor behind a locked door (it had originally been an outside loo and the house was extended to make a hallway out to the loo but the door was locked for extra security). Had to invest in a camping loo in the end because I couldn’t cope with going up & down the stairs all night!
See you soon!
