I would offer advice BUT we struggled with sleep starting around 3 months (sometimes her day sleep was bad, sometimes it was night sleep) &amp; it just now resolved itself at 7 months. Nothing I did really worked...lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-old-napping-problems#post-1565936 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 15:45:15 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1565936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: she ended up waking up by herself. I'm hoping this will be the turning point for her and she'll start sleeping better at night and taking at least 1 good nap a day. Of course she improves once mommy is freaking out enough to write a post. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-old-napping-problems#post-1565911 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 15:10:10 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1565911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I would let her sleep! Until you absolutely have to leave or if you don't mind being late, let her sleep until you planned on being there &amp; then get her up. My DD doesn't usually get too upset if I have to wake her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-old-napping-problems#post-1565908 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 15:04:40 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1565908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>So... LO is taking a monster nap today. I guess the hour long nap/walk this morning reset her clock. She's going on 3 hours... Do I wake her?? She needs get sleep obviously, but we have somewhere to be in an hour. We can be late to that though if we have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-old-napping-problems#post-1565745 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 12:41:10 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1565745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my 9, almost 10 week old baby's naps have gone to complete crap the past few days. She didn't sleep more than 30 naps yesterday which ended in my DH trying to calm her while she screamed for 30-40 min at her bed time. Her night sleep is also not as good as it used to be. She used to sleep 5-6 hour stretch from about 945 to 3am then another 3 hours after she ate. Now she'll only sleep 4 hours maybe. Then 2, then 40 min until she's up for the day. </p> <p>I took her for an hour and a half long walk today and she got about an hour of sleep before she woke up. She's working on her second nap right now. </p> <p>I just don't know if I'm missing her sleep signs maybe? I feed her for 30-60 minutes total, and change her diaper, and by the time I'm done with that, she's been up for like 1 hour 10 minutes which I feel like I need to put her to sleep again. But I can never tell if she's giving me sleepy signs or not. She always cries and struggle with her swaddle when I get her ready. Should I be starting more of s nap routine of books and song? Maybe white noise? Right now she's in the swing, but I'm thinking of moving her to her crib when I get the audio monitor on Tuesday. </p> <p>I'm sorry if this is long and jumbled. I just am at a loss as to how to get her to sleep longer. I'd be happy with just 1 long nap/day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1256802 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 15:36:48 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 1256802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Ham: aww such a beautiful sound I bet! :happy: I can't wait to hear my LO's at next appt in three weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1256643 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:59:02 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1256643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1256596 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:46:03 +0000 mfa_lady 1256596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. ham: SO AMAZING! I'd imagine there's nothing quite like it - until you see that little munchkin, of course! Here's to your little one! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1256579 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:42:03 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1256579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: It was amazing! He warned me that we may not find it since it's still early - but there it was loud and clear. I got a little teary eyed, and am still replaying that sound in my head! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1256448 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:51:31 +0000 mfa_lady 1256448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, yay!

At 10 weeks my LO was still so tucked under my pelvic bone we couldn't hear her and had to do an US to make sure she was OK. Glad to hear your LO was more cooperative! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1256123 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 12:11:15 +0000 LovelyPlum 1256123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you didn't get to see baby, but congratulations on hearing the heartbeat! What a wonderful sound! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1256114 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 12:08:27 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1256114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got back from the Dr - no ultrasound, but I got to hear the baby's heartbeat! There is no sound on earth more beautiful than that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255616 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:35:42 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1255616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Ooh, thanks for the reminder about that. Yeah, the Mr. might like a little warning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255586 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:27:17 +0000 Mae 1255586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I know I'm lucky! My doc's office runs very on time, I love it! I was especially appreciating that yesterday because I went for my anatomy scan (which is done in another office by a tech) and I had to wait like 40 min to get in. I was like omg this suuucks haha. I was there 2.5 hrs total! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255583 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:26:16 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1255583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I hope so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255581 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:25:51 +0000 Mae 1255581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Ham: Even if they don't do an ultrasound, hearing the heartbeat is SO cool!! My husband opted to take off work for all my appointments just to come and hear the heartbeat :) Also, in case they do do an ultrasound-- just a warning that it is generally an internal one before 12 weeks. My friends warned me about that and also to warn my husband of that because I guess some guys get a little weirded out by the dildo-cam if they aren't expecting it hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255580 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:25:38 +0000 mlm2934 1255580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: ummm I want to go to your doctor if it's 15min including wait time!!!! The wait time at my last appt was a nightmare </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255574 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:24:19 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1255574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I'm hoping for an ultrasound - but I'm a little afraid that they won't do one until 20 weeks for some reason :( Hoping it's not just a quick in and out - the Mr. is taking off of work to come! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255571 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:23:47 +0000 littlek 1255571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Ham: You will most likely get your first ultrasound. Yay!!!! first baby picture!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255565 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:22:46 +0000 Mae 1255565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first OB appt at 8 weeks and I had a dating ultrasound at that point. Since then, I have appointments every 4 weeks and they are super quick! Weight, pee in a cup, the doc comes in and asks if I am having any issues/pain/problems or if I have any questions, she reviews my weight chart and blood pressure, and then she gets out the doppler and checks baby's heartbeat. That's it! We are usually in and out in under 15 minutes including wait time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-week-appointment#post-1255554 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:21:13 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1255554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good morning, Hive! I have my first appointment with by OB/GYN today. I saw a nurse at 7 weeks, and am now 10.5 weeks. I don't know why, but I'm so nervous! I have no idea what to expect. They did the intro paperwork, blood work, etc... last time. What happens today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-so-lazy-and-so-guilty#post-759993 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:44:37 +0000 Vegmama 759993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm right there with you.

I don't feel as guilty and I'm just looking forward to being able to do all the stuff around the house and having the energy to do so :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-so-lazy-and-so-guilty#post-740777 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:21:11 +0000 googly-eyes 740777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're not behind!! Don't worry about it. I found the first trimester to be the most difficult by far. It usually subsides as you head into the second, hope you're feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-so-lazy-and-so-guilty#post-740499 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:22:20 +0000 tysonja 740499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh man, i've been through it twice (20 weeks with #2 right now!) and it's NO JOKE!!! for me it lasts between weeks 8-16 and then magically goes away after that. in retrospect i guess it is not tooooo long, but during those weeks it's pretty terrible and our household pretty much screeches to a halt! </p> <p>i think the worst part for me is around weeks 13&amp;14 i've kinda forgotton what it's like to feel normal and i begin to feel guilty about all the things you noted, because i feel like i should be able to do them. when the fatigue and nausea are finally over i look back and tell myself that i shouldn't have felt bad at all and just give myself a break.</p> <p>also, there is sooooooo much time after to read about pregnancy and childbirth and newborns! don't worry about it at all! i hope it ends soon for you! :) congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-so-lazy-and-so-guilty#post-740486 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:15:40 +0000 chesamine 740486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: Thanks to you and all that have given their input so far. It's been awesome how all your comments have made me feel better only in a matter of hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tired-so-lazy-and-so-guilty#post-740483 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:14:32 +0000 chesamine 740483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleGBee: I should just really learn to nap. But with this full time job, geez, I don't know when I'll ever be able to get it. </p>
