I don't mean to be dismissive of your concern because it's legit, but after two kids, I feel like sleep is just always changing that first year. Just when they nap well, then their night time sleep goes to crap or vice versa. There is always something: growth spurt, teething, illness.... my DS2 is 10 months and when he started daycare at 6 months he started taking 15 minute naps twice a day. She tried everything! Then a couple months(!) later he started napping for an hour at a stretch. Crazy babies! They just have no respect for any semblance of a schedule! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-napping-terribly-help#post-2651084 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 22:09:36 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2651084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is good night time sleep! My baby was still going to bed around 9:30 at that age. Unfortunately, at that age she started not sleeping very long for naps and the only way she would sleep longer than half an hour was if I fed her and then she fell asleep while eating and I sat or lay very still with her on me. I did that for 1.5-2.5 hours once a day....only baby! Haha. I agree it's a bit soon to be on a set schedule. </p> <p>Suggestions for longer naps though: white noise /music playing continuously. I heavily relied on this and still use it, but don't know if it does anything anymore. Is the nap routine the same when he does it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-napping-terribly-help#post-2651002 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 19:29:22 +0000 erinbaderin 2651002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely don't think she's sleeping too long at night, and I definitely DO think she needs more sleep than that during the day. Part of it could be adjusting to the change in situation, just like if she'd started daycare. At this age I'd suggest that she shouldn't be on a schedule so much as she should be going to sleep 90 minutes at most from when she wakes up. What is she sleeping in (crib, daddy's arms, etc)? Is the room dark? Has he tried swaddling or a swing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/11-week-old-napping-terribly-help#post-2650989 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 19:07:58 +0000 lovelychaos 2650989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am the mommy to a beautiful, happy ebf 11 week old baby girl. She is a wonderful sleeper at night (FINALLY lol) and goes to sleep at about 7:30pm. I feed her again around 10:30 just before I go to bed, and then she wakes once at 3:30 or 4 to eat, and goes back to sleep until around 7. This just recently started about a week ago. Up until this past week she would wake 2-3x per night, and would nap 3x per day for anywhere from 1-2.5 hours each time.<br /> The problem now is that during the day while I am away at work, she refuses to nap for her daddy. He is lucky to get 2 30 minute naps out of her. I initially thought that she was sleeping so well at night that she just didn't need much sleep during the day, but the more I talk to people and do some research, it seems she is still young enough to need more sleep during the day than what she is getting!<br /> What gives?! Could she be sleeping TOO long at night time? What do your littles schedules look like? I'm not looking to 'sleep train' right away and we don't even need her on a perfect schedule; she is still very little. But we are trying to get her to nap a little longer or at least get to the bottom of this. She is a happy little thing until about 3pm when she starts getting very fussy because she hasn't slept enough during the day. Any ideas/insight/words of wisdom will be so appreciated. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1090683 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:26:17 +0000 Vegmama 1090683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Awakemysoul: So great to hear that! I think weeks 12-18 were the hardest for me, as my symptoms started to let up, and I couldn't feel the baby moving yet. </p> <p>I am so happy everything is good with you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1090575 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 14:50:24 +0000 Awakemysoul 1090575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, turns out I am a bundle of paranoia. I caved and went for the viability scan. Everything is a-okay, in fact, I'm measuring a week ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1089178 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 07:09:29 +0000 avivoca 1089178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My symptoms let up around then too. Mainly the tiredness eased, as I didn't have much morning sickness. I remember POASing periodically throughout the first trimester because I was so worried (I didn't have my first appointment until 10 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1089161 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 06:59:33 +0000 MapleMoose 1089161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 11 weeks my nausea started to ease and by 12 weeks my fatigue was decreased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1089082 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 04:36:10 +0000 Grace 1089082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal. Same thing happened to me, and inevitably, the symptoms would come back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088984 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:44:35 +0000 lemondrop 1088984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 12 weeks my symptoms stopped for a few days. I felt great and absolutely freaked out. Everything was fine though at my next ultrasound, and I started feeling crappy again shortly after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088845 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:14:17 +0000 LovelyPlum 1088845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats, and welcome!</p> <p>I'm 10+4, and my symptoms briefly let up around week 8. They've come back with a vengeance the last 10 days or so, though. All that to say that I think symptoms can come and go. But I second previous posters: if you're worried, go in. I was in on Thursday to ease my mind after I had some bleeding. No sense in stressing all week if you don't have to!</p> <p>Good luck to you. And when you get a second, join us on the due date month boards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088813 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:02:00 +0000 Awakemysoul 1088813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: :) thanks. I really want to stick it out and go as planned next weekend for the 12 week scan with DH. Hearing others have similar experiences/worries is reassuring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088795 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:55:27 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1088795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Literally could have wrote word for word what you wrote. Including the ultra sound past 6 weeks ! I felt the exact same way before my 12 week appointment which was also on a Thursday :) it went perfectly! Also got pregnant on our first try so thought it was all just too easy. </p> <p>I'm sure everything is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088787 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:53:04 +0000 Awakemysoul 1088787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: @Danizaur:<br /> Thank you for your responses. I always fear the worse, especially since so far it's been so easy. We got pregnant our first time trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088776 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:48:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1088776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is normal for symptoms to go away around that time. I barely had any honestly. But if you're concerned I would go in. You'll just worry yourself sick over the next few days if you don't.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088771 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:45:48 +0000 Awakemysoul 1088771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gave me a requisition for an ultrasound to use if I needed. I'm torn, DH is at a conference so if I did, I'd have to go by myself. I'd feel guilty about hearing the heartbeat for the first time without him. Our anniversary is also on Wednesday, we haven't had the greatest luck (DH grandpa died just before our first anniversary, and last year his grandma took a really bad fall) so if something is wrong, I'd hate to associate that with our anniversary too. </p> <p>I just worry I'm going to stress out about it all week. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088745 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:33:23 +0000 artsyfartsy 1088745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's about when my symptoms started to let up. I had the same feelings! I had no signs I was pregnant and started I wonder if I still was. Just relax! Lots of women experience the same feelings. :)</p> <p>Always trust your instincts though. If you really feel something is wrong see if your midwife can squeeze you in for a quick check! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-for-pregnancy-symptoms-to-go-away-in-first-trimester#post-1088742 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:30:32 +0000 Awakemysoul 1088742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello, new member, first pregnancy. I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant, and have had so far limited symptom pregnancy. Was exhausted the first couple of weeks and sore boobs which left and then came back. Some mild nausea, and threw up a few times. </p> <p>Recently in the last 1.5-2 weeks the soreness and nausea have gone away. I'm still waking up to pee through the night and have the occasional pain/twinge/cramp in my abdomen, especially when coughing while laying down. I had an ultrasound at 6.5 weeks and saw the heartbeat (125 bpm). </p> <p>I just can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Next midwife appointment is Thursday and 12 week scan next weekend, I just am so worried the baby has stopped growing and my body hasn't caught on. </p>
