How many hours of sleep do you think you got during your third trimester?? I am 35 weeks and wake up every 2 hours to pee. (I know I’ll get less when baby comes 🙃) but just curious !

Same. As absolutely challenging as newborn days were there were two immediate reliefs:
- Not having to pee all the time
- Being able to eat a full meal with no heartburn, nausea, etc.
Those two gifts were almost as amazing as my baby 😂

31 weeks. I get up twice a night on average due to heartburn, eat a tums and then try to fall asleep. Then the insomnia kicks in so stay up reading for a few hours. Just as I'm getting sleepy, I need to pee. So while I go to bed 10pm-7am, I'm really sleeping <6 hours.
Weekend afternoon naps are my new favorites from 2-4pm.

I hated the peeing all night more than staying up all night with my newborn.

I’m 32 weeks and also up every 2 hours! Just starting to hit that point where I feel like I need a nap most days.

34 weeks, been waking up every 1.5-2 hours every night for a while due to need to pee or just pain or being uncomfortable. I’m in bed from 10:30 to 7 every night, and always take a 1 - 1.5 hour nap at some point

This makes me feel better. I thought I had an exceptionally small bladder. Glad to know everyone else gets up as frequently

M1 - me too! I have a 2 week old and I’m just so much more comfortable now and I can nap during the day. And go long without peeing!

I’m like 4 cause I would vomit in my sleep and wake up choking on burning vomit

I actually had to start taking half a unisom because otherwise I couldn’t fall back asleep after my first bathroom break (so for a while, I would get about 2 hours of sleep, then just be awake until 4 am, then finally drift back to sleep). Now I’m still waking up about 4x/night, but at least I’m able to fall back asleep!

This is me too

We use a Doona and our pediatrician wasn’t concerned with trips less that 2 hours. I also got a carrier and wore the baby for some walks. The caution there is that the baby would get very warm so I would use less layers of clothing.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

Just a thought, perhaps the admin can pin two threads:

2) Would you change jobs / interview while pregnant?

Both of these questions come up almost on a daily basis, we should have a centralized thread to help each other out. :)
