I think it has finaly happend, i have gone loopy

For the past 2 weeks i have had baby dreams every night. That is once i can finaly get to sleep because it is taking me ages to drift off and then im waking up around 3 and cant get to sleep.



Why cant life be simple?

I think you have what quite a few of us have in this section, broodymadness. Its very hard and painful even. I don't know exactly how long you have to wait, but if you carry on like this you could even get ill. I saw your other thread in GS about what can you do to help pass the time, hobby or suchlike. Why don't you unite your WTT with your hobby. You said before you wanted to lose some weight before TTC. Why not take up swimming or walking. If you need to do something at home because of funny hours, try a dvd of pilates, or aerobics. I have a wiifit and thats great fun. Outdoor exercise is great, and walking is easy to fit in at any time, you could get a pedometer and set yourself goals of doing so many steps a week.

I do know how you feel as I often feel I am going to go loopy on the subject myself, its really hard when we want something now, something that is natural and normal as having a baby with the person we love. That's why I think there is nothing better than positive action. You might think that being fitter won't help as its more your OH decision about not TTC now, but the more you do the better position you are in and the more you will feel in control. Take care X

I have an idea how you are feeling because the 6 months I was ttc my first was sooooo stressfull and literally all I could think about was ovulation dates and peeing on sticks.

If you want a fun exercise video try Carman Electra's Aerobic Striptease. Brill fun, gets you fit and when it comes to doing the baby-dance OH will be super grateful!

GO TEAM BROODY MADNESS!!!

Awww hunny its ok I always dream about being pregnant I even dream about peeing on a stick

Recently tho I seem to be dreaming about people at work (it is a different person every night) its become a bit of a fun game at my office, who will I dream about tonight?

You're definitely not alone on the dreaming thing! The other night, I dreamt that OH finally cracked on the waiting, and we had a baby... but it could talk and kept telling us that he needed his bum changing, he wanted his bottle etc. In the dream, we were not best chuffed with this, and told the baby that if he could talk, he could damn well feed himself! My mum was in the dream at this point, and to this she replied, (very genuinely and not sarcastically!) "Wow, you two are taking to parenting soooo well!"

It was rather odd!

lol... wish Isla could tell me just what she wanted!

hunni yep your loopy lol......only joking.
You going through a really broody patch at the mo.
I think i am lucky that my minds been occupied with sorting some wedding things lately...but the thought it still there at the back of my mind

I am slowly going crazy 1-2-3-4-5-6 switch crazy going slowly am I 6-5-4-3-2-1 switch

Yeah I know waitings hard, but at least they are happy dreams, take some warm milk with honey before you go to sleep it might help you sleep through the night.

I'm sure it won't be long now. Hang in there.

My problem is calm i have no idea how long i have to wait.

In many ways, I am like you, because I can't put a ticker that says in 2 weeks or 2 years I will be TTC, its all a bit uncertain until things fall into place.

Its bloody hard, and its "easy" to give advice like I have given, but so hard to follow it (I am trying to follow my own good advice at the moment, but as I have said its difficult). Its easy to say: think of something else, fill your time, but its a different story to actually do it. Hope that we all find the best way to ride our journeys towards TTC the best we can (and hopefully not go broody mad in the meantime).
