Newly Pregannt Two Questions... Any Help? Posted: 08-18-04 08:00am
Hello there i'm 18 years old and 10 weeks
pregnant... I have a good doctor and all
the whole nine yards... Ive gotten
"doctor responses" but heres my two
questions...
1) I dont sleep at all I mean like at
all... Its 5:56 am right now andi'm wide
awake during the day i'll be exausted but
naw only fall asleep for 30 minutes.... I
heard if I dont sleep the baby doesnt
sleep... Should I be worried...?
2) I got disagnosed with a small case of
cervical cancer but in this form they dont
begin biaopsis (sp?) until 6 month
afterwards which will be in jan (i'll be 7
mo. Preg.) and they said it can cause
miscarriage... I'm freaked... I already
am in love with my child at 10 weeks!
Anyone ever been in this situation...?

Have you talked to your doctor about this,
I have been pregnant 3 times, and with
each and everyone, as I got further along
I found it more difficult to sleep, at the
end I got at the most 4 or 5 hours a
night. Alot of women experience that, but
if you are worried talk to you doctor
about it he/she could maybe prescribe
something to you, or give some helpful
advice about your conditon.
Good luck!

Hi jessamyn, i'm erin. I'm 21 weeks
pregnant with my first child and i'm
having difficulty sleeping too. I lay
down at about 10pm, fall asleep at about 2
am, sleep lightly, waking up often until
the sun comes up, and then sleep very very
hard for an hour or so until its time to
get up. I don't have any experience with
cervical cancer, so I can't comment on
that portion of your problem.

Hi there,
I know what you are going through. I
have had four children, and with everyone
I could not sleep the first three months!
After the three month mark, my husband
couldn't get me out of bed-ha! Just give
it a little time you may do the same
thing, and if so you are almost there.
As for the cancer thing, you need to
really ask a lot of questions at your
doctor visits, if they can't/ won't test
till 7 months then maybe they can wait
just a few more, and test at delivery.
Hope everything goes well.
Wendy

Hey Hun... Posted: 08-19-04 21:32pm
I know exactly what your going threw!!!!
I normally can't sleep that well myself,
either bad dream's or I just can't get
comfy or just not tired. I started
putting myself on a schedule and it seemed
to help, I will make sure that I am up no
later than 9am, once I got used to that I
started sleeping better at night, I have
avoided long nap's during the day. But I
know every woman is different, and thing's
vary, I also started drinking "alot" of
milk about an 3-4h hour's before bed, it
seemed to help me.
As far as the biopsy I had one done last
week actually, which has me freaking out
"big" time, I am only 16week's and now I
have read in several places that tampering
with the cervix is not good while
pregnant, they clipped stuff and it scared
me. Mine was also considered cervical
cancer, they called yesterday and said
they want to do "another" biopsy at
28week's, I don't think I am going to let
them:(.....I know what your going threw
and it's so frustrating sometimes but im
like you, I "love" my little one. I am
already ready to kill anyone that messes
with him..Lol...And he aint even here
yet..Lol

Are you sure its cancer?
There's no such thing as a small case of
cancer
as for leaving it 6 months that is
ridiculous, all cancers should be treated
as soon as possible to prevent the risk of
it spreading and the sooner treated the
higher the recovery rate.
Go bck and check with your health care
provider and ask them lots of questions
and refuse to leave until you have the
answers you want and are happy.
