It's basically the title, a couple of months ago she would sleep from 20h to 2am or 3am in her bed, would wake up screaming and crying hard and me or my partner would bring her to our bed.

Problem is that we didn't solve this, and yesterday she did not wanted to sleep even 2h in her bed! She cried, and cried and almost climbed the gate in her bedroom and we just gave up and she went to our bed extremely early.

So I can barely sleep anything at night, I feel uncomfortable with my belly and then I have a toddler that loves to pinch me.

It breakes my heart to let her cry, BUT I also don't want to disturb the neighbors.

What would you do?

Would love helpful tips.

Edit:

Thank you everyone for reassuring it's pretty normal and for me not to worry.

Also thank you all that showed me good websites for me to get more information.

You helped this silly pregnant lady over here.

Original post:

Sorry but this is my second pregnancy but first one in the UK.

My first baby I had in Portugal ( she was a high risk pregnancy) and every time I went to the doctor for my routine appointment he would look down at my bits. Always very professional and always very polite. I talked to other women and they said that's pretty usual stuff.

Now the funny thing is that this as been the opposite her in the UK!

Not even once a doctor as looked at me, they barely touch me, it just feels so strange...

Also every time I want to talk about the fact I didn't produced milk and NO WOMEN in my family produced milk and I want help to understand the British formulas they basically shut down and say "Let's talk at 36 weeks"

I was expecting it because of this sub, but it still baffles me...

I'm also a life stressed about eh giving birth part... In Portugal they only do cesarean in extreme cases here the doctor already asked if I wanted it (?!?!) I said no, unless it was needed.

Sorry if this sounds like a rant.

I'm still enjoying how nice the doctors are, just a bit weirded out about certifien aspects.

I'm planning on the following :

- Nice broth with the turkey wings and beef bone. -> So soup, maybe broth for ramen and the meat for sandwiches. +/- 4 meals for 2 adults and a child.

- Bacalhau á Gomes de Sá with the frozen with fish, potatoes, leek. I can make enough for a meal for 3 and freeze another portion for later. So +/- 2 meals for us.

- stuffed cabbage with rice and minced meat. Don't know how many rolls I'm making, depending on the cabbages I bought. At least 1 meal for all of us.

- Depending on the minced meat leftover from the cabbage rolls I'm making Bolognese sauce ( I'm adding carrots and mushrooms) At least another meal for all of us.

- Hot and sweet Stew with the chicken drumsticks and carrots. 2 meals for us.

I have lots of fruit at home, so I just got some pregnancy cravings and tomorrow I need to buy bread for sandwiches.

What do you guys think? Any other ideas?
