Log in to share your thoughts Re: I'm newly pregnant and having a hard time sleeping at night. What can I do? Normal hormonal changes often heighten an expecting mother's senses, making her more aware of her surroundings -- during the day and night. If you're feeling restless at night, focusing on your physical sleeping space can help improve the quality and quantity of your sleep. The recommendations below were actually created for the young children we work with, but we've found they also come in handy for new moms:Room-darkening curtains:Think about how well you sleep at a nice hotel. It's those thick curtains that create a wonderful sleep cave. A good way to determine if your room is dark enough is to shut off the lights and stand in the room for a few moments. After your eyes adjust, the room should be just light enough that you can barely see the outline of your hand. In an urban environment, this level of darkness is hard to achieve with blinds alone, so we recommend installing blackout liners or heavy drapes. Not ready to make the investment in new window coverings? Try this temporary solution: Tape up black garbage bags in your windows using painter's tape. More permanent shades may be a worthwhile investment if you notice a difference in your sleep that night. Temperature:Most people sleep in bedrooms that are much too warm. This makes it difficult for your bodily functions to slow down and keep you in a restful state. The ideal temperature for sleeping is 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Invest in an indoor room thermometer to see how your room truly measures up. Then make whatever changes you can to achieve the ideal sleeping temperature. If you're prone to hot flashes during pregnancy, this ideal sleeping temperature will feel fantastic.White noise:White noise is really the must-have ingredient for uninterrupted sleep. We recommend purchasing or borrowing an actual white noise machine rather than using radio static or a bathroom fan. These machines generally cost under $30 and are highly effective and easily portable. But, in a pinch, a loud table fan would work too. White noise is wonderful because it helps cancel out noises that can rouse you out of lighter stages of sleep. It may take a night or two to get used to white noise in your bedroom, but eliminating external noises (ambulance, snoring partner, furnace kicking in) will go a long way in helping you sleep more soundly during your pregnancy.Downtime:Another overlooked element of good sleep is adding wind-down time to the end of each day. You wouldn't put a baby in front of a television right before bedtime, so don't do it to yourself either. If you're having difficulty sleeping, put a stake in the ground and declare that the last hour before bedtime is reserved only for calming and nonstimulating activities. Take a bath, read a book, or write in your pregnancy journal -- you'll be thankful you made time for these things once the baby arrives!Postbaby tip:The first three hours of sleep are when we're in our deepest, most restorative sleep. If you can ensure this time isn't interrupted, you'll feel much more well rested in the morning. This is especially helpful to know during those first few months home with a new baby when they need around-the-clock care. If new moms can find ways to protect their first three hours of sleep each night (e.g., have Dad do the 10 p.m. feeding), they'll have much more energy during the day and be able to enjoy their adorable newborns even more! Conner Herman and Kira Ryan, cofounders of Dream Team Baby re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? This is very helpful. I am 7 wks pregnant and have been waking up in the middle of the night (2:30am) for no particular reason, then have a hard time getting myself back to sleep mode for the past 2 weeks. Before pregnancy, nothing would interrupt my 8 hours sleep. floridabride07 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I experienced the same thing early on in my pregnancy whereas normally I would never wake up. I am now 17 weeks and it has gotten better for me. It improved after the 1st trimester. Good luck! alw0602 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? i use pillows IDONEMYJOB | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? i wake up @ 3am and have a hard time falling back to sleep and i am having terrible dreams...i hope this goes away soon i'm 7 weeks pregnant. jerseygrl17 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I find that when I am waking up too early it's usually because I am hungry so I get up and eat a bowl of cereal then I can go back to bed and sleep for a few more hours. e_anna07 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I am only 6 weeks but also having trouble staying asleep. I'm a light sleeper anyway, and it is twice as bad right now. I'm up 2-3 times a night, and my dreams are much more vivid (and sometimes scary). Lucky for DH, he sleeps like a rock, so I don't bother him much... katiepavo | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I know I am constantly tossing and turning, I am 5 weeks pregnant, I am a stomach sleeper and i get nervous when I start cramping when Im trying to sleep. Haven't slept through the night since I found out. It could be excitement lmhgator | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I'm just 5 weeks pregnant and actually just recently found out I was pregnant (although I was having symptoms for a couple weeks prior), but I find that I can't fall alseep because my mind is constantly on the baby and the next 8 months. I've also had some pretty significant gas pressure so those in combination are really making it difficult to fall asleep. Also, my husband gets up at 3am for his job and I always wake up to the alarm and then I have a second round of trying to fall asleep. Any suggestions? MrsKueffer | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? Im 6 weeks pregnant and have known i was pregnant since a week before my missed period. Just this week things have gotten worse. I used to feel GREAT! Until this week. I can't sleep. I toss and turn, and when I do fall asleep its not good sleep like usual. I recently lost my father also which is added stress. Any ideas on how to sleep better..?? | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I agree! I am 9 weeks pregnant and I try to go to bed early to get enough sleep, and it turns out pointless because I wake up at 2 or 3 AM and can't fall back asleep for hours! Help! Should i just go to bed later? meredith.helmick | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I'm glad i'm not alone. Ive been waking up at 2.30 everynight for a week now,for no particular reason. Its been driving me mad. I am 5 weeks pregnant jellybean81 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? i am 5 weeks and i dont realize i am waking up at night by my husband tells me i toss and turn. also, my hips are killing me. i love to sleep on my side but it hurts so bad. anybody else having issues with that? Laura+Taylor | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? SO glad to hear that I am not the only one out there with this problem. I have always had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. But ever since I found out I am pregnant (almost 7weeks along) my sleeping pattern has changed dramatically. I am super sleepy around 9-10pm, when my usual bedtime was 1-1:30am! I have no problem going to sleep its staying that way that is driving me nuts! All this week I have been up at 5am! Today it was at 3:30am...I hope this goes away soon as I have a stessful job and really need to rest. NYNewbieMom | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? Hmm... I didn't think I was far enough along for this to be screwing with my sleep. I thought it was more about my busy mind than anything. But I, too, am 7 weeks, and the last three weeks have been hell on earth trying to sleep. I'm normally ready to pass out about 8:30pm but havea hard time falling asleep, and then I'm always awake around midnight and again between 2am and 4am. And then I normally can't go back to sleep at all. If I do start dozing, it's right before I have to get up for work or my step-daughter wakes me up. Before, I was the best and deepest sleeper around. Now... I'm ready for a nap by 10am because I'm not getting enough sleep at night. I hope it gets better. ambrvan | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? Hey ladies, well I taught for a while I was going to bed too early, but I'm so happy I'm not alone in all of this. My boyfriend lives with his mom and I live with mines too, about 12am to 2:30am I up with so much energy and not a single sleep in my eyes, the bad thing is that I have to rise at 5am to prepare myself for work when I get there I'm now totally ready for a good nap. darky01 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I have no problems sleeping. I go to bed at 8PM every night and am still exhausted in the morning. The only time I get up is when I have to pee which is a new development since I got pg. I never got up in the night before. jkfranklin | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I am 8 weeks pregnant and I can still stay up until 10 pm at night, but I wake up around 5:30 every morning. The whole day I just want to sleep! I am so tired all the time, but when I try to go to bed early, I just lie there. Ask my husband and he usually can't get me out of bed before 9 or 10 on the weekends, this is just weird and kind of frustrating! MysticMary | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I am 9 weeks prenant and this is my second child. All I wanted to do when I was pregnant the 1st time was sleep like 14 hours a day, now I can't sleep sound at all and I'm up sometimes at 11 pm and alot of the times at 2:30 am mostly to pee but I have to get up at 4:45 am for work so hopefully this won't last long . dwestman | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I am 8 weeks pregnant, and I have been having problems sleeping. I have already tried the pillows and heating pad. Does anyone have any other suggestions? NewMommy2010 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? im so glad im am not the only one with this issue. for some strange reason i wake up in the early morning (3-4am) and have a real hard time falling asleep again. by the time i manage to get comfortable enough to sleep i have to get up for work. any suggestions on getting better sleep..? email@example.com | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I kerr210 | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I am having problems sleeping too. I cannot sleep on my side cause it hurts my hips. I recently purchased a temperpedic bed in hopes that this will help. I have tried pillows and all sorts of stuff. Nothing works! I used to be a great sleeper! Loved sleeping! Now I dread bedtime because I cannot sleep. Pair this up with nausea at night and not being able to eat during the day because of nausea and I am one miserable pregnant woman right now! I am not even on week 7 yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really worried and wondering how I am going to survive! LReyeros | re: Q: Sleep solutions while PG? I am 9 weeks and I usually go to sleep at midnight because it's difficult to fall asleep, then I wake up at around 4 and can't fall asleep for an hour or two. My fiance is a tow truck driver so he's on call 5 nights a week. I used to wake up every time he got a call, now I don't even hear half of them. I don't want to get up until 9 or 10 and then I'm tired all day, I can't eat a whole lot because most of the food I'm used to eating makes me sick now. I'm also a Stay at home mom and take care of a 6 and 3 year old. I am a side and stomach sleeper and no matter what way I try to lay it's uncomfortable. Plus I can't breathe due to a sinus infection or bronchitis the doctor didn't specify, lucky me! pinkpixie11303 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I was having a hard time with this as well. I went to my doctor about my really bad morning sickness, so he told me to get Unisom to help when I wake up. But it also helped me sleep! I would have thought a "sleep aid" is a BIG no-no while pregnant, but even after talking to the pharmacist, they say it's totally fine. So if it gets super bad, I would recommend asking your doctor about that. Good luck :) Janae2317 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Well I wasn't having any trouble sleeping and was actually sleeping like 12-18 hours a day untill now. At 11 weeks I suddenly can't fall asleep and when I finally do fall asleep the slightest noise wakes me up and then I have to try to get back to sleep, which takes about 3 hours. britanie | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I know everyone is different, but I also had trouble sleeping during the first trimester, waking up with stomach pains and was just uncomfortable the whole night. But for me, when I got into the 2nd trimester, I was able to sleep through the night and have never slept better, I am always still tired, but at least I am not up hours and resless anymore. gm.coffee | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? The white noise really does help. Rather its the exhaust fan in the bathroom if you have a bathroom connected to your bedroom, a desk fan, a white noise machine - which you can purchase at bed, bath, and beyond, or an air purifier. Try it out with your exhaust fan in the bathroom - thought some exhaust fans can be loud and you may want to try closing the bathroom door or leaving it cracked rather than wide open. rokeywedding | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I had the same problem at the beginning of my pregnancy. I would always wake up around 2:30. I'm not 34 weeks pregnant and wake up even more during the night. Last night I woke up every hour and had issues falling back asleep, and I was exausted when I went to bed. All the little tips to help we already do because my husband HAS to have a fan on and we both love the room colder. There seems to be no hope. DuckyBear | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am so glad again to know that the things I am experiencing are normal! I'm in my 5th week of pregnancy. I go to bed early because I am sleepy but I toss and turn and can't get comfortable. My mind races (partly because I'm excited I think) and my heart is beating faster. Once I finally do fall asleep I wake up ever few hours - last night it was 2am, 4am (to go to the bathroom) and 6:30am! My husband used to have to drag me out of bed in the morning but despite my bad night sleep I am getting up before him. Then... I crash during the day. Napping at least once i the afternoon and then wanting another one before supper. I was told I would be tired but I didn't know I would also not be able to sleep! I have also been getting occasional cramping that has woken me up at night. No bleeding though so I was told not to worry, it's normal. mrs.hau | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I too just found out i was pregnant... my husband just got home from afghanistan a month ago so im pleased as PEACH.. to find out we are haven our first kid after two tours of deployments.. and almost 3 years apart because of them... I couldnt beleive it i thought i had the flu.. BUt i have been un able to sleep.. I lay in bed .. and toss and turn Un able to sleep ... i might get possibly and hour or two.. if that and then stare again ... it sucks... i hope this goes away .. so i can get more sleep.... tyandbritt0525 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I had the same issues with trying to stay asleep. I seem to wake up easily and have difficulties getting back to sleep because my husband is a snorer. I have found that the "snoogle" pillow is a huge help! Amzy | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Yup. Four weeks and not sleeping, at least not for more than an hour or two at a time. I can't nap either. I have read that cutting out caffeine can cause sleeplessness too. It's from your nervous system readjusting and it gets better after a week or two. I cut out caffeine immediately when I found out I was pregnant. I'm hoping that's at least part of the reason and I'll get some sleep soon! HelloBaby21 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? 38 weeks pregnant and can't sleep through the night anymore. Uncomfortable, hot, anxious, restless, and worrisome. Woke up at 2 am and could not go to sleep again for the life of me, even though I will be at work late this evening and have a long drive home. Got lots of chores done by 9am, but I know by 2pm I will be dragging at work. I need a solution for a racing mind and always having to sleep on my side! This is the point where pregnancy is boring and you're just ready to be done with it and have your little baby with you. cjderiese | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Im glad to see that i am not the only one have trouble sleeping. Im 8wks along and this will be my first baby. Im having trouble falling and staying asleep. I dont know if its from the weirded hrs that i have been working or the fact that it was this time last yr that i had a miscarriage. I have cut out all the caffeine, sweets and any other thing that might be a bad thing for the baby and im not sure if that has anything to do with me not sleeping. Any ideas i would love to hear them. SassyCountyGirl | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and my son will kick literally all night, if my fiance is not sleeping next to me. And when he is sleeping in bed with me I have to be spooning him, with a pillow between my legs, one under my belly, back and head. He enjoys being the little spoon! Jurban30 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? hi, im 16wks pregnant and still cant sleep very well, i have been given piriton by my dr as my body is so itchy, i have the window open but i still toss and turn, i can go to bed at 11pm and need a wee at 12pm and then every hour after that, i am getting used to not having much sleep now and i know its all worth it in the end, i try to rest for a couple of hours at a weekend just to relax. laralambert | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I sure thought that it was too early for me to be having sleep issues since I'm only 4 wks on my 1st pregnancy, but i guess not! I thought it was because I was thinking about the future. I have known I'm pg since 3wk3d and I have been waking up around 12-1 am and it takes forever to fall back asleep only for DH's alarm to go off at 4:30 am. I might as well get up, but I'm so tired and leave for work at 7:40! melijake | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am currently 18 weeks as of tomorrow March 9th 2011 I will be 19 weeks pregnant. I went to Motherhood Maternity at our local mall and bought Snoozer Body Pillows by Dream Weaver. WOW! I had the most restful sleep ever!! My husband even noticed that last night I was sleeping so restful. It is a great product. Well worth the money!! You can probably find Snoozer body pillows online too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT BODY PILLOW!!!! PoeticChick | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? same thing , having trouble sleeping, keep waking in the am... Ludy84 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 28 weeks prego and I've already followed all of these "tips" but that's not what's disrupting my sleep. Having to sleep on my side makes sleeping impossible! I bought a Snoogle Body Pillow and that worked wonders for about a week but now I'm back to square one. I've actually developed a knot under my left shoulder blade from sleeping on my side. I thought I had experienced back pain before but wow, the pain is excruciating. Any time I sit in a chair for more than 30 mins that knot starts acting up and changing my position doesn't make it any better. Now the knot starts acting up at night when I'm lying down. I've heard the only way to get rid of a knot is to get a massage every week or else the knot gets larger and even more painful. Any one else develop knots yet? RachyD | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 10 weeks pregnant but have known since I was4 weeks along. Every morning I find myself up at 4-5 am which makes it impossible to sleep in on off days :( Normally I find myself emptying my bladder and then i'm back to sleep though. teamtaylor03202010 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 27-weeks along and am having the same problem as "RachyD" with knots in the neck and shoulder areas. Fortunately for me, my husband has been amazingly supportive and has will give me a 15-20 minute upper body massage before I go to sleep most nights. I've also tried making a nest of pillows in the bed so that I can sleep on my belly again, and have my belly rest in the gap in the centre of the pillows. This is amazing for falling asleep and giving my lower back and shoulders a break, but about half of the time I wake up with a sore neck (I never used to and I ALWAYS slept on my stomach). If anyone else has suggestions for more comfortable sleeping positions, I would LOVE to hear them. raynathompson | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I also use a body pillow and many other pillows but still cant sleep. And I have a white noise machine... and a snoring husband :( either he snores more now or I'm just always awake to hear it. So frustrating! I haven't slept through the night since I've been 15 weeks preg. I'm now 32 weeks. I'm a walking zombie :( I would seriously do ANYTHING to sleep 8 straight hours!!!!!!!!!!! mdesigns4u | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am 11 weeks and was not sleeping well at all from 6 weeks through 10 weeks. Then I put a fan in my room and I am sleeping much better. I think it is the white noise and having are circulating around me. My husband says I am "hotter" to sleep with now (higher body temp) then before I was pregnant so I think I was getting too hot before the fan. Atowngirl | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I had a terrible time trying to sleep during first trimester. At first it was I was obsessed with the chance of miscarrying (not so much that I was scared of miscarrying, but that I kept anticipating it). Then it became an issue of the weather changing and thus night sweats. Now that my body (and the weather) have adjusted, I sleep pretty well through the night sweats and, while I do continue to anticipate things for no reason, my sleep is much more restful now that I am physically too drained to care. amalinawolff | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 32 weeks now, during the first trimester I could never stay asleep. I'd fall asleep around 9 or 10, but wake up around 2am every day and be up until 4 or 5. I would have to go down on the couch and watch TV until I fell asleep. And our neighbors dog would be outside at night barking ALL NIGHT. I would never hurt an animal but I seriously contemplated shooting it. During the 2nd trimester, I slept the best. Now I wake up every 2 hours to pee, and I toss and turn all night. I did invest in a pregnancy pillow, and it worked really well during the 2nd trimester, but I don't think it's doing the trick anymore. I'd kill for a full 8 hours!! And either my husband or the dog is snoring which wakes me up. bari516 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? 36 weeks here...and I only felt relief for a few weeks in the second trimester...then it was back to the all night restroom visits, eating tums for heartburn, tossing and turning because I can't get comfy even with a million pillows. Oh and now my brain is in Mama mode and any little sound wakes me from the deepest sleep when I finally get there. And I know that babies are supposed to be a little less active in the last month....but not my little one....she is still going strong with kicks and punches....but I welcome this...lets me know she is still hanging in there :) Good Luck ladies!!! Tall Mommee | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I slept fine up until I was 18 weeks along, now I'm 20 weeks. Before I was pregnant I always had to have a very dark room and a fan for noise, now I have a very dark room, 3 fans not only for noise, but to help stay cool, and I still just can not sleep! I am normally a stomach sleeper, but it hurts to sleep on my stomach now. I try to sleep on my left side (which is also somewhat normal for me) but that makes my arms go to sleep, and I can't stand sleeping on my back. I have a body pillow, and 3 other pillows to try and be more comfortable, but it still doesn't help. Oddly enough I'm more comfortable on the floor with a pillow between my knees and under my head than in my bed. Heck, I even sleep better on the couch, but I have a roomate and hate sleeping where he can just walk by. I just bought a new bed, memory foam, I can't wait until it gets here, I'm hoping it will really help. tamz8705 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I use 2 different body pillows, one straight, one shaped like a C, and a little wedge pillow for my belly. I also have a fan that blows directly on me because I have such bad night sweats. I didn't sleep well in the first trimester because I had to get up and pee every 2-3hrs, 2nd trimester I slept GREAT, now I'm almost 29 weeks and as my tummy has grown, it is getting harder and harder. The fan and all the body pillows do help. My husband and I also upgraded to a king, instead of a queen, that made a huge difference for me too, just to have more room! I've given up on a good night's sleep! I try to nap a lot too when I can. lisav95 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 27 weeks and have been having trouble sleeping since the first trimester. I have a hard time getting comfortable enough to fall asleep, then I wake up at least once to pee, but the worst problem that I have is that my hips ache terribly! I've always been a side sleeper, so I thought I wouldn't have any problems sleeping through the night on my left side, but now I have to alternate sides. When one side starts to ache I roll over to the other until that side hurts too much... I'm back and forth all night. I also find myself waking up lying flat on my back, which sucks because I know I'm not supposed to sleep in that position, but I just end up there. The lack of sleep is turning me into a zombie at work... I hope I can survive another three months! I have been turning the temp down in the house at night, which helps reduce the middle of the night hot flashes, and I sleep with a body pillow - which is a life saver - but overall I'm finding it incredibly uncomfortable to sleep at night. My midwife suggested that I start taking a calcium supplement to relieve some of the aching, but so far it hasn't made any difference. She also suggested magnesium just before bed to relax my muscles, but that hasn't helped either. So I hear ya girls! Sedonia2011 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I have terrible dreams and am not sleeping well either, I am just about 6 weeks and the dreams are crazy. My friends say this is normal and will pass. I sure hope sp. hwolter1980 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I struggled with all the same things. I found these to help: Temp at night goes down to 66. A familiar movie comes on as soon as I realize I'm struggling to go back to sleep. Big paper next to bed for writing thoughts in the dark. Take a quick hot shower-the combo of hot shower/cold air (66 degrees) then cuddling back up in the bed does the trick on the worst of nights! marriednlovinit87 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I found that setting a pile of around 3-4 pillows under my back, neck and head put me in "sitting position". But, I do not sleep on my back, I sleep on my sides and I do not know why but that higher position is so comfortable and put me to sleep immediately. martumoujan | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Hey ladies! I too struggled with sleep during my first trimester. Trust me, it will probably get better. I used to wake up three times a night for no reason, but now I wake up once to use the bathroom. The most effective thing I did was make sure it was completely dark and totally silent when I fell asleep, this helped a lot. Good luck! Emmy Lou | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Ladies, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but i was a dead to the world sleeper. From the begining i've had trouble sleeping, waking 4-5 times a night and having trouble going to sleep again. Finally in my 27th week i'm to waking 2-3 times but still trouble getting to sleep. Hopefully this will get better. Good luck reneelow | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? SO DURING THE FIRST TRIMESTER ISN'T IT A GIVEN THAT YOU ARE WIPED OUT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH SLEEP I GOT I STILL WAS EXHAUSTED. I AM 25 WEEKS NOW AND AM STARTING TO NOT GET VERY DEEP SLEEP AT NIGHT, LIKE I CAN HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON OR IF MY HUSBAND IS UP AND ASKS ME SOMETHING I WILL WAKE UP AND RESPOND, ONE THING MY OB RECOMMENDED WAS UNISOM I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT SINCE MY FIRST TRIMESTER FOR NAUSEA BUT IT ALSO DOES WONDERS FOR A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP. AND IS SAFE FOR BABY Shaelemae | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? So happy I'm not the only one. Although I wish we were all sleeping better! I thought that at eleven weeks- it was too early for lack of sleep but as I've read most of you are less than that & are having difficulties too! Do any of you first trimester ladies use body pillows already?! JokersGirl627 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm almost 36 weeks and my biggest problem with sleeping has been hip and back pain. There are a couple of things that have helped me. Because I have to sleep on my side which really hurts my hips, I put a pillow or folded up blanket under my hip and torso. It cushions my hip more and I sleep with a pillow between my knees. The other thing that has helped me so much is I got a birthing ball, which is an exercise ball. I sit on it with my legs open and rotate my hips in a circle. It feels so good and really helps with hip and back pain! It's also great for helping with hip and back pain when you're in labor too! Hoeydancer | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 27 weeks pregnant and having similar problems, waking up early in the a.m. (5:00 or so) and I can't get back to sleep. As exhausted as I am - and I REALLY just want to sit my butt on the couch after work at night! - I have found that getting some exercise is the key to helping me stay asleep through the nights. On days where I take a mile or so walk with my husband, I sleep great! melissa0726 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am 20 weeks and still wake up about 4am and can't go back to sleep. Cooling the room helps but I think I am freezing out my husband.... An eye mask helps too. tssdmr | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 14 weeks and I find that continuing to work out and be active has REALLY helped. I sleep through the night (except the one time per night I get up to pee since I drink so much water) and I have energy throughout the day - even during the dreaded first trimester I wasn't as tired as some of my friends were. RebeccaDaniels | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? All 5 tips above are great. I have been using all of those methods for the past 2 years and I sleep better than ever. Also, another good tip is to use earplugs. This way if your husband gets up to use the bathroom, it wont startle you. I live downtown where there are sirens throughout the night and such, so earplugs help with urban settings as well. Jaclyn DiNardo | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Another good method to sleep during pregnancy is to stay very active. Walking 1-2 hours a day at a swift pace will definitely help. Jaclyn DiNardo | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am 2 days short of 35 weeks pregnant and I can tell ya there is not much you can do more than what the suggest. I am getting up like 20 times threw the night to go to the bathroom or even just to flop over. Its very hard to get comfortable. I know the best sleep is in our basement where the temp is slightly cold where i can have a bunch of pillows surrounding me and a blanket and not get hot. Lots and lots of pillows plus a fan for the sound and the air is my main recommendation for those newly pregnant!!! Good luck in the weeks to come. korvis1988 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am 32 weeks a long with my second child and I'm sorry to say ladies that I'm still having some issues sleeping. If you are having terrible dreams they will eventually go away. Everyone is different and with that said my dreams lasted about 4 months. As far as getting up 4-5 times a night it will happen. I find that sleeping with a pillow between my legs is helpful as well as running the fan and having a window open. Also drinking some tea and like the article says, reading before bed has been helpful. I also keep a glass of water beside my bed because I wake up feeling thirsty and with it right there I don't have to go far to get it. Hope everyone gets some rest. mattkimwood | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am 14 weeks and find putting a pillow in between my knees is much more comfortable especially with my growing belly.. elaine15 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 21 weeks and I've been waking up in the middle of the night at the same time too! Kinda funny to here that I'm not the only one:) This started early on in my pregnancy and has continued throughout. I feel it's a way to get me use to waking with the baby when he is born. Thank you Mother Nature! julieeharris | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? i am only 15 weeks, but already get up 3-4 times on average to pee in the night. it's awful. i haven't slept through the night since i found out i was pregnant - it started with 1-2 times/night and has been as many as 6-8 yikes! i can only imagine when i am substantially bigger. also 68 degrees is a glorious thing! love it! Marymak07 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? hey. I'm 4 wks preggo. I sleep throughout the night. maybe my sleep patterns will change but even before i was P i used to get up @ about 3 in the am to use the bathroom. found out i was preggo the wk after we tried! xcited!!! empressmama | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm not newly pregnant, but I am still having sleeping issues. This is my second pregnancy, and I am 33 weeks along, but I have not been able to fall asleep very easily, I take a shower to wind down, but then it still takes me at least 2 hours to fall asleep, by then it's 2 or 3 in the morning, then I wake up at 4, it takes another half hour to get back to sleep, and then I am up at 6 to get ready for work, if anyone has any useful tips please let me know seeing how I am desperate right now thanks. mrsmoore0708 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 23 weeks pregnant and having a hard time sleeping too. From going to pee 5x a night to the back pain. PrincessAnu | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 18 weeks and was waking 1 or 2 times nightly and then having a challenging time getting back to sleep - Someone suggested supplementing magnesium and I've been sleeping well since littlemsnaughty | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 10 weeks and I was waking up at 1 a.m. every night. My husband bought me a sleeping mask and it's done wonders! Now I'm waking up 3 times instead of 4, but just to pee :-) stephker | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? pinkpixie11303---RIGHT THERE WITH YOU GIRL!!! I am 23 weeks, my hubby gets up at 1am for work and it used to wake me and keep me up. I am a stay at home mom for twin 5 year old boys, and I babysit 5 other kids ranging in age from 4yrs to 1yr, sporadically throughout the week. Now I sleep soundly from 1030pm until 230am, then am awake until 530am, and have to get up at 630am for incoming kiddies. I am a total stomach sleeper, and this time it is really having an effect on me, I cannot seem to get and stay comfy. I wish I had a recliner right now because I caught the cold going around and have a sinus infection, and a touch of bronchitis...not to mention I need root canal, and two extractions...the pregnancy is going fine, but I am proving to have more problems health-wise carrying 1 than I did carrying twins... twinboysmama23 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am 37 1/2 weeks now and really just expect not to be sleeping well- I mean how could you? But, I had probably my best sleep between 20-34 weeks so take advantage! I of course thought my doctor was nuts when she said stop drinking earlier in the day- because I am a huge water drinker- but it really does help to limit fluids in the late evening- 8:00 (or earlier if you can) and then make sure it is dark in the rest of the house so that when you do get up to wander to the bathroom you aren't taking in too much light waking you up even more. As for one other tip- we flipped our mattress about 2 weeks ago and I don't think I realized it at first but I had worn a pretty good dent in the last 35 weeks so flipping has helped with a little more support for the rest of the bod! Good Luck! terenner | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Lots of pillows, a fan, and a nice dark room. Once in a while a couple of Tylenol PM (OB approved) if necessary. lydia molnar | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am just over 10 weeks and CAN'T sleep. I was getting up a few times throughout the night the last few weeks but now the past 4 days or so I have not been able to fall asleep at all. I have used every bit of "white noise" there is (ex.: fan, beach sounds, spa music, television.) Nothing is working and now it is effecting my job. I am a police officer and work 12 hour shifts. I have taken 3 sick days in a row, which is completely out of the ordinary for me. It is really driving me crazy. I have taken maybe a one hour nap in the afternoon if I am lucky. So, I know it's not me being counter productive by sleeping all day. I am at my wits end here and don't know what to do. I see that someone recommended tylenol pm. I will talk to my doc on thursday at my 4 week check-up but wish there was something that would work naturally and sooner. I can handle the nausea, gas pains, using the restroom many times throughout the night, and heartburn but I need to sleep. Please help :( kristinalynn13 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I've been experiencing waking up at around 3am every morning since the end of July, which makes me think I'm farther along than predicted. I've been taking over the counter sleeping pills and Benadryl ever since. It's pretty much the only way I can fall asleep and stay asleep. kimmy2002 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 4 weeks pregnant and am having the same problem! I wake up between 1 and 3 and can't fall asleep afterwards, despite fatigue and headaches during the day. It's been like this for a week and a half but I'm told it gets better in the second trimester. I am going to try white noise, despite hubby's resistance to fans! annegilbert | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I'm 21 weeks pregnant and am having more trouble sleeping in my 2nd trimester than I did in my 1st. I was groggy and tired all the time in my first but I could sleep better at night. Now I have a more energy and no nausea but the trade off is I wake up 4 to 8 times per night now! Don't really have to pee each time but I'm just uncomfortable. Not in pain, except for the occasional pregnancy-related carpal tunnel issues, but just restless and can't get comfortable. I use Ambien (with OB's approval and Class B drug)- quarter to half a pill - most nights but it doesn't do much for the mutliple awakenings - works great to keep me asleep throught those first all-important first 3 hours of sleep though. But I will definitely take this over the 1st trimester exhaustion and nausea! And I will enjoy the sleep I get now because I remember how zombie-like I was with my son the first few weeks of his life! And, at age 40, I know my great sleeping days are long over. Unfortunately, sleep deficit/difficulty sleeping is part of pregnancy/motherhood. But I've learned to pick my battles and appreciate all the wonderful things about pregnancy/motherhood. DaisyMom15 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I had my personal kid around pajamas much of the time. The pair were entirely possible that others to evolve, and additionally he looked positively cheerful. The person likewise was wearing onesies a great deal, nonetheless quite often it absolutely was the two sufferers inside our pajamas, sleeping or possibly watching activity indicates at TELLY. warcraft 3 cheats download jerryms | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am 5 weeks along and I am used to getting up in the night to pee prior to getting pregnant, now it's twice in the night and at 5AM I am wide awake! I do not usually get up until 7. I am roughly getting only 6-7 hours of broken sleep and it worries me that it's not enough. stalback | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I am only 8 weeks and I'm also experiencing knots in my shoulder blades while side sleeping. I've been sleeping on my side my whole life, and we have a memory foam bed! I've decided to buy a wedge since sleeping on my back causes me to snore and stomach sleeping is not an option. So hopefully sleeping on the wedge will keep me elevated enough. Megzy6 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? i am 36 weeks pregnant and go days without sleeping and it is getting pretty frustrating.. i started having panic attacks and losing my breath while sleeping when I was 21-22 weeks pregnant and that didn't get any better but at least i slept throughout the day now sleep is like a once in a while type thing and i still have panic attacks no clue as to why.. i have notified the OB several times but they have done nothing for me and have no answers for me either.. if you get at least 2 hours of sleep cherish it i would do anything for an hour's worth BiABaBYY | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I was like that with my first. Toss and turn, sleep hard, wake up at two, fall asleep lightly, then up at five for work. Love my body pillow. Excellent investment. With this one I've been having bad dreams, so I get up even more. Idk. PetuniaFeatherbottom | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? This is the worst! I can barely manage to get through my work days anymore! Without fail I am up at 4am every morning, toss and turn for hours and then by 6:30 my alarm is going off! I usually am in bed and trying to fall asleep by 10-11pm each night, surround myself with pillows and put calming music on but still cannot get a good, restful sleep. I'm only at 8 weeks, how am I going to manage the rest of the time while still working? No coffee isn't helping either! Kyliedawn | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I woke up every night at 2:55am also. I'm not really sure if I am pregnant. I tried the pregnancy test three times three days before expected period but the results are all negative. It kept frustrating but my body tells different . Is there anyone can help me as well ..... Annalized | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? I also had problems sleeping at night and my husband told me I grind my teeth at night, is it normal? I am pregnant in three months. I bought recently a night guard for teeth grinding and it helps, now I sleep well and don`t wake up several times during the night. amyabel68 | Q&A: Hard time sleeping while pregnant? Sometimes sleep comes quickly, other times not that easily. But the times when i can fall asleep nicely, it's a fact that i will wake up around 3:30 am because of nausea or empty stomach or discomfort feelings on my belly area. And then it's hard to find any comfortable sleeping position. If i'm lucky, i will fall back asleep around 4:30:00-6:00 am. But then again, in workdays my wake-up-call is already at 5:30. So i wake up, look my awful self in the mirror, think that it's just my 8th week and it makes me ask.. Seriously? If this is just the beginning, then how bad it's going to be on the last trimester?! Any tips? Sorry, i don't have. There are rare nights when i have long and peaceful sleep, but in these cases i've been extremely exhausted. I wouldn't want to say go and exhaust yourself until you fall from your feet, lol:) Oneway2Moon | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

FEMA warning for victims of Hurricane Sandy, avoid fraud and verify IDs
For those of us in Connecticut who weren't seriously affected by Hurricane Sandy, it's important to remember that there are hundreds of residents who are still trying to piece their lives back together.
And the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) warns that there may be con artists trying to get their hands on your disaster assistance money and/or personal financial information.
"After a disaster, crooks may pretend to be employed by FEMA or the U.S. Small Business Administration. They may try to obtain personal information such as Social Security and bank account numbers or they may promise to increase your disaster assistance grant for a fee, something a federal employee would never do," FEMA says in statement released today (Jan. 16, 2013).
FEMA offers these consumer safety tips:
- There is never a fee to apply for FEMA assistance or to receive it;
- There are no fees for FEMA or SBA property damage inspections; and
- Government workers never ask for payment to perform their duties.
Asking to see identification is a disaster survivor's best defense against such criminals and scam artists. All authorized federal personnel are required to wear photo IDs at all times.
A FEMA or SBA shirt or jacket is not proof of affiliation with these agencies.
All government- or contractor-issued ID badges should be produced by the bearer without hesitation or reluctance.
Also, a FEMA contract inspector who comes to your home will be able to provide your FEMA registration number.
If private insurance adjusters and local building code inspectors visit your property, they should also be able to provide identification on demand.
Anyone suspecting fraud should call the FEMA Disaster Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721. Complaints may also be made to local authorities or the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection at www.ct.gov/dcp or by calling 800-842-2649 (in the Hartford area, call 860-713-6110).
Contractor fraud can also be a problem after a disaster. Remember these tips before signing a home repair contract:
- Get three written estimates; then check each contractor's credentials and references. Contact the Better Business Bureau or local chamber of commerce to see if there are outstanding complaints against the contractor;
- Obtain a written contract detailing all work to be performed, costs, a projected completion date, and procedures to negotiate changes and settle disputes;
- Any guarantees should be in writing.
Disaster recovery assistance is available without regard to race, color, religion, nationality, sex, age, disability, English proficiency or economic status.
If you or someone you know has been discriminated against, call FEMA toll-free at 800-621-3362. For TTY, call 800-462-7585.
The U.S. Small Business Administration is the federal government's primary source of money for the long-term rebuilding of disaster-damaged private property. SBA helps homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and private, nonprofit organizations fund repairs or rebuilding efforts and covers the cost of replacing lost or disaster-damaged personal property. These disaster loans cover losses not fully compensated by insurance or other recoveries and do not duplicate benefits of other agencies or organizations.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Pros and cons of Shellac nail polish
The slick new polish is the buzz of the manicure industry. Clients at Frenchy's Day Spa in Seattle can't get it on their fingers fast enough.
"The clients who see it, they want it. They come in and get it. They love it." said manager Diana Ahern.
The special formula, called Shellac, brushes on just like regular nail polish. Nails are prepped in the same manner as a basic manicure.
But the polish stays on, chip-free, for weeks. A spokesman for the manufacturer told the Problem Solvers you can leave it on for a month if you want. You only need to change polish when new new growth starts showing, and that's typically after about 14 days.
Shellac is the brain child of a California company called Creative Nail Design, more commonly known as CND. The company says it spent five years perfecting the product. Shellac is frequently described as a hybrid of the popular gel manicure.
With gels, a thick substance is applied to the nail to build up a new surface. The gel is hardened under UV light, then smoothed and sculpted with an electric file before adding polish. Until now, gels have been the "hot new thing" in nail care.
But gels get low marks from many consumers because of the potential nail damage that can result from soaking nails and fingers in strong acetone, and abrasive filing to remove the gel residue.
Shellac offers a more nail-friendly solution by taking gel to the next level -- no sculpting or filing, just thin coats of polish on your natural nail, with a brief time for curing under a UV lamp between every coat. Ahern says the UV is used for 10 seconds after the base coat, and two minutes each between the two coats of color and the top coat.
When the top coat is done, you get a quick shine with a soft cloth and alcohol and you're ready to go.
"Quick, easy, out the door, no one's having to fish for your keys," Ahern said.
But Shellac is not for everyone. Your natural nails and nail beds must be healthy. If they're splitting, peeling or damaged from using acrylic or gel enhancements, experts say you should wait and talk to a licensed, trained nail care professional.
And using Shellac is out altogether if you want to do your nails yourself. The manufacture only sells to licensed professionals.
"The interesting thing about it is it that people cannot do it at home, so we see more clients more often because they come back to have it removed," said Ahern.
A spokeswoman for CND says any Shellac product you see advertised online is being sold illegally, including the special UV lamps. You can't just buy a bottle and take it home. Without the lamp, polish will not properly set.
CND is very specific about removal. The process requires a special wrapping process at the salon using strong acetone. The wrapping isolates the chemical to the nail color and creates body head to help the polish come off easily.
Some consumers report having acetone-soaked cotton placed on their nails with their fingers wrapped in aluminum foil. Ahern says this is not a process that's approved or recommended by CND, and is likely done by someone who is unlicensed, untrained and taking shortcuts. Improper removal can damage your nails and skin.
As for price? Plan on spending as much as twice the price of a basic manicure.
"It ranges in the industry from $30 to $40," said Ahern.
That's $30 to $40 every two weeks. If you just want the polish removed with no reapplication, the removal costs about $5.
CND says any problems with chipping, peeling, or nail damage are typically caused by someone who is not licensed, not properly trained or not following the manufacturer's specific instructions for application and removal. You may also encounter people who claim they're providing a Shellac manicure, but are using a different, "similar" product.
CND's public relation's company acknowledges that it's competitors are already responding with their own versions of long-lasting, chip free polish.
"CND's competitors have already released 'me-too' products, but no one will be able to duplicate Shellac's patent-pending UV3 technology or guarantee the same flawless wear and gentle removal. CND spent 5 years in their state-of-the-art lab perfecting the product for a reason!" said Rachel Cooper of Red-PR.com.
As for concerns about UV exposure, the company insists its UV lamps are low- watt UV bulbs that filter out most of the damaging rays, and have been scientifically tested to be safer than the exposure your hands get from driving in the sun without gloves.
Ahern says when she signed up Frenchy's to get trained to do Shellac manicures in March, there were only four salons or spas in Seattle on the list. As of the first of June, the list is expansive, and growing weekly.

Optima Health Wins First U.S. EPA Award for Asthma Management
Sentara News Home
News Archives
Asthma had Toni Saunders at her wits end. Her 2-year-old son Dahomey had been to the doctor or the emergency room 10 times in little more than a week with persistent asthma attacks. The frequency of their medical visits prompted a call from her provider, Optima Health Plan, and their asthma management program.
"It made me feel good to know somebody else was paying attention," Toni says. Optima arranged for a visit from a
Sentara Home Care
nurse, who did an assessment and made some recommendations for controlling Dahomeys asthma.
"She said to remove some of his stuffed animals," Toni remembers. "He had so many he didn't even miss them. She also said to put an allergy cover on his mattress."
"Between those things and the allergy medicine the doctor prescribed, it had an effect," Toni says. "Then, she called back a while later to see how he was doing, and she's available any time I need to talk with her. Thats a comfort to me," Toni says.
Thanks to the preventive health care offered to Dahomey Saunders and hundreds of asthma patients like him, Optima Health has received a first-ever award for asthma management from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management recognizes Optima's innovative seven-year program to control environmental factors in patients homes that trigger asthma attacks. Children's Mercy Hospital of Kansas City also received an award.
"Asthma symptoms can often be tied to allergies," says Janis Sabol, asthma program coordinator for Optima Health. "Controlling household allergens and optimal use of medications can prevent asthma attacks."
For Toni Saunders, that includes watching pollen levels when Dahomeys seasonal allergies act up, and limiting how much he runs around outdoors.
"Home Care gave me a book about asthma geared for children. We went through it with his twin and the two older kids, so they can help with him, too," Toni says.
Home Health teams identify asthma factors
Optima Health teams with Sentara Home Health Care to make the asthma management program work. Nurses and respiratory therapists visit the homes of high-risk patients to identify environmental factors that aggravate asthma symptoms. Those factors include pet dander, dirty carpets, dust, mold and cockroach infestations. The Home Health team gives advice on how to control those factors, whether its keeping animals out of bedrooms, reducing the use of pesticide sprays, removing old carpets or repairing leaky roofs.
Despite growing knowledge of environmental factors as asthma triggers, a recent national survey by EPA found that less than 30% of asthma patients are taking all the recommended steps to reduce exposure and limit preventable asthma attacks.
"Prevention is the best medicine," says Janis Sabol of Optima. "After a pilot study with 50 high-risk children, Optima concluded it was better for patients, and better for business, to manage asthma rather than just treat the symptoms.
More adults than children have asthma
"Asthma is not just a childrens disease," says George Heuser, M.D., medical director for Optima Health. "Children get most of the attention, but far more adults than children suffer from asthma." Heuser adds, "5,000 Americans die from asthma each year, but 95% of those deaths are preventable."
"We try to prevent asthma symptoms for our most vulnerable patients by controlling the environmental factors that cause them," Heuser adds, "and were delighted that EPA recognized the benefit of our program for patients."
Optima program reduces hospital visits, expense
"About 10,000 of our Optima members have asthma," Janis Sabol says, "but less than 6%, or about 500 patients are at such high risk that they are eligible for our environmental management program." Optima identifies the highest-risk patients by monitoring their frequency of doctor visits and hospitalizations. Data gathered over six-and-a-half years showed a savings to Optima of $300,000 through cost avoidance for emergency department visits and hospital admissions. "On the other hand," Sabol continues, "medication costs increased somewhat, but thats okay, because we managed the disease better and patients spent less time at the doctors office or the hospital."
EPA recognizes Optima for pace-setting program
"The health care community can make significant contributions to the quality of life of millions of people living with asthma by educating patients about the environmental irritants and allergens that can trigger their attacks," says Tom Kelly, U.S. EPA Indoor Environments Division Director. " EPA congratulates Optima Health for their innovative approaches to environmental asthma management and treatment programs."
Asthma Management Tips from EPA
Smoke outside - Second hand smoke is a major asthma trigger.
Control mites - Cover mattresses and pillows with allergy-control zippered covers. Wash bedding weekly in hot water.
Watch ozone levels - If Air Quality Index (AQI) reaches unhealthy levels, limit outdoor activity.
Dust and vacuum regularly - Dust with a damp cloth and vacuum carpets and upholstered furniture.
Control pet dander - Keep pets outside or limit their access to living/sleeping areas.
Control cockroaches - Infestations can trigger asthma attacks. Clean up spills promptly. Remove kitchen garbage from house. Store food in airtight containers.
Limit pesticide sprays - Use baits or traps where possible. Ventilate rooms where spray is used. Stay out of sprayed room for several hours.
Break the mold - Mold and mildew are asthma triggers. Replace moldy ceiling tiles plaster and carpeting. Fix leaky roofs and pipes.
Air it out - Use exhaust fans or open windows when cooking or showering to reduce moisture.
Plan ahead - Write a customized asthma attack response plan with your health care provider that includes known triggers, ways to control them, and best responses to an attack.
Share these tips with day care providers, coaches, teachers, etc.

Zambia safari news – Kalamu Lagoon Camp
Sep 30th, 2011 by janieharmsen
A buffalo calf was rescued by a group of guides at the Luamfwa Lagoon. The small calf was spotted in the mud with its mother looking in quite anxiously. The guides returned to the camp for some rope and to get an extra few hands to help with the rescue operation. The calf was very agitated ad distressed so the team had to tie the tow rope around its neck to heave it from the muddy pool. The calf's mother had initially acted aggressively towards the rescuers but she soon realised that they were there to help and relaxed, watching patiently as the team dragged her baby from the mud. The calf was reunited with its mum and the two of them wandered off to join the rest of the herd which had been looking on from a greater distance.
The Kalamu Lagoon Camp is situated in the Luamfwa Concession in the southern part of the South Luangwa National Park. The camp is small and intimate with just eight luxury en-suite tents with indoor and outdoor showers. The rooms all have private decks with stunning views over the lagoon and the communal swimming pool is the perfect setting for a relaxing sundowner and offers some respite from the afternoon heat.
The South Luangwa National Park covers an area of 9000 square kilometres and has the highest concentrations of wildlife in the region. The vegetation is rich and attracts large numbers of animals including elephants, buffalo, lion, leopard, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, hyena, wild dog as well as unique species like Thornicroft Giraffe and Cookson's wildebeest. Zambia is where walking safaris began and the South Luangwa is one of the best places in Africa to experience one of these amazing safaris. A Zambia safari to Kalamu lagoon Camp combines well with a Botswana safari.

I have a question about the recipe "Jennie's Homemade Manicotti" from Jennifer Perillo. Is there anything useful one can do with the liquid (whey) left over after scooping out the ricotta curds? It seems a shame to waste it.
here is an idea from Lapadia, if you search whey on this site a few things come up ...
For me, I have used it in soup or bread, soaked beans with it, and fed it to my dog.
Cauner, I've never heard of mixing dairy with beans. Do you mean pre-soak the beans in the whey instead of water, or use the whey as cooking liquid and then eat it along with the beans?
I should have been more specific, sorry! I just add a few tablespoons to the water when I soak the beans overnight. And I also remember reading you can water certain houseplants with it but not sure which ones because I don't have any indoors. I need to come up with a few more uses myself, since I have some in the fridge right now and there's only so much I trust my dog to ingest at a time!

Uruguay's boutique wineries
Uruguay is home to a number of boutique wineries located a short drive from the capital, Montevideo. (Alto de la Ballena)
"I love creating new blends, experimenting with grapes and techniques, and taking risks. Any winery today can hire an oenologist and make standard wines. But it's about the process. If I had to make the same wine all the time to the same standard..." said boutique winemaker Pablo Fallabrino, before trailing off and bursting into laughter.
Fallabrino and his wife Mariana own Viñedo de los Vientos, one of a pick of boutique wineries located a short drive from the bright lights and sandy beaches of Uruguay's capital, Montevideo.
In an age of mass production, it is a delight to visit these family-owned wineries. This tiny South American country that lies within the golden 30 to 35 parallels along with viticulture giants Argentina and Chile -- as well as South Africa, New Zealand and Australia -- is an emerging wine country that as well as producing exciting new blends is home to a budding wine route comprised of 15 small wineries.
At Viñedo de los Vientos, Fallabrino and Mariana's home sits amid 15 hectares of green vineyards. Here, they welcome their visitors with open arms, uncorking fabulous wines to pair with seafood empanadas and lamb and beef cuts. Their small winery, comprising a fermentation room, a barrel cellar and a bottling station, is a short walk away along a dirt path. It is Fallabrino's haven. Aided by four staff, he makes high-quality varietals for specialist stores in the US and Europe: unable to mass produce for international supermarkets because of their limited grape harvests, Uruguay's wineries focus on small-scale production of higher-value and higher-quality wines. Fallabrino's specialty is the red tannat wine that is Uruguay's emblematic varietal. Brought from Bordeaux in France in the 1870s, tannat – a bold wine with aromas of black fruits – flourishes better in the ultra-fertile Uruguayan terroir than anywhere else in the world, and Uruguay is its number one producer.
Winemakers here quip that they did not choose tannat, it chose them. Uruguay's climate and geography – its lies on an estuary and faces the Atlantic Ocean – is remarkably similar to Bordeaux's, and the tannic, full-bodied wines it makes are much closer to Bordeaux-style wines than the fruitier, lighter varietals typical of New World winemaking, including Argentina and Chile.
Visiting these boutique winemakers is a joy, the vinicultural equivalent of being shown the chocolate factory by Willy Wonka himself. At Los Vientos, Fallabrino speaks with passion about his latest experiment. He is producing elegant Italian reds to blend with and soften the punch of the Uruguayan totem. Fallabrino's grandfather, also a winemaker, emigrated to Uruguay from Italy's Piedmont region in the 1920s and Fallabrino has dedicated small plots to Piedmont reds nebbiolo and barbera. "The early results are fantastic," he enthused.
Fallabrino's love of experimentation echoes throughout the hillsides of Uruguay's rolling wine country. Gustavo Magariños, head of trade group Wines of Uruguay, puts it down to freedom from the yoke of commercialisation. Winemakers in Uruguay, he explained, have carte-blanche to make the wines they love."Argentine and Chilean wineries are way bigger and more commercialised than wineries in Uruguay and standardise wines in order to reach international sales objectives. In Uruguay, no one is aiming to conquer the world and so winemakers have absolute freedom to develop wines as they please."
This means you can visit several bodegas within close proximity and taste completely different products, each with the unique signature of the winemaker. "It is partly down to differences in terroir, but mostly in winemaking. Tannat has so much body, so many tannins; it's a fantastic wine to play with, to create new blends" he explained.
Therein lies the pleasure of wine travel in this tiny South American country: distinctive wines and intimate, personalised visits that guide you to the heart of the winemaking process. In Uruguay, you are more likely to engage a winery owner in a discussion over a silky tannat than endure a 30-person tasting overseen by a seasonal amateur with a microphone.

Question from Elosia:
Can you give me some ideas on attire for me and my husband for our 25th? We are thinking of a hall in the daytime and renewing our vows. We are thinking of starting it at noon and ending it at 7 pm.
I was also thinking of getting my family (brothers, sisters, nephews, neices and in-laws) corsages and boutonnieres.
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Eloisa. From your other questions, I know you are planning an informal or casual reception for your 25th Anniversary.
You and your husband have a few choices for the renewal of your wedding vows. You could wear what you wore at your wedding—full wedding gown, tuxedo, etc. This is not practical for some people as they pass on their wedding dress to daughters, etc. or have other reasons for not doing their wedding attire. The next option would be a formal gown, and tuxedo or suit for your husband. Since you seem to be leaning towards an informal event, I would suggest you wear a nice dress, and your husband a suit.
If you are longing for something beautiful and special, I would suggest a formal gown for yourself and a tuxedo or black suit for your husband for the renewal of your wedding vows. Then you could change into a nice dress for the reception, and the black suit would take your husband over into the reception easily.
As for corsages and boutonnieres, it is common for the bridal party, and parents/grandparents of the husband/wife to have them. At an anniversary where the bridal party is not wearing matching dresses, this distinguishes them to your other guests.
The nice thing about Anniversary parties is that you can enjoy yourself and do as you wish. If you want brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, etc. to also have corsages and boutonnieres, I would suggest that you have a different flower than those used for the bridal party and the parents/grandparents.

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) - The Ukrainian government and pro-Russia insurgents report at least two deaths on the pro-Russia side during clashes in east Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Interior Ministry said in a statement that military and special police forces killed "up to five terrorists" on Thursday while destroying three checkpoints on a road north of the city of Slovyansk.
A spokeswoman for the Slovyansk insurgents, Stella Khorosheva, said she could confirm that at least two pro-Russia fighters were killed.
The fighting was the first since acting President Oleksandr Turchynov on Tuesday ordered the resumption of military operations in east Ukraine, where pro-Russia protesters and masked gunmen have seized government buildings and set up checkpoints along the roads.
