Re: sort of survey..

[Guest guest]

I think I've missed the original thread but I'm gathering that there are two

surveys involving due dates and sleeping habits of our children with DS.

All of my kids were born on or before their due dates.

Cristen (11, DS) was born 2 weeks early and Dylan (8)

was born 2 weeks early. Ethan (6) was born on his due

date and ie (3) was born five days early. I've never heard the moon

theory and I'm fascinated. I wish that I'd heard of it when my kids were

born. The moon has a strong pull on our bodies and the ocean tides.

I didn't work (outside the home) when I was pregnant, but I took ballet up

until they were born. I was in early labor while I was in class with the

last two. fI also drank red raspberry tea which is supposed to tone the

uterus for childbirth. All of my labors and deliveries were easy and

uncomplicated (although I didn't think so while going through them).

Sleeping habits...Cristen is definately a restless sleeper.

We have seen her actually walk at night, come downstairs,etc. She has to

sleep with the hallway light on,

used to have to have the light on in her room but is slowly weaning off the

light at night. She sleeps in strange positions. I wonder if the sleep

difficulties are related to low seritonin but I'm not willing to medicate my

child to find out. I have noticed that she seems to be mildly depressed

some days and have wondered if this is sleep related. So far it is not

really severe enough to take any action. Cristen is very happy in school

and I think she was lonely at home before.

weeks before was born. My doctor told me that women who work right up

to their due date have babies earlier, true in my case. Also, folk lore has

it that births cluster around full moon and new moon days. Mine did this

too. in Kentucky
