The 'I can't sleep' support thread

I'll be up for hours. Partly because my hubby works nights and won't be home till about 2am...but MOSTLY because MY BABY SHOWER IS TOMORROW!!!!
I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!

I hope I am one of the lucky ones who have it go away after delivery!
Last night, however, I had horrible wisdom tooth pain. It's been bad all day, too. I'm hoping for a less painful night than last night! Good luck sleeping!

Holy crap, is that carpal tunnel?!?! My arms hurt almost every single morning cause of the way I have to lay. I just thought it was positioning.
GOOD LORD I can't wait until I can sleep on my back again

My hips really hurt, I wanna sleep on my back so much but can't, the toilet breaks are the worst though, guaranteed to not sleep once I've been up. It takes me an age to get out of bed, I'm like an upside down bug lol.

I have to put my feet in the air then rock myself up. If i split my legs apart to try and get off the bed with one foot on the floor and one on the bed my pelvis feels like it is going to split in seperate pieces. I have SPD but it REALLY acts up when i spread my legs to do something or have to get dressed.. sucks... soon our babies will be here, and then about 3 months after they arrive, we will sleep again..LOL maybe.

I've been awake most of the the night because of a stupid cold...can't breathe, my little boy will be up soon so no more sleep for me today...wish I could take something to decongest!!!

I can't open my legs either without pain, even the bone right above my foof feels bruised. I have just gotten rid of cold, it sucks not being able to take anything.

Feel a bit better now, the birds are singing and it's getting lighter!

God I wish I'd thought to come on bump last night! At about 5am, I was in tears in bed cos I couldn't sleep with my carpel tunnel pains! Doc gave me drugs and 1st night they seemed to do the trick, next night not so great and last night was a nightmare. Then everytime I tried to sleep, all I could think about was bloody work! I'm so tired! Think I'm guna have to start trying naps when I can grab half hour (which is rarely)!

I couldn't sleep till about 2am last night. It sucks.

Between my hips killing me whatever side I'm laying on, and my son sticking out whatever limb he feels is appropriate, I haven't been getting any good sleep. Thank god they are inducing me on Monday, I can't take it anymore! At least when my angel is out my body I can be semi-comfortable again.

Ugh for me it isn't the sore joints and bathroom trips all night long... I can deal pretty well with all of that jazz its just this dang heartburn!!! omg it's gotten so bad! Waking me out of my sleep and it goes right to the top and back of my throat. It's the nastiest thing ever and I can't lay down at all. I'm so tired and upset! I've been awake since 2:50am and seeing my hubby curled up and comfortably sleeping next to me makes me want to strangle him almost! lol jk but seriously the men have it sooo easy!!

Yes, for me at least! I've had it since 25ish weeks. I know it has to do with how the baby ays in the womb and such, but some women have it dissipate after labor...others are not as lucky. My poor OH spends his friction life rubbing my hands. I usually wake him up with my ruckus about twice a night and he ends up rubbing my hands and wrists so I can go back to sleep! It's getting worse as LO gets bigger, and I even wore my brace yesterday just while eating!! It's just too much! I hope yours feels better!

In other news, my baby shower is tomorrow so I'm sure I won't be getting much sleep tonight either!:happy dance:


Hope yours went well!!
