i cant sleep............

[sopho]

i cant sleep........every night is the same. i feel so tired, but i get in bed an i feel so restless.. i go for wee, get back in and need to go again.. i do this 5-6 times then give up and come downstairs.. baby moving so much, from side to side, each time she moves i need to pee.. just feel so uncomfy im so fed up .... i keep crying. im 33 weeks.. it feels like a pushing feeling down low, but really uncomfy. i guess im just moaning... she hasnt moved most of the day , yet tonight she is going nuts, i feel like she is pulling down, its really weird..

Lately, I haven't been sleeping well either. Am also in my 33rd week and I've heard it only gets more difficult.

I find myself also frustrated because I usually find more comfort in sleeping on my right side or sometimes even back. But always feel stressed about trying to sleep on my left.

If it persists, may talk to doctor about it and see if there are any strategies to improve sleep during the night. Will let you know if I come across anything.

Happy !

whats ur due date? mines the 3rd nov.. baby girl too... its so frustrating, im more comfy on my right too, just the constant need to pee is getting so annoying... i have a warm bath each night , nothing works.. and i really love my sleep. ha

 

[mumatmadhouse]

I hear you! Have given up trying to sleep tonight after an hour and a half of tossing, turning and getting up to pee while DH snores soundly, grrrr. Restless legs are driving me nuts tonight too

 

[sopho]

its so annoying.. i feel itchy and restless legs too... my oh is snoring away, i actaully resent him!! he has to b up at 6am so i feel so tight keeping him awake, but i then feel jealous he is sleeping, how stupid is that!! lol

 

[mumatmadhouse]

i know what you mean. My DH doesnt even have to be up in the morning so i could wake him but i think he would just annoy me anyway, lol. Its stil very unfair of him to be so nicely asleep, i'm jealous!

 

[lilou]

Hey ladies, I hear you. Can't sleep either...
I am 39 weeks and can tell you that things don't get better I am afraid. It isn't easy but try and keep the end in mind, you have done the biggest part of the pregnancy and soon you will hold your little bundle
xx

 

[lilou]

Oh and nap as much as you can, that will keep you going!

 

[sopho]

have u got any names for baby? this is my first an any little twinge im convinced im in labour lol....

 

[mumatmadhouse]

Thanks lilou for the encouragement xx

Names... ah yes, well i am torn at the mo between skye and autumn. I did want skye autumn but hubby pointed out that with our surname it would give her the initals SAD so maybe not, lol. Its so exciting with your first, this is my 5th and even i worry about twinges and early labour, lol. Do you know what your having?

 

[sopho]

im having a girl...both then names r lovely... i like ava, bella or lily.....im so nerbous bout the whole birth thing... just want her here , if only i could bi pass the giving birth bit lol

 

[mumatmadhouse]

Ah bless, they are lovely names. I think we all feel like that at times hun. Its usually arouns this point that i start to think more about the birth and go from being really excited to completely cr***ing it, lol. Just remember that tons of women do it every day and some more than once so it cant be that bad and i promise you that when they say you forget all the pain the instant you hold your baby they are telling the truth, its an amazing experience

 

[sopho]

i just worry i wont b able to do it etc... but i guess its all normal worries...im just looking forward to holding her,i really cant wait... new baby for xmas... gona b lovely x

 

[mumatmadhouse]

Yes, its all normal, doesnt stop us worrying tho does it?
i think I am more worried about when this bubs is going to decide to make an apperance tbh. she is due on 20th Oct, my oldest turns 17 on 16th Oct and my youngest turns 3 on 24th Oct, lol. I just really would prefer it if she doesnt hijack one of the girls birthdays.

Ugh I can't sleep at ALL. I'm due November 4th so I'm also just over 33 weeks. It's awful. I finally took a Unisom last night (my midwife has been assuring me for MONTHS that it's ok to take, but I haven't wanted to take anything -- but this was a desperate situation). Guess what? Didn't do anything but make me feel super out of it and weird. I was still awake till 6am. SIX IN THE F$%#ING MORNING. It's SO awful. Woke up around 9am with a splitting headache from the stupid unisom. Tried to take a nap but couldn't settle cause I pee every 15-20 minutes.

Last night OH came home from work around 3:30 am (he's a bartender) and I was just weeping. I'm so frustrated and defeated. This insomnia is by FAR the worst pregnancy symptom I've experienced. Every night is the same. I'm so beyond exhausted; I'm delirious, my balance is off, I feel weak and I am totally useless. But I still. can't. sleep.

 

[Al Syr]

That is good! Get used to it!

 

[babytibby]

The last 2 nights I have slept not too bad. Saturday was bad as I kept waking with painful hips and had to keep swapping sides so was very restless. It doesnt really bother me being on my right as this is my 3rd pregnancy and I dont recall it being a problem or an issue before

Last night I grabbed an extra pillow and wedged it under bump and the hip pain didnt happen so thats that problem sorted hopefully

As for not sleeping, if I get like you guys I always have a cup of chocolate ovaltine, sounds like an old woman but it works a treat for me. About half hour before bed or up to an hour as it makes me hot then I just sweat in bed lol but it does tend to knock me out for a few hours at least

omg I love these names. I wanted Autumn, purely for the time of year but oh was dead set against it, hes very old fashioned in some ways and this was just too trendy for him to deal with (and he also didnt realise you could have it as a name)

Why dont you have Autumn Skye, I think that is just gorgeous and would love to pinch that for my little girl but I know he will just say no and wouldnt even think of budging on it

May give it a go though later

completely sympathise hun I'm the same! I'd suggest taking some magnesium before bed - helps a bit!

My due date is November 4th. Can't believe how fast it's approaching...even though most of the time it still seems so far away. I totally hear you. Was telling DH that I don't look forward to sleeping anymore. I find it more stressful than anything else. We'll get through it and I keep thinking, it's all worth it for our little ones.
