I generally only have to get up once or twice a night...depends on how long I sleep for. I remember one night though it was 11 times, and that was just way too much!
I have a heating pad that I sleep with all night, so I think that helps my back when I end up sleeping on it. With the pelvic pain, the back seems to be the most comfortable, other then the right side. When I am on my sides though, I am mostly on my stomach. I'm surprised he doesn't kick the crap out of me for doing that
OH rarely evers sleep in the bed with me for the last 6 weeks or so....he sleeps on the couch instead
I just take up way too much space on the bed these days trying to get comfortable, so he took it upon himself to let me have the bed until after the baby is born......thank goodness, lol!

melissa- my aunt suggested sleeping in a recliner when i told her i missed sleeping on my back. it doesnt sound like a bad idea, but now that im on bedrest i sit in one all day so cant imagine sleeping in it all night too.

people keep telling me to do that as well, and I just can't be bothered.....I love my bed, and I just can't see me being more comfortable in my glider......now maybe if it was a lazy boy or a massage chair, then I might consider it 
I feel for you on the best rest. There is no way I would be able to do it. I was put on bed rest back in July for 4 days, and I couldn't even do it then.....it's sooooooo boring!!! And you just want to be up and doing stuff. Thank goodness the end is near for you, so not much longer to go!

thanks. its harder than i thought, but could be much worse. i sympathize with you ladies who have to do shots every day, or check levels by being pricked all the time, or have to change your diets. that would probably be much harder for for me than this.
i have a lazy boy, and its comfy enough during the day, but like you said i want my bed at night. i just sit here all day with the heating pad on my back. by night time i want to lay down...

i get up once or twice a night--usually if i can go right before i fall asleep i can manage just once in the night--unfortunately i usually don't fall back asleep from that one trip around 4am-5am and i just end up dozing until my alarm goes off at 7 for work. ugh. i sometimes wake DH up with my tossing and turning but i really don't concern myself too much with it--he's not working full time right now (he's doing some transitioning in his self employment, which is fine but sometimes i'm a little envious as he has twice as many days off as i do right now and i'm the preggers one). needless to say i haven't had to cook much or do dishes/etc...as often, so that is a positive to the situation.
Gosh I wish i could lay on my back. I get horrible hypotension syndrome when i lay on my back more than 5-10 min...i get dizzy/nauseous/light headed--just really low blood pressure after a period of time. At my ultrasound the other day i had to request to turn over to my left side...i thought i might pass out. she showed me on the ultrasound what the vena cava does when you lay on your back (compresses due to weight of uterus/fluid/baby) and when i rolled to my left side it opened back up again...allowing blood back to my heart. it was really cool to see that...but i do love to lay on my back and stomach! i miss them both and have gotten used to left side but favor the right.

yeah, i would likely go pretty stir crazy on bedrest after the first day--i'm sorry blessed that you have to be on bedrest, but i'm glad it won't be for an excessive amount of time (although I'm sure it feels like it!)

thanks hun. i think its rougher if your a busy body and i am. i really just feel restless. and now that it has been a couple of days im getting really achy, crampy, yucky.
my DH does the laundry in the am and dishes in pm. so going in to the kitchen to get something to eat and seeing some dishes in there drives me crazy. i emptied to dishwasher out one day though and he about lost it. so here is sit on my hiney, with it only getting bigger. i feel like a lazy bum

sounds like you have a good hubby there. mine would likely do the same if i was ordered on bedrest and got up for more than just a bathroom break. he'd probably make me pee in a cup instead of getting up to go to the bathroom okay, probably not...i bet he'd get tired of waiting on me but he'd do it!

at least everything we are doing, as much as it is driving us crazy, is going to be worth it in the end. Giving up sugar is definitely hard, but I have to keep telling myself why I am doing it. The other night, I was actually debating about cheating, and after about 10 minutes, I finally talked myself out of it, and I felt better about not doing it. I think I am having an easier time though without the sugar, now that I am off of work and able to get some extra sleep. It doesn't seem to make me cranky anymore
I have a cleaning lady coming tomorrow morning (I used her once a month ago but then decided to do it myself again)....OH told me tonight that I am to get her to come every week from now on, and for at least 3 weeks after baby is born. I think I will actually give into him this time and listen!

Seems like there are a lot of us who will go on or before 21st February - I want it earlier, not on my birthday though I think if they force me to I won't care by that stage - I'll just want her out! I am wondering whether to try any of those things that can start labour after 37 weeks although I may frustrate myself if I do try them.

I think I'd go mad if I was on bed rest - I'd really rather inject myself multiple times a day (probably cause I am used to it - wonder if someone can get used to bed rest) I usually sleep on my side but am rolling to both left and right at the moment as I am just too uncomfortable.
DD is sleeping through the night in her own bed now and that helps some - she is up by 06:00am but I am so sore by then from lying in bed that its ok to get up then.
If I was on bed rest, my mother or mother in law would have to come and look after both me and DH and DD.
Melissa glad the sugars are behaving better. Mine have gone a bit high again and am upping the insulin yet again (up and down up and down) and have warned those with me that they will go low again - 36 weeks is a big milestone and usually the time when more drops occur but will have to wait and see. Should be on the last box of my ticker today when the thing finally registers that its day here lol.

Labour signs - lots of BH, painful lower down, etc etc... the things that's getting me right now is that for the last four nights I've woken up so sick to my tummy that I thought I was going to 
BLA this SUCKS!!!
Sara - I forgot to mention in your journal that I didn't get a diaper bag until about 7 months AFTER E was born We just used a backpack for a long time. Now I have 2 that I like but it took me forever to decide on what I wanted.

Well now it has moved to the last box.
I have become severely depressed lately - I knew it was coming, (for the last month or more) but was hoping it would stay at least reasonable til the baby arrived when hopefully it will end. Burst into tears at church today and again a few times at home. DH has run away to his brothers house and won't be home til evening - wasn't even here for lunch. Unfortunately I seem to get mixed mania-depression which means there is a lot of anger with it - so while I want to curl up and sleep all the time I also am furious. I have no clue how much is hormones and how much is depression but I know this is not only hormones and that I am in trouble only I am not able to get help yet since baby is due so soon now - by the time any meds began working I'd be in labour.
On DHs side he did try to have a family day yesterday - or at least I think that is what he wanted, only I had to go to the psychologist so he went out with my mother and DD instead and then sat on the computer the rest of the day. He hears on Monday if he will still have a job so probably that is stressing him although it doesn't seem to be really. He is just totally withdrawn and I feel like I may as well not have a husband. It is worse because my mother is here - I think he thinks she must take over so he is even more absent. I am scared to make any decisions right now as I am so depressed and angry that I may decide I do not want him with me when in labour.
Sorry just needed to get that out. I wish there was some help for this - I guess that's what comes of going off medication for 7+ months.
