Between hip pain, bathroom breaks and waking up from weird dreams, I feel like I get no sleep at all. At least I'm preparing myself for when the baby comes but I kind of miss the sleep. Sleeping in isn't an option either because my son gets up at 6:30. Is anyone else having some rough nights?
I'm right there with you!! Between getting up to go to the bathroom, waking up to change position, waking up hungry...I'm up every couple of hours! Good practice is right.

Same here. I actually look at the clock each time and I have been waking up every 45 minutes to use the bathroom. It's so frustrating, I think the little girl is training me for what's about the come in a few short months!
I feel like I spend half the night on the way to or from the bathroom! Or just generally tossing and turning because one side has gotten super sore. I wish I could sleep in or nap, but between work, our huge move, holiday chores, and several photography gigs in the last week, I'm stretched a bit thin.
YES! I haven't slept well in a couple of months for all of those reasons. Plus some nights I have terrible indigestion and it takes forever for me to get to sleep. Sometimes I'm lucky and can take a nap, but most of the time I don't have that luxury.
This! I've been having some really rough nights - between the bathroom, hunger, heartburn, and hip or back pain it's been hard to get a good night's rest. H says even when I do sleep that I toss and turn so much he can't believe that I ever feel rested.
I sleep pretty good. I usually sleep deeply so I don't have to goto the bathroom. DHs alarm goes off around 5 and I get up then to pee then come right back to sleep. I wake up a lot during the night but I can always go right back to sleep for the most part.
My DD has been sick and is not sleeping well. So even when I could be sleeping she wakes me up and I have to be a mom. Oh sleep, someday perhaps I'll see you again.
I was sleeping great until this week. I have been waking up 2-3 times a night to pee, but I typically fell back asleep quickly. This week, I think baby had a growth spurt, but my belly has not gotten much bigger. It feels like she is pushing my skin out constantly. It makes it very hard to sleep because no matter how I sleep I feel her. I haven't figured out a really good way to get comfortable.
I am having trouble sleeping too. If I sleep on my left side, then I wake up with horrible hip pain that requires me to get up and walk around. If I sleep on my right side, I have to prop a pillow under my shoulder or else I wake up with my arm completely numb. I toss and turn a lot!

I wake up very consistently at 2:30 AM, STARVING. I have a sneaking suspicion that in a few months I will be woken up at 2:30 AM by a starving baby...
And yes to the multiple bathroom breaks at night and weird dreams. But, like many have said, I consider this sorta like training for the near future!
I'm up at least once a night to pee.
I've been relying on napping when DD1 naps, which has been my only saving grace. It gets me through the day/evening.

Same + every time I come back from the bathroom DH has kidnapped my body pillow.
I bought a mattress topper at Costco that lets me sink in a little and takes the pressure off my hips. really helps.
