It is so sad to see someone so delusional... OP Why would you make this public? This is just flat out sad and embarrassing. I am curious as to how old you are..
From her picture, she's in her 40's. From her maturity and mental capacity, she's 12....
@Natalie2290, I hate to be the bad news bear, but you most likely won't get more sleep once your baby gets here, even if your husband is a saint and helps. Sorry.
The point is I would rather wake up to feed and take care of my baby. Not shove that responsibility onto some one else. I wake up every hour anyways now due to my hands and having to pee. Then am up for a while till I can get comfortable. My husband can't help with that. So yeah, I would say that I will get more sleep and if not more sleep at least better sleep.
I had to laugh a little at this. Better/more sleep is so not true. I miss pregnancy sleep.
Haha I'm really happy you know how well I'm sleeping. Please tell me more about how it's going for me and how untrue my lack of sleep is.
No need to be a butt hurt Betty. Didn't know giggling was completely dickish. From my own personal experience, I slept horribly while pregnant. Was awake going into early labor at 32 weeks, or dealing with my tooth being pulled with no pain medication, or the time I literally had diarrhea so bad I couldn't sleep for more than thirty minutes, which caused contractions because of my contracting colon. Add swollen EVERYTHING, an uncontrollable bladder, and life sucked.
Then, I had two separate babies. One who didn't sleep through the night until....she still doesn't. And she's three. And the other one only willing to sleep in my arms in the recliner for two months. Waking up at least hourly, back pain from sleeping in a sitting position. Still wakes up every night around 2, just to play, for a solid 45 minutes.
I just think it's naive to assume you will get more or better sleep. But, here's to hoping! Now, if you would get off your high horse...
@Natalie2290 do you have any children or is this your first?
Because, honestly, I hope you do get a lot of sleep, but the difference between trouble sleeping while pregnant and trouble sleeping with a newborn/baby/toddler etc is this:
You don't have to console yourself. Or try and figure out if you shit, or maybe your hungry, or for God's sake, you might have to take yourself for a drive at 3 in the morning because DAMNIT you just won't go back to sleep. Glare at your DH because you wish he had lactating nipples so he could just take the adorable demon.
So, I don't really know how you sleep, I just hope you don't any of the above.

Didn't see this one before my last post. My only thing is I'm just excited not to wake up in pain. I can go without sleep as long as the sleep I get is real sleep. Not the half sleep half awake crap like it's been. Besides my husband knows how to drive. HIS ass is getting in the car. lol
It may take awhile for the carpal tunnel to resolve. I had it for a few months after delivery. It sucks!
Not white knighting either and I know I'm a newbie but I'm honestly curious....
She clearly has an, um, colorful history here (whether based on truth or not) and I am wondering if her question would be met with the same responses if she hadnt had a baby with a married man, etc?
My friend and her DH hired a night nanny for 5 hours a night. They have twins with acid reflux and were having a hell of a time. She's a small business owner doing it all herself so the two weeks she took off after their birth was a financial stretch-no time off for her-and her DH is a cop, so he really really needed to be rested before going to work. When one twin woke up the other would too. It was awful and I really felt for them. I didn't judge them at all and didn't even consider that others may bat an eye at a night nanny.
So.... Is it because of what else she had posted?
BTW, greetings from August 13. I'm Marissa. My baby will be 8 weeks on Saturday... I have 3 older ones (15, 11, &9).
Someone else had posted about the same thing recently (I think it was titled Baby Nurse). She got some strong reactions from both sides, but nearly as bad as this home wrecker did.

OMG I love this comment because it's so damn true!!!!! As well as the others. BTFU

But that is were it is different your friend has two babies, with a full time job and a husband she wants to be rested because he needs to be. This was a KEPT women so I assume she does not work with one baby. She is crazy ans proud she is a kept women that is why she got such horrible responses.

Yea, I kinda thought that too. Get up, feed baby, go to sleep. No one told me he would not sleep a minute from 12 midnight- 6 am for 3 weeks. Then it just slowly got better. I would sit in his nursery bawling and pray for the sun to come up. It's bad in the beginning
