Worst Night's Sleep

jll1881

Last night was the worst night's sleep I've had this entire pregnancy.  I could not fall asleep, although I was so tired.  My legs were having horrible cramps (and that doesn't usually happen to me).  At around 2:00, I decided to go try to sleep in the guest bedroom thinking that having the whole bed would let me stretch out a little more.  The leg cramps were so bad that I could hardly walk - I felt like my legs were going to give out.  At that point, I started sobbing and DH woke up.  He came into the other room to massage my legs.  I was crying more because I was so tired and frustrated that I couldn't sleep than from the pain.  Finally around 3 or 3:30 I fell asleep.  I still woke up a lot and got only about 3-4 hours of sleep total.  I know that sleep won't be all that plentiful once the baby is born, but I hope that the sleep I do get is more restful.

I've had quite a few nights like this, not due to leg cramps, but more restless legs.  My doc prescribed Ambien only for when I need it and it works like a charm! Would that be an option for you? I know you are very close to your due date, so you may not have to worry about it much longer...

Minus the leg massages from DH thats my nights every night.  I get more sleep during the day.  It stinks.  I keep hoping it will get better.  I hope the same for you as well.  Good Luck.
