Anyone else can't sleep?

I have been up since 3:00 AM and cannot go back to sleep.  I am due in 2 days and am getting so anxious and think I finally hit a wall with this pregnancy.  I broke down crying on the couch last night because I now can't help but think this baby is going to be late.  It sucks because the past month everyone in my family kept saying "oh I bet she'll be early" based on my internals and the fact I was still working full time and working out at the gym.  I go back to the doctor on Monday morning if she hasn't come yet and am really having anxiety at this point because my doctor won't induce until 42 weeks if everything is ok.  I really can't bear the thought of waiting two more weeks--it makes me feel like I'm going to have a panic attack.  I am so uncomfortable and just want this all to be over with.  Sorry for the vent.

I know the feeling...well sort of.  I cant imagine waiting another 5 weeks! Anxiety is already getting to me, I stopped working this past week and put my gym membership on hold.  My DH is working nights, TV is sooo boring, I think everything is organized in my entire house now. I need a good book or something.

Hang in there it will be over soon enough!

I've been the same way the last week.  After lots of bouts of pre-term labor, the doctor said that at this point (last Friday) whatever happens happens.  So for a week I've just been dragging.  I'm not even to my due date yet!  But once you get in the mindset that the baby is coming, or should come, it's really hard to get off that.

 I completely understand.  I've had a week of getting up at either 3 or 4 where I can usually sleep until 8:30 or 9.  I've had some signs of depressions as well and I'm going to be talking to my doctor on Monday about it.  You might want to as well.  NOT that you have signs of depression but your doctor should know how you're feeling.  

 :-)  Good Luck!

Oh!  And I've been canceling things left and right since I've been on bed rest and have just been sitting at home.  I'm really going to try and make more plans to keep my mind off the impending date!!!  Maybe that would help too?

Agree.  Sleeping sucks.  I don't even look forward to getting to sleep at night.  It hurts to lay down and try to get comfortable.  Then it hurts to get up throughout the night to use the bathroom.  Then usually around 4 is when I can't get back to sleep.  SUCKS!

Grrrrrr...... i have been awake since 1:30 am. Is this natures way of preparing us for the lack of sleep to come? If it is, it sucks!!

I can't sleep just because I wake up so much to pee!
