Awake and miserable about it

soko987

My back hurts like a motherfvcker. Tylenol is pure ass. I only sleep in 2 -4 hour spurts. I can hear my mother's voice right now: "You think this is bad, wait until the baby comes!"

Shut up, Mom.

Eleven more weeks...eleven more weeks....

Sorry you are miserable. I had back pain for my entire 2nd trimester and partially into the 3rd.  Now, my crotch hurts so bad I don't even notice the back pain.  What about Tylenol PM?  At least you can try to sleep through the pain.

((((Hugs)))) I feel your pain. . i went to bed around 12 and got up at one because my mattress hates me. . . .

I feel ya. LOL For me I am only comfy sleeping on the couch, and if I am up in my bed with DH, I wake up every hour to pee, and then on top of that, the pelvic pain, back pain and wrist pain keep me awake.

I was having the most miserable back pain until we bought a memory foam mattress topper. It was pricey but sooo worth it!

Between that and the chiro I'm back pain free

I highly recommend both.

Sorry you're having back pain, I know it sucks!!

Thanks for the sympathy, ladies.  I know my mattress isn't helping - we're definitely due for a new one.

And, I hate to say it...but sleeping with DH does not help. He tosses and turns and occasionally ( like tonight) elbows me in the face.

Maybe it's time to upgrade to that king sized mattress?

I can't sleep either.  I'm tired but I can't seem to get comfortable.  I one of those people who always has trouble sleeping though.  So this is nothing new for me.

I'm awake too. It seems like 4am is my wake up call, every night at this time I wake and can't get back to sleep. My hips are starting her hurt a lot at night time, I need to switch sides almost every hour and I HATE it when DH faces me during his sleep, it totally creeps me out...

I'm the same way! I cannot sleep facing someone at all.. Creeps me out. Thought I was the only one weird about that. My DD gets offended if she sleeps w/ us and I turn my back to her! Lol

 Nope your not alone, it drives me crazy! I can't stand it if anyone faces me when I'm sleeping. It makes me feel crowded and gives me the creeps.

Ugh, I completely understand. I can't even sleep upstairs anymore because for some reason I can't get comfortable and my husband snoring and elbowing me in the ribs and face doesn't help either. So, for the past 2 weeks or so I have been coming downstairs and sleeping on the couch. I do try to sleep in our bed, but like I said I just can't get comfortable. Also, I literally wake up every hour to pee. It is so ridiculous. Now today my shoulder hurts, which is just wonderful. lol. Oh yeah, I can't stand when someone sleeps facing me, it creeps me out too and I hate when people breathe on me. lol. I just want one night of good sleep!!!!!

I'm feeling the same way this morning.  I had difficulty falling asleep what with heartburn from hell and charlie horses.  I think I slept all of two hours before DH's alarm started going off.  And of course he hit the snooze three times before actually shutting it off.  Not to mention that his phone rang at 6am, and I have a belly baby that thinks 4am on is play time.  I'm tired and cranky and this morning was my one morning to get some sleep this week!

we got a new cal king mattress right before xmas and it changed my life.  i don't even have to know about what DH is doing on his side of the bed, lol!
