3rd Trimester

Late 3rd tri'ers

Seriously....how the eff are you sleeping?  I can't for the life of me get into a comfortable position and if I do start to doze off the puddle of drool running down my face wakes me up.  Last night was the first night I haven't been nauseous in a long time, but I was still up most of the night trying to sleep. 

How can someone so tired just not sleep!

  • Do you have a body pillow?

  • I usually wake up every 2 hrs to go to the bathroom and change position.  Last night I was up every hour!  It doesn't help that I have the worst acid reflux in the history of the universe.  Ick!

  • I don't sleep!  I toss and turn.  And the drooling is just annoying.  DH said bye before he left this morning and put his hand right in a big puddle.  I'm just glad I'm not working so I can take naps throughout the day on the recliner.
  • i am up every 1-2 hours every night to pee and switch sides, but when i am asleep i am like a dead person. somehow i still consider myself to be getting somwhat decent sleep. but i have always had a really good talent for falling asleep.

  • I'm sorry you are having such a hard time.  I wake up about 2 times once to pee and flip to the other side and the other to change positions.  I've been lucky and I sleep pretty good.  Once I got a body pillow I stopped having problems sleeping.

    Yes.  Hasn't been helping the past couple of weeks.

  • Most nights I don't sleep much at all. I have a body pillow and it just hurts my hips to use it. Ugh.
  • I can't sleep most nights and I have a body pillow. I agree it doesn't help..it just makes my hips hurt when I have to get up a million times to pee.

  • When I'm sleeping I'm fine. It's the trips to the bathroom every hour to two hours, my husband trying to "reason" with me in the middle of the night to stop snoring (What the heck!), and the need to flip to a different side that are making it hard to STAY asleep. I don't have a body pillow so can't really say whether or not that will help, but I do keep a nice soft feather pillow under my belly and a more firm pillow between my knees and I'm more comfortable with them than without. I get better sleep during the day. Take naps if you can. They are glorious!
  • Peeing every 2-3 hours and then switching sides. Last night was horrible though -  I think I slept a total of 3, maybe 4 hours max and the most I slept in a row was 1.5 hours.

  • ive been crashing on the couch and to my surprise, it really helps. i like having the 'back' so i'm not flopping around like a fish plus its closer to the bathroom. With the tv on, its easier for me not to dwell on it.
  • I have just resigned myself to not sleeping. It sure doesn't do much for my mood though! I usually have a bunch of pillows in bed with me so that I can switch it up a bit. That has seemed to help a little.
  • Sleep? WTH heck is that? It's awful, I agree. My body pillow doesn't help much anymore. I can't get comfortable, I can't breathe even propped up....I am so ready to have this baby!!!
  • I finally found a comfortable sleep position!

    My hips have been killing me the last few nights not matter which side I sleep on (with my body pillow). I am now sleeping with a rolled up towel under my right hip and side, and have my body pillow on my left side supporting my belly. My left leg is sometimes bent so it's on top of the body pillow as well. It's almost like sleeping on my back, but I don't wake up with a tingly heel as I did when I quit sleeping flat on my back.

  • i'm definitely not...and the drool thing!!  im washing pillow covers every day.  i love that it covers half my face before i wake up.
  • I don't sleep very well, but last night I caved and took a Tylenol (which tends to knock me out--regular, not PM) and I definately slept better..not great, but definately better. 

  • Last night had to be the worst night so far (& I've had some bad ones!).  I didn't sleep at all ... up at least 3 times to pee then hip/pelvic pain and just plain miserable.  Isn't it over yet?!?!?!?
  • What the hell is sleep? I havent slept anywhere near good for a few months now. The body pillow usually makes it worse. I wake up fully everytime I have to re-adjust. I pee every 2 hours. The cat damn cat who kneads everything wakes me up every night and the damn dog whines in the morning. For some reason I make little noises when I sleep that wake me up. I am not having fun. Grrrrrrrr
