3rd Trimester

Is night much worse for you?

It seems as if my body immediately goes into painful-pressure-cramping mode as soon as I get into bed.  It's not even that bad when I'm just relaxing in bed on my computer, but as soon as I brush my teeth, pee, put my glasses on and settle in it's pain time.  I don't get this uncomfortable during the day, it's only when I decide it's time for bed.  Brody also thinks it's dance party time too which adds sharp jabs to the rest of the pains.  Laying on my left side does nothing to ease it, and I'm usually pretty uncomfortable all night long. 

Re: Is night much worse for you?

  • I agree! My LO think it's party time too in mommy's tummy, my back starts aching, hips start hurting, sciatic kicks in. I have slept so well up until 31 wks. Now it's like sleep is no longer a friend! *sigh* I hope everything gets better hon!

  • The worst part for me is lack of sleep. I can be exhausted during the day, but around midnight I am UP.


  • definitely. ?I am pretty good during the day, but all the aches and pains come out when I lay down.

  • The horomone that triggers labor spikes at night so that is why things start to kick up in the evening. Your bodies are warming up to labor.

  • Yep!! It's more like once I settle down for the night. I usually watch tv with FI and bump for quite awhile before I actually go to bed. I know that I'm not gonna be able to sleep anyway so I'm never in a rush lol.
  • YES! Sleep is a hot commodity nowadays. I'm so glad I took off work a month early because there's no way I could drag myself in for a 10 hour day on the amount of hours I'm getting. I find I sleep better during the day (I suppose I'm lucky to be able to do that.) However, then I'm up half the night because it feels like I'm laying on bags of nickels. LOL. Lord, let us all have healthy babies that come soon so we can get some shuteye--at least for a temporary amt of time! GL to you all.

  • Night is so much wore. Baby is really active, back and hip pain (pillows don't even work). I am so much better during the day. Oh and getting up every 3 hours to go to the bathroom.
  • Yep, I'm pretty much the same as you gals. Hip and back pain all kick in when I'm in bed. Plus I've developed a really sharp muscle pain just under my ribs so whenever I try to sit up, lay down, or turn over I get a wonderful shock. Not to mention going to the bathroom every 1.5-2 hours. Last night I got up 6 times! This is getting old fast.
