Just let me Sleep!! (kinda long vent)

in 2nd Trimester

OMG seriously! This pregnancy is draining me! I can barely sweep my house without getting tired. I feel like I'm exhausted all the time yet NEVER get sleep! Why don't I get any sleep?! Because people won't LET ME!...

For a few weeks, every time I took a nap, if my DH was home he would wake me up. He'd either be doing something in the house that would be insanely loud, or come in our room saying "BABY" as loud as he could and kissing me all over my face trying to wake me up, not knowing I'd JUST gotten to sleep. After being so cranky and basically screaming at him about how I was tired and needed rest now that I was pregnant, HE finally got the point! Well, DH is out of State and has been for almost a week. While he's gone I decided I'd catch up on some MUCH NEEDED rest...YEAH RIGHT!

Now that he's gone apparently NO ONE ELSE wants to let me sleep! Before I got pregnant, everyone who knew me knows that if I don't answer my cell or text when you call only call once and only text once. If I don't answer you there's a reason and I WILL get back to you ASAP. Please don't blow up my phone with a million calls and texts, it will not get me to answer you any quicker, all it will do is piss me off because I really can't stand that. Now it seems that since I'm pregnant everyone decided to COMPLETELY forget that rule!

Before I laid down I talked to my mom and told her I was going to take a nap. I sent DH a text and told him the same and that I would call him when I got up. I did that since they're the main ones I talk to and I figured I'd finally get rest....WRONG! I tried to take a nap but finally gave up 2 hrs later...Why? Prob. because my phone sent off individual alerts for 9 missed calls, 7 text messages and 6 voice mails!!!! All from about 5 people INCLUDING My mom and DH...SERIOUSLY?????!!!!!!

It wouldn't be so bad if this didn't happen to me yesterday too! Only not AS many calls and stuff...

I don't want to turn my phone off b/c my mom's health isn't the best and if anything were to happen to her I've GOT to have a way for her to get a hold of me. Normally I answer it ANY time it goes off, but today I just couldn't because I was SO tired! I'm so annoyed and sleepy I just wanna cry and scream!

I called DH and he said he when he gets back tomorrow he's going to just Watch TV and let me sleep as long as I want. He said he promises he won't do anything around the house and I can leave my cell with him so I won't hear it! Hopefully that works because, MAN, I need it! =(

Thanks for listening to my vent ladies...are any of you having an issue like this with sleep?...I sure hope not...

    One solution may be to go to bed earlier and sleep later (on the weekends anyway).

    Would putting it on vibrate help? It may not be as jolting as a sound which may help you with getting some sleep.

    Just a thought and I could be wrong (I'm not a doctor) but you might want to get your iron levels checked. I was SO tired during my first pregnancy all the time and I mentioned it to my doctor and it turned out I was anemic. After upping my iron dose (under doctor supervision) I felt 100 times better. I hope you get the rest you need whatever your case may be.

    This...Good Idea, I had to stop taking my prenatal pills because they were making me sick so that might be what's wrong. Thanks for the info I'll def. check into it!

    Well this sucks big time! As far as just turning your phone off, thats obviously not an option because of your mom's health. I totally understand that because if you turned it off chances are you wouldn't be able to sleep due to anxiety over your mom anyway.?

    I suggest you get one of those really cheap pre-paid phones. Give the number only to DH and your Mom and let them know it is only to be called if it is a TRUE emergency like if your mom is in the hospital or something.?Then turn your regular phone on silent and keep the "emergency only" phone on. That way you can sleep with piece of mind and less disturbances. You can get those pre-paid phones super cheap and it would be worth it for your own sanity. Smile

    Hope you get some rest soon hun!?
