Am I the only one...

That can still fall asleep even while LO is kicking and punching? Maybe they'll get to be stronger but I've heard about how some women who can't fall asleep! I'm terrified of when/if that moment happens!

Can anyone else fall asleep easily?

    It does def. get stronger, but I can sleep through it. There's only been a few times that I was unable to and it was b.c he was kicking my ribs -- VERY hard. I was yelping! Lol. But hiccups, rolling, regular kicks, etc. I have no problem with :-)

    His kicking and punching doesn't keep me awake. The fact that I HAVE to have a pillow between my legs can keep me awake. I am usually so tired by the end of the day that I fall asleep so fast. Now if I wake up to go to the bathroom 9 million times, then it usually takes me a little to finally fall back asleep.

    As funny as it sounds, him kicking and rolling is actually comforting to me.

    I don't know that I would say I fall asleep easily, but unless she is being unusually violent with her movement I've become accustom to it enough that I'm usually still able to fall asleep.

    I can fall asleep even when I feel her move.  She tends to move in the early early morning regularly (like around 5 am) and it wakes me up, but I tend to have to go to the bathroom then anyway, and I can always fall back asleep.

    It isn't so much the movement that keeps me awake, but the not being able to get comfortable and all the back pain, pressure and contractions now...

    I've been able to fall asleep and stay asleep thru his movements. Now the only thing that is uncomfortable are the braxton hicks contractions in the middle of the night :/

    She'll occassionally wake me up in the middle of the night when my bladder starts getting full.  I'll wake up because of the kicking, but then realize I have to pee and get up to use the bathroom. 

    Falling asleep isn't too difficult.

    I can still sleep through them. DH likes to put his hands on my belly and mess with her if he can't sleep, and I sleep through that too.

    I think it's hilarious that they can "play" while I'm sleeping.

    The baby doesn't move around much just before bed, but when it has the hiccups I can't fall asleep.  Even when the baby gets them while I'm at work I have a hard time concentrating, I just watch my belly.

    Last night I'm pretty sure I fell asleep before even pulling the sheet up over myself. Though LO doesn't move that much these days. I'm so exhausted by the  end of the day that I just pass out basically. I do have to wake up several times to pee.

    I'm still sleeping pretty well. Some nights I wake up and have to go to the bathroom but it's not an every night thing. Baby has preferences on how I sleep though. Either on my back or on my right side. If I lay on my left side LO moves like crazy.

    Stick out tongueJEALOUS!

    LO is going to be a ninja (like his momma) because he kicks, and has for a month or two, sooooo hard i want to cry sometimes!

    There is no sleeping when he's really moving.

    Sometimes I put my belly on DH's back so he gets kicked too. lol

    Mine must be squished in there cuz I've never felt like crying with pain from any of their kicks. either that or they're positioned to where it doesn't hurt me that much.

    I am 38 weeks and have never had any problem falling asleep or staying asleep through any of my LO's movement.

    In the beginning it was harder for me to fall asleep and LO would even wake me up from kicking. But now I am so use to feeling her move and protrude out to the sides that it hardly phases me.

    Now when I cant sleep its because of heartburn or sciatic nerve pains or charlie horses but not her moving. I just think its different for everyone.

    Feel lucky to be sleeping well!!! becaus eit may change soon :)
