I know sleep issues happen in the later months of pregnancy, but I haven't slept properly since day ONE! I dont know if it's the Hcg surging thro me (I am doubling every 32hrs) or what...but I CANT sleep, and when I have to wake up, I sit up and my boobs feel like a painful 100 lbs! Crying Is anyone else having brutal sleeping problems?

    Yes, me!  I toss and turn, can't get comfortable, wake up 800 times a night to pee, and then my boobs hurt.  The only time I'm really tired?  Is when I have to get up to go to work.  So frustrating!  I cannot WAIT until the weekend so that I can nap to my heart's content!  The time of day I think I'd sleep best is around 2pm, when I hit a wall of fatigue!

    Oh we are!!! :):) Yay! that's awesome! So we're both on the same page at the same time! lol.. I too am only tired when I wake up..by 8 pm my eyes are burning, but I just cant fall asleep...my favorite 20 min power naps are not even possible anymore. Last saturday I tried to sleep in but by 8m I HAD to get up. Maybe our bodies are preparing us for the lack of sleep to come in 9 months... Stick out tongue

    Yup, me too.  I go to bed EXHAUSTED but don't fall asleep.  I'm so tired that I feel drunk.

    I have the same problem.  I seem to average about 3-4 hours per night.  I wish I knew why!

    I'm constantly exhausted and have no problem falling asleep.  I've been falling asleep on the couch normally between 7-8 pm.  I've been giving up and going to bed between 9-9:30 every night.  But, I cannot stay asleep.  I wake up a bunch during the night and am WIDE awake by 6:00 am.  My boobs and my back always hurt when I wake up too.  It pretty much sucks.

    There was a post the other day about pregnancy pillows.  I'm thinking of getting the snoogle pillow this weekend and crossing my fingers it helps.

    I am kind of the same way. I tried to take a nap yesterday because I was really tired but I couldn't fall asleep. I also can't seem to fall asleep at night easily. You would think we could with how tired we are.
