Can't even sleep in bed anymore...I'm an emotional wreck!

I am at the point where I have given up on trying to sleep in bed.  Each time I do, I end up gasping for breath since this little girl is crushing the life out of my lungs!  Not to mention the swelling that I have developed in my back and on my sides, which has become painful to try and lay on anyways.  So I am attempting to, "sleep" on our reclining sofa now, which always causes such an awful pain in my tailbone.  I'm not sure if it is the lack of sleep, hormones, or what....but lately I just cannot seem to stop crying.  I am seriously am emotional wreck and know that it's not good for my baby, but no clue what to do about it.  These last few weeks just suck!!!

    When you are sitting in the chair, try putting a small pillow under one of both sides of your hip, that way you are not putting pressure on your tailbone.

    I know the feeling!  Haven't slept more than 2 hours at a time for the past 3 weeks!  I'm 41 weeks now, and it's only gotten worse.  If on my side with pillows under and in between every part of my body, I still get a numb feeling in my thighs.  So I typically flip side to side every hour.  Not to mention night sweats, those are fun.  I am now trying to sleep in a recliner and it does give me a bit of relief, although I wake up in a panic since I am in another room and not used to it.  Good luck to you, hang in there...at least after baby is here we'll sleep more comfortably, even if it's only an hour at a time :)
