I'm 39 weeks and have an inside baby and she has no intentions of leaving my body. Well she and I are ready stupid cervix!! Anyways I'm trying to get rest and sleep and it seems I'm either a falling asleep at 1-2 am or if I fall asleep earlier doesn't matter I'm sleeping in blocks every 3 or 3 1/2 hours I wake up. Sometimes I need to use bathroom other times no just up. I just needed to vent I guess I'm getting practice for when she is here. I just want 5-6 hours of sleep straight through.

    I haven't slept longer then 2 hour stretches in months. My routine is wake every 1.5-2 hours, use the restroom and flip sides I'm sleeping on. And then there's a good chunk from 3-6 that I'm normally just up. It sucks but definitely a good way to get your body used to being up who knows how many times with a hungry baby. But at this point I wish the waking was for a better reason.

    I'm right here with you, ladies. The longest stretch I've gotten in weeks is 4 hours, but it's usually 1-2 at a time. Also, I've been on the couch for weeks because it's the only place I can get comfortable. I'm very ready for this little guy to make his appearance.

    I'm right there with ya'll. I don't sleep more than 3 hour stretches with bathroom breaks with every wake up. I'm trying to be positive tho and cherish these last few sleeps without a baby needing to nurse constantly. It's not ideal but I'm thankful I'm sleeping at all at this point. :)

    Isn't it amazing how great a 3/4 hour block feels now? I was reminiscing about sleeping 8-12 hrs straight right before getting preggo

    It seems like another life now. I can't imagine sleeping that many hours consecutively ever again. My SIL told me today to enjoy my last few days of 'good sleep,' and even though I know it'll get harder once this baby is outside I still had to laugh. Good sleep is in the same category as unicorns and mermaids now.

    I have also slept in two hour chunks for months...occasionally I'll get 3 hours in and it's like HALLELUJAH !

    It pisses me off when people are like "get all te sleep you can now"....well no shit Sherlock! I'm trying but apparently that ain't gonna happen!!

    Sometimes when I wake up and have to pee I'll tell myself I don't have to...just so I dot have to get up. It doesn't usually work, but hey...I tried.

    Me too! I am up non-stop throughout the night and only sleeping in 2-3 hour spurts. Today's my due date & my LO has shown no signs of being ready to make an appearance - so I think I'm waking up even more hoping to feel signs of something but just ending up frustrated!
