Another sleepless night

Sexy5suga · September 2014

Am I tired yes, am I uncomfortable yes and do I have to pee every 20mins oh yes. With all that can I please fall asleep at night so my days are not wasted? I fall asleep at 540 then wake at 7 to get DS to school. I pass out a 10 from lack of sleep then wake up in time to pick DS up. This is my new routine and it sucks. Btw did i mention the large bowling ball attached to my stomach that is so heavy I wish I could rest it down and come back later.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time. When I had my OB appointment yesterday the nurse suggested I put myself down in the rooom before going to the bathroom. I asked her if I could just drop the babies off in the room, it would be so much easier. She laughed at me. Too bad our menfolk can;t carry half the weight!

This week.... Omg.... Have woken at around 2-3 am every day. Last night I was up for four hours. Tonight I've been up for over 2... And my back pain is keeping me from going back to sleep! Ahhhhh so frustrating. I should be able to sleep well the last few weeks before baby is here!! ;(

Here i am right on cue for DS. @persephonerose‌ if only the menfolk could then we would be too happy and that kind of happiness just isn't natural. @Jennyc00‌ girl that back pain is no joke, have you tried different pillow setups or on the couch. If I'm on my bed i need at least 5 pillows to even attempt comfort but on the couch I only need 3. Last night I was on the couch the bed wasn't cutting it.

I feel your pain! I was up about 6 times last night and finally when I got up at 3:00am I said just forget it and stayed up. It is a never ending cycle. The pain keeps you up then you have to pee then you can't get comfortable and it seems it is just a vicious cycle all night long.

F nighttime.

I wake up 4 times/night now. Between peeing, charlie horses, needing a snack, or dying of thirst. It's miserable. In the morning I'm a crazy evil bitch who is massively sleep deprived.

Yep I have a preggo pillow and when it hurts that bad no position really phases it. No fair!!

I'm there too. I've even tried to go to bed earlier, but I just end up getting up more to pee. I've been having crazy vivid bad dreams that wake me up, too. And I keep waking up like 10-30 minutes before my alarm goes off. Then I'm so pissed I woke up that I can never go back to sleep. I'm pretty much a zombie for a majority of the day. Not to mention a little bitchy.

I'm convinced my bed is a torture device.

Sexy5suga · September 2014

What's with the thirst thing? I mean at night I am super thirsty but if I drink anything I spend the whole night making trips to the bathroom. Sucks so bad

Have you ladies tried getting your partner to give you a major stretch before bed? Once DH started doing that I started waking up in much less pain. He stretches my hips into adduction, my glutes, my hamstrings and my adductors. Has made a huge difference for me. I still get up lots to pee, but not in nearly as much pain as before.

regitron · September 2014

I completely understand how you are feeling, I feel the same way. I'm so uncomfortable all the time, it's overwhelming and I can't stop crying.

TheFutureMrs.O · September 2014

Yup. Sleepless in NC too. I'm up half the night every night. My mind won't turn off with all the stuff to do. Or I gotta pee. Or my hips hurts. Or hubby is snoring. Or DS is coughing over the monitor bc he's always sick from daycare. Or the carpal tunnel I have. Sleep sucks these days.

Lindzoid · September 2014

I feel your pain, but be happy you don't have to work on top of it. I'm up every hour to pee during the night but get up at 5:45 to go to work and still work 50 hours a week....so it could be worse. Hopefully were all in labor soon enough!!

I tried the stretching today so I'm hoping for great results. I expect pain in the morning but I hope there's flexibility with it.

I started wearing a support belt to sleep and ever since then I have only gotten up once a night to pee. Before that I was getting up 3 times. I don't know how it is helping but it is. It's not really a belt either. It's like a tight wrap that goes around my whole stomach. Maybe you could try something like that?
