All I want to do is sleep!..

Does anyone always feel tired and want to nap?  It seems like the thirds trimester is all about sleeping for me. As soon as I get home, I fall asleep and can't keep my eyes open at work and I am just not comfortable. I can't wait until my maternity leave.

Re: All I want to do is sleep!..

  • I am right there with you and couldn't be more thankful that I'm only working part time. It seems like my days off are spent catching up on naps from work days! Coming to the end momma, let's catch all the naps we can!

  • Seriously it's awful. I'm fortunate to be home most of the time. You better believe I'm sleeping as much as I can!
  • So. Jealous. Sleep is pretty much the only thing I think about all day every day but I've never been able to nap, even when I'm really sick, and at this point sleep at night is such a joke. 
  • Ftm..Yes I am tired and emotional. I have two more weeks until maternity leave. I have yet to get me and the babies bag ready. Nor fix up the space for her. My feet are swollen and on my off days im too tired. I want to sleep but all I can do is lay down with a million things on my mind.
  • I feel you ladies! I'm exhausted from the moment I wake up until the moment I lay down at night. I just got a note from my dr today though to force my boss to let me work part time here out! So happy I will only have to work 5 hours a day from now on!!
  • This is how I've been the past two weeks! I've been sleeping so well at night, but I still wake up exhausted!
  • I'm back to taking naps. It's like my first trimester all over again. I have yet to experience the crazy extreme nesting phase... I'm wondering if it will ever come
  • Not long after I get up I feel like I could nap! Except for some reason I hate taking naps in the middle of the day so I usually dont.
  • My husband works nights so I tend to nap during the day when he sleeps. I feel like all I do is sleep now. I did start to have a little more energy since I started taking iron supplements though.
  • I have been sleeping SO much the last week. Thankfully today I finally felt really rested! We will see if the fatigue hits again.
  • i hate sleeping but i cant sit for even 5 minutes without dozing off! my fiance probably gets so annoyed haha but i cant help it! Im either at work or in bed! Hopefully its just our bodies trying to get well rested before the minis all arrive. i hope im not like this when that time comes though!
  • 100% this I can't get enough sleep. 10-12hre a night & a nap if I'm lucky enough. I swear I'm hibernating until this little girl arrives.
  • Me too! I felt to bad today because my in-laws came over to help with the baby nursery and I couldn't for the life of me stay awake while they were here! Thankfully my husband was home and attended to them, I'm blessed my MIL understands and is extremely helpful around the house. I'm ready for this exhaustion to be over with! I work 13-14 hr days and I find it extremely hard to stay awaka! I come home exhausted!!
  • i dunno how you gals are still working.  I'm so exhausted but at the same time I'm trying to get stuff done.  Yet once I do one chore I get tired and need a nap.  Today I woke up at 9 am but decided to sleep a little later...well i didn't wake up until noon.  I couldn't believe it I haven't slept that late since high school!

  • I'm in the same boat as you ladies! !! I can not seem to get enough sleep and with my 7 year old energy sapping son...it's likely I won't get a reprieve from fatigue. ..ever??? I'm hoping my doc takes me out of work sooner than later!!! I'm totally exhausted, moody, uncomfortable and emotional!!! I'm ready for baby girl to make her debut!!!
  • I'm not napping but I am definitely falling asleep almost immediately after getting in bed and staying asleep (other than to get up to pee) for a looooong time. Went to sleep at 9:30 the other night and still got up at 7:30.
  • FTM here... I'm right there with you! But remember, don't feel guilty about sleeping because I'm a few weeks we won't get nearly as much rest as we have now! Enjoy!
  • All I want to do is sleep but I can't!!! :(
  • It takes me forever to fall asleep. I can't get comfortable. Heating pad gets too hot. Ice pack gets too cold. Ass hurts. Back hurts. Shoulders hurt from sleeping on my side. I can't turn my mind off.

    I only seem to sleep well in the morning when I need to get up for work. :((

    This! I sleep best between like 4 and 9
    Am....good if I don't have anywhere to be but I have a 9:30 class twice a week lol.
  • I maybe sleep a few hours a night. Catch up with naps throughout the day. Just can't get comfortable at night. I've tried all kinds of pillow arrangements but nothing works! I'm usually a stomach sleeper... I would give anything to have a few nights of solid 7-8 hours of sleep before my baby comes, but I guess I'll just be ready for all those late night feedings
  • Me too... I can barely keep my eyes open all day at work, it's miserable!! And it doesn't help I can't ever get a good nights sleep due to peeing a million times during the night and not ever being able to get comfortable!!! All I think about is napping and sleeping!!!
  • Yesssssssssss, I swear It felt like I was falling asleep as I was checking the student's work while he was standing in front of me....it is getting ROUGH!!! #34weeks

    I am 34 weeks too (10/28) and I still work full-time. I thankfully work half my shift in the Return to Vendor cage at Costco. (I work 5:10AM-1:40PM). Whenever I ask to go home early, even though I have intermittent FMLA, it seems they always have some "light"(HEAVY) work for me to do. It's a struggle! I nod off sadly in the RTV cage while the woman I work under watches my back hahaha so ready to see my little one! Then will be able to be a stay at home mommy :)
  • Yes! Lately I've been taking naps, which I wouldn't normally do but there are days when I just cannot keep my eyes open.

    Yes to this! No matter what time in the AM I wake up, I am ready for a nap after breakfast! So sleepy all the time- I credit that to simply not getting quality sleep at night. The struggle is real ladies.
  • 37 weeks, and I started taking naps with my 2 year old. I am beyond exhausted everyday, hope I get one more burst of energy to clean my bathrooms!
  • I feel like I've slept through this entire pregnancy. My body missed the memo about having more energy in the second trimester. Working 10 hrs then coming home I'm ready for bed by 8:30.
  • Green Day's, "wake me up when September ends" is in my head daily. Seriously...I want to sleep until October!!!
  • rosalbap2 Hope you get some good rest over the next few weeks. I've gotten to the point where I want to nap basically every 4 hours myself. I do a few things around the house or run some errands and then crash.

    On a different note...the back ground in the picture of you looks very familiar...are you in Colorado? I live in the burbs of Northern Denver.

  • I feel like I'm sleeping all the time except when I want to!! I go shopping and come home and put things away and I'm ready to nap! I couldn't imagine having a job right now. But at night I feel likei can't sleep at all then I'm tired all day! And I'm starting to sleep walk and it scares my fiance he doesn't know if I'm awake or asleep because Ive started talking in my sleep too! Im scared I'm gonna trip and fall in my sleep induced walking, any one else?
  • I am the same.  I can't seem to sleep at night then I am tired all day.  Yesterday I tried switching it up and went to bed at 1am but couldn't fall asleep until 3 am.  Then I woke up at 9 am but decided I should sleep longer while I still can so I slept until noon!!  I hate waking up that late but then again I'm like, enjoy it while I can!!
