Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

and I cannot sleep at all anymore I have not been feeling well the last couple of days, and sleep is the ONLY thing I want, however, my body won't allow me to. I slept two hours total last night, two total the night before and 3 hours total the night before that. I just want to SLEEP!

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

I empathize with you! This is how my sleep has been since the first week of Feb and I know how hard it stinks!

Try to catch some winks whenever you can (lunch, breaks, early evening ect) that helps your body at least a little bit.

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

Sorry to say, but I am in my 3rd trimester too and it feels like its getting worse before the little guy comes out. I cant even walk anymore and I didnt even gain alot of weight. I cant sleep either.

Good Luck!

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

This was exactly how it was my whole 3rd trimester. I'm sorry to say, it doesn't get better :(

On the positive side, I'm actually sleeping MORE in the past 3 weeks since my son was born, than I did in the 3rd trimester. So there's that to look fwd to!!!

Ahhh, I know this sounds harsh, but consider it VERY good and VERY realistic training for your first 3 months with baby!

Rachel,
I feel you pain, girl! Between getting up to pee every 25 minutes, not being able to get comfortable, and my left and right sides going numb after an hour of sleeping I am lucky if I get a few hours a night! All part of the third trimester, I guess.

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

I have been telling myself it's good training for when she finally arrives. It helps a little, but days like today, I am walking around like a zombie. The nice weather does help to keep my spirits up, though. I hate to complain about it because I know so many girls would love to be pregnant, regardless of all the temporary discomforts. So I am just going to be thankful I even got a couple hours of sleep

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

I was the same way and it was horrible. My doctor told me to take unisom and it worked wonders.

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

I can definitely relate, but I think it's just our bodies preparing us for those sleepless nights.
Try to take naps during the day, if you can.

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

I am the same way...it is horrible. I can not get comfortable for anything. i am 35 weeks and it is getting worse.

Re: Ok, so I hit my third trimester...

I had the worst insomnia!!!!! The last 4 weeks were the worst for me. No matter what I did I could never fall asleep at night. I would be up until 3 am and then would move into the den to watch TV so as not to wake up DH and would finally fall asleep there. I beg and plead with myself to fall asleep, it was horrible!!

Hang in there!
