Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

Do you ladies feel that your not getting a full nights sleep anymore.. I feel my body is waking me up and getting me ready for motherhood. anyonle else feel this way?

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

My body wants to sleep all night long. Its my 2 year old and my 3 year old who will not let me get more than 3 hours at a clip

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

I yawn as I type this...I so don't sleep anymore!

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

I haven't really slept from the beginning ... my bladder does not allow more than 2 hours MAX between breaks ... add onto that the PUPPP's and I am literally awake every 45 minutes to 1-1/2 hours. I think in the past 30 weeks, I have slept a 4 hour clip maybe 3 times. Otherwise I am up up up. I used to have trouble falling back to sleep, thank goodness I have adjusted and can fall asleep again pretty easily.

I think I have been really lucky. I am 33 weeks and still sleep almost through the night. I usually get up to pee at about 4 or 5:00, but that's it.

the other times I wake up is to simply (or not so simply) attempt to roll myself over to the other side!!!

Always a fun process and I am usually able to fall right back to sleep!

I almost wish I were having a hard time sleeping so it could prepare me for this baby!

I exhausted myself last night so that I would sleep and somehow, it worked....other than that-what's sleep?

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

Luckily, I am still getting a full nights sleep most nights. But, with my last pregnancy I had insomnia really bad at 36 weeks and til the end. Hopefully that doesn't happen this time. It really affects me if I don't get a full night's sleep. Plus, this time I am working until 3 days before my c-section. Last time, I left a month early so I could sleep during the day if I didn't get sleep at night.

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

I am normally up peeing all the time, or tossing and turning. If one more person tells me to sleep now because I won't soon I might shoot them.

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

I've actually felt way more tired and have been sleeping a little bit more this week than in the past weeks. In the past month, I've been getting up at 3-4x a night to go to the bathroom, and each time was WIDE awake- like my body was getting me ready to be up in the middle of the night.

I think I'm going thru a growth spurt this week which is why I've been sleeping alot.

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

Yup, even if i dont have to pee (which i usually do), i wake up look around, watch the clock, then go back to sleep.

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

I really havent had any problems sleeping unless the dog waking me up a few times a night counts. The snoogle is the BEST!

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

yes! I only sleep an hour or two at a time before I wake up again for an hour or two! so frustrating!!! It started about 2 months ago!

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

Oh yeah! This morning I was up at 4:30. My body wakes me up almost every 2 - 3 hours just to go to the bathroom. I have even tried keeping my eyes closed in the hopes that maybe I'll think I'm sleep walking and then be able to go back to sleep. No such luck.

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

i should have popped on here.. i was up off and on.. i feel like i have an internal alarm clock..

the only good thing about today is its my shower!! so hopefully i wont be tired.

hang in there we are in the home stretch of the last trimester we can do it!!!

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

Yes, I am been getting up for hours at a time. So annoying

Re: Late 3rd trimester ladies... (sleep question)

My last tri I was an insomniac. I remember the last few weeks (since I wasn't working) I would watch TV on the couch, then I would go back to bed and go to sleep at 5 am when DH's alarm went off.
