LONG! PLEASE HELP ME I'M EXHAUSTED! SLEEP ISSUES/ DH ISSUES

Dd has always been a fairly good sleeper i get anywhere form 10-11 hours out of her. She did go to the ped on monday bc she had a little virus but the fever seems to be gone now and she is also getting her molars the dr told me

The last few nights she has been waking up in the middle of the night and nothing comforts her except being held or lying down with me. Even when she lies down with me it takes her a while to settle down.
LAst night was the worst she went ina round 630 ( her normal, usually sleeps until 5) then At 10 she woke up crying i let her cry then I went into the living room where dh was.He has been on the couch since he broke his leg over the summer but now his leg is better but he still falls asleep and stays on the couch most nights which really i dont care about BUT that means that i am the only one getting up with DD. So i wake him up at 1015 and say what shoud i do? do you think its her teeth? He says i have no idea.
So i go in and i sit in the chair with her and she sems to be dozing off i put her down and i go back to bed. 1045 she is up again. I go back in to dh and by now i am hystertical bc i am just sooo exhausted from this goign on all week since sunday night now. Then he gets annoyed and says i told you you put her to bed too early. I said she goes to bed NO PROBLEM its that she is waking up thats her thing. He said welli give you and answer and you argue with me. i said no your answer makes no sense if she wasnt tired at 630 she wouldnt go down so easily.
So finally we are bioth sitting on the couch listenig nto her scream and he says well i guess you arent going to let me sleep until i go in there.so he goes in and sits with her fo a good 15 minutes puts her down she cried for 30 seconds and was out.. until.. THREE AM. I let her cry for a bit then she dozed off then she was up at 345 FULL SCEAMING. i went in sat with her thought she was asleep and put her back down BOOM she is up i was sooooo tired i took her in the bed with me. i hate doing that in teh middle of the night but i am soo sleep deprived and 20 weeks pregnant that i had no choice. Right now my eyes feel like they weigh 100lbs each. I could pass out right here typng this. and of course Dh has a ranger game tonight.

if you are still reading.. thank you and do you think its her teeth? what do you think i should do?

Your dd may have an ear infection. I would bring her back to the pediatrician.

Give her some baby nyquil or motrin or something. If its her teeth this will help her to feel better.

I feel for ya!!!

Is she teething??

I know Christopher has been waking up crying at night, and I noticed his top molars are coming in.

I would say it sounds like its her teeth, try to give her some Tylenol it may help with the pain.

Hang in there, I know its not easy being sleep deprived, not to mention being pregnant and sleep deprived , I really feel your pain

Re: LONG! PLEASE HELP ME I'M EXHAUSTED! SLEEP ISSUES/ DH ISSUES

try Motrin before she goes to sleep

Re: LONG! PLEASE HELP ME I'M EXHAUSTED! SLEEP ISSUES/ DH ISSUES

Yes I would absolutely 100% say it's her molars, we went thru this w/Ryan and it was awful. Try some Motrin - that helped us but he still woke up and cried in his sleep but was not all out screaming, but once 5 hours came and he was almost ready for another dose you could totally tell. Those molars do a number on them. It lasted around 10 days for us (sorry) I KNOW how awful it is hang in there. YOu'll have your sweet baby back before you know it!
