Anyone else unable to sleep?

Question

For the past two weeks I'm averaging 4 hours of sleep per night. I feel exhausted but I just can't sleep. 36 weeks today but I don't know how I will deal with this for the next 4 weeks. I have a 2 and 3 year old and I feel so bad that I've turned into such a cranky mommy. Anybody else struggling?

Answer

Its super hard to fall asleep for me and when I do I get about 2-3 hours and then I'm up. Heart burn, gotta pee, hot as fuck, just general discomfort. Then I got this guy next to me who has the balls to get annoyed at my tossing and turning (and grunting and panting lol) so I contemplate smothering him for about 15 mins... 36+4 and ready to be done. 18 more days 😣

Answer

Answer

I was having the same problem, until a friend suggested magnesium citrate powder to me. I take 200mg in a glass of water before bed (the one I have is pink lemonade flavoured), and I went from sleeping 3 to 4 hours a night, to a full 8! It's like magic!

Answer

I know a lot of people don't like to take medicine I use to be one of them. But since this pregnancy I'm now 35wks iv turned to Tylenol PM at night becuz it helps me sleep and takes away any aching or small pain. I also have 3 & 4 year old boy toddlers so I have to have some kind of sleep. I'm getting to the miserable stage now tho so it's not completely helping me.

Answer

I just can't stop googling sh!+ when will I lose my mucus plug? What do Braxton hicks feel like. 37 weeks vs 38 weeks. Everything is already prepared for her so nesting is done too early I guess. My only options are to clean or shop. And can barely walk so yeah no sleep for me.

Answer

Yep 37 weeks and been feeling this way for the past week or so

Answer

I'm 36 weeks and I have been getting up every night every 1.5 hrs to pee... So hard to get good sleep when you are peeing all the time!

Answer

I feel some of your pain! I was waking up every morning around 3 or 4am often with terribly restless legs. I asked my dr and he said I could take Benadryl. I was reluctant to do so, but then (thankfully 😆) I got struck with allergies so I then had two legitimate reasons to take Benadryl! I only take one every 24 hours so I think it's okay. Plus I have been getting excellent sleep! Only waking up to wee, and then being able to go right back to sleep. It's bliss 💤
