anyone else dread trying to go to sleep?

Question

I feel like whenever I lay down to try to go to sleep is when I get all the worst pains! It's like my body holds out on all the pain until I'm relaxed in bed and BAM! it all overwhelms me. Suddenly it feels like my body is trying to break apart in small pieces! My doctor said the worst of pregnancy happens at night.... And do I believe it 😫

Answer

I dread it because trying to sleep is miserable. My restless leg syndrome kicks in so my upper thighs hurt and I always have to stretch them out, I'll get tired but never sleep, or I'll toss and turn in that horrable half awake, half asleep state. It suuuuuucks!

I'm in bed around 8 every night so I feel like I'm getting more time with my husband. He works 14+ hour shifts so he's gone from like 430am to anywhere between 6 and 730pm.
But I never sleep until 2-4am

Answer

Yep, it's really difficult to get comfortable then if I manage it I get kicks or the baby trying to burrow into my ribs, then (if I haven't taken ranitidine) the reflux starts. And even if I manage to find a comfortable position it's only comfortable for about a half an hour before something starts aching - then I feel like a beached whale trying to move into a different positions to ease whatever hurts. People go on and on about how you'll never sleep well once the baby arrives so enjoy it now blah blah blah - I haven't been able to sleep well in ages!!
