“Get plenty of rest” they say...(a 2:57am vent)

CJ • ❤️ Aug2020 ❤️

“Rest now, because when the baby comes you’ll never rest again”...well guess what? I haven’t had a good “rest” since before I was pregnant. Restless 1st trimester, restless 2nd...and rolling right into my 3rd. I “fall asleep” 😒 at about 11pm, and stay awake between 12am-4am. Then, fall back to sleep 4-6am and then I’m awake. I feel “zombified.” When I’m awake, I don’t feel tired, just heavy and space-y? (ya know...like a zombie) Like right now, if it weren’t shameful, and if my husband wouldn’t be extremely alarmed, I would get up, shower, get dressed and walk down to the kitchen and make THE BEST chicken nachos! Oh and the baby? She’s awake too, laying extra heavy on my left side. You know how “they” keep screaming “lay on your left side, more blood floooow” - it’s not easy when baby has been sitting there entire pregnancy, just chillin. And when I DO lay left, she initiates a “turn yo ass over” drop kick spin move unto my one round ligament - I said 1 round ligament!😖 It’s a beast, in need of its own epidural. But I love her. I wonder if she’s left, because that’s my dominant side? I AM left handed 🧐 (space-y) excuse me while I go and “rest.” 🤷🏽‍♀️
