What is sleep?

Question

I think my body has completely forgot. At 33 weeks I officially ross and turn all night, pee 2-4 times and am wide awake at 5:30 am. Is this just preparation of what's to come?! 😭😭😭

Answer

Oh no. It is nothing compared to having a newborn! Experiment with pillows to see how you can get comfortable, drink LOTS during the day so that from 7 to 9pm you can slow down then stop at 9pm. I did that and stopped having to get up to pee at all most nights, or just once around 5am other nights. And go easy on ANYTHING that might give you heartburn or Indigestion in the evening, including dairy. At the very end I had heartburn at night and would have to try to sleep propped up a bit but that really made my hip and lower back hurt.

Answer

Thanks! Luckily I have found a solution to the acid reflux with heartburn tea so that's under control. I will try maybe adding more pillows. At least with the newborn I won't be up by myself 😜
