Is anyone else having a really hard time sleeping?

Question

What are you guys doing to help? I'm tired but can't fall asleep..I've had maybe 4 hours the last three days..

Answer

I've been having a hard time sleeping too. Between low back/hip pain, baby kicks to the bladder causing frequent bathroom trips, and leg cramps I find crying myself to sleep works the best, Hahaha 😉
Seriously though, I think it all depends on what is keeping you awake and dealing with those issues individually. I'm not a huge fan of taking medication during pregnancy so.... I just limit my fluids before bed and try to do a nice long soak in a hot, Epsom salt bath every night.
Look at it this way, you are just getting prepared for the sleepless nights that are to come. You'll be surprised at how little sleep you can function on when that baby gets here 😉

Answer

Answer

I've been sleeping 4 hours a day the past few weeks. Most days I can't call asleep or stay asleep for very long. I'm going to the doctors this morning praying she has a solution.... it is not helping with the emotions.

Answer

Yes. It's been a tough couple of weeks (I'm 28w now). The ribs are hurting and she's waking me up at night with her flips and kicks!

Answer

Yes. My sleep is all messed up. I sleep 3-4 hours then I get up then go back to sleep 5 hours later and it's the same crap over and over :(

Answer

I am due to carpal tunnel ugh I wear wrist braces at night sometimes they help some night they don't guess just gotta deal part of being prefers only three more months and doc says it should go away after he is born! Oh I hope so!! I'd rather be woken up by my crying baby than by pain in my hands and arms!!

Answer

Yeah this is normal sadly.  I shout with joy when I manage to get five hours a night.  Naps during the day seem to help me catch up as it's easier for me to fall asleep on the couch for a bit.  I think most of it is hormonal but some of it is psychological.  We psyche ourselves out some!  I have been taking just one Tylenol pm some nights.  Also hot tea or honey with lemon.  Some nights my husband and I leave the tv on with low volume of reruns of a show we love and that seems to help.

Answer

Omg I finally Found a way to sleep with a pillow under me like under the breast to waist area and one between my legs now I sleep like a baby

Answer

I fall asleep no problem. But actually staying asleep is another story. I wake up usuallt between 11-1. It's always something. I actually woke up starving the other night. Ha

Answer

I sleep as much as I can during the day. Between her kicking, sore hips and back causing me to change positions frequently, bathroom trips...and then just when I've finally fallen asleep my alarm goes off for me to take medicine. (Every 6 hours)
