Question

When people say that I can't complain about being tired until I have a baby... 
There's no way I can sleep worse after giving birth than I do now. 
I am in so much pain every night because of my back and I wake up several times every single hour.  I twist and turn all night long and am always awake from about midnight to 3am. My pregnancy pillow hardly helps. 
Anyone who actually has kids who feels like they got more quality sleep after their baby was born? 😴🙂

Answer

When people try to tell me how to feel

Answer

I bed shared with my daughter and got way more sleep than I’m getting right now. Laying on my left side makes my hip hurt, right side means acid reflux, and laying on my back is just too much. Pregnancy pillow has not helped, I constantly move about during the night. I just got my daughter (1 1/2yr old) to sleep in her own bed 2 weeks ago because she kept wanting to lay right on my tummy. Even that didn’t keep me up as much as my own body is.

Answer

So the newborn phase sucks - up feeding and changing diapers every 2 hours. That said, I slept SO HARD and GOOD in those two hour intervals, generally. I would end up with like, a total of 6 hours of good- but broken - sleep each night with my daughter. 
So I feel you. I can’t sleep bc I’m uncomfortable in my body. Once the baby is out, hopefully I’ll be able to sleep SOME and at least I will be able to sleep on my back or front!

Answer

As bad as my sleep was before by daughter arrived it was 10x worse when she did. Waking up uncomfortable & to pee was nothing compared to being woken every 2 hours to change and feed.

Answer

Nope it's about the same.

Answer

You defo sleep worst when you have a newborn as your up every 2hrs, but in between that your getting your little one to sleep or breastfeeding/making bottles. Pregnancy sleep annoying as your up and peeing and uncomfortable but soon as you have a baby your tired from minute you wake up to the minute you go sleep. 😂 gets easier tho as your body so used to working without sleep.😊

Answer

It's about the same for the first month or so then it gets a lil easier.

Answer

It’s different. Yes you will still be tired, but you can sleep in any position you want and your body isn’t using as much energy throughout the day just to function. It’s easy to forget that sometimes pregnant can keep you up just as much as a newborn.

Answer

Yessssss!!!!I'm so uncomfortable pregnant it's not even funny!!So yes I got waaaaay more sleep after baby then actually being pregnant!

Answer

I really hope so- especially after getting 3 hrs of interrupted sleep last night and having a busy day of work ahead of me today 😴
