Sleep patterns in 3rd tri
I've never had insomnia and am not claiming to now, but my sleep patterns
have been really messed up the past several weeks. I am 29 weeks along. I never know what the night has in store for me. Some nights, I sleep great with only getting up a few times to pee. Other nights, I'll toss and turn the cotton right off the sheets. I'll then have to get up for warm milk to go back to sleep. Other nights, it's the leg cramps. Left to right, right to left, etc. How well do you 3rd tri ladies sleep? |

to left, etc. How well do you 3rd tri ladies sleep? Unfortunately, usually on the couch. We have a big wonderful bed, in whIch I cannot seem to get comfortable. I try, most nights, but have moved out to the couch pretty regularly these last couple of weeks. Once I'm there, and have done my normal toss-n-turn prior to sleep, I'm fine. The back seems to help back support, and a comfortable side position. I do not remember it being like this last time around, but, OTOH, my DH was up in Alaska processing fish most of the third trimester of that pregnancy, and I probably slept a lot on the couch and recliner then, too -- it's just that this time I'm noticing it. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Not well unfortunately. I usually roll around in bed for 3-5 hours
after I go to bed, getting up to urinate every 30-90 minutes. I usually end up getting hungry around hour 2-3 and have to get up and get something to eat. Then back to bed it is to roll around from one side to the other for another hour before finally nod off. It's been pretty rough actually and I'm tired most of the time. I don't think it wouldn't be so bad if I could take naps during the day (I'm currently not working) but unfortunately that's something I've never been able to accomplish. I keep my poor DH up half the night and he ends up taking naps when he gets off work to try and catch up on some sleep. He even called in sick today because he wasn't asleep by 3:30am and had to get up by 7am to get ready for work. You mentioned leg cramps and luckily I haven't had any of those but do you have any shoulder pain? Before I got PG I ALWAYS slept on my stomach. Now sleeping on my sides all the time makes my shoulders really soar. Sleeping with a body pillow between my knees/legs has helped me to get comfortable but unfortunately hasn't helped me get to sleep any faster. It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't tired but I get really bored of lying in bed tired and not able to sleep.

You're not alone. Some nights I only wake up once to pee, others my own snoring wakes me up, mostly it's my arms and hands tingling and burning that wakes me up. I think it's just practice for when the baby comes... Cheers Alexis EDD 4/21/04 Beanie #1 |

Sleep patterns in 3rd tri
Hi there
I'm also at 29 weeks and some nights are great - maybe one toilet stop and I go back to sleep and other nights I wake at about 2am and that's it till the sun comes up and it's time to go to work. I haven't figured out why I can't sleep on those nights - I can just sympathize with you Camille "ChitaShines" wrote in message . com...

Sleep patterns in 3rd tri
I really for you all! I am in the same boat. I thought maybe I had a special
problem but everyone sounds just like me! It must be universal. My stomach is really big, and I can't even lay halfway on my stomach anymore. I really only sleep well on my stomach and was worried about the time that I'd have to start sleeping fully on my side. That has kind of resolved....ANY sleep that I am able to get feels good to me so I keep rolling around until I get comfortable (comfortable= no uncomfortable pressure on my side or stomach, no limbs going numb, breathing ok, diaphragm comfy etc), and then I manage to sleep a little. Heartburn isn't a major nightly problem yet BUT I have had some bad cases of it! I am just really most ucomfortable at the way I feel like I have a hard time catching my breath, and how my stomach is so big it feels like it's is a little sore around my ribs/diaphragm. I do keep my husband awake and when *I* finally get settled , he is snoring. (he snores when he is very tired, and he is very tired when he can't sleep well). He snores so bad. I am going to kick him into the guest bed...he'll probably happily go there, because I do keep him awake with my tossing all the time. I would go to the guest bed but I am more comfrtable in the bigger, firmer bed. It didn't matter until just recently, but now I am having a hard time getting comfrtable! I can't WAIT to have a flat stomach again! I don't CARE what I look like, it's 100% because it will feel SO good to sleep flat on my stomach again!!!! |

I forgot to add all the ways I wake up 1000 times during the night! To pee of course...sometimes only once or twice and sometimes it seems like hourly!! Unfortunately a lot of times I get very thristy near bedtime for water and drink several glasses right then, I can't help it...it is very thirsty!! My right hip and leg go numb with prickly icy hot sensations AND eventually start to hurt really bad if I don't move! My arms and hands tingle and go to sleep. I wake up feeling like I can't breathe. I am probably snoring, but definitely stuffy! Sometimes I wake up with a rapid heartbeat. Vivid dreams wake me up. Weird dreams. My husband snores and also....our bed suddenly seems too SMALL, not enough room for me, my stomach (which is an entity all on it's own now!!) my cat, and my husband. I can't tell you how many times I am trying to roll over, struggling with my stomach, and I elbow him in the face. Sometimes just insomnia...I want to watch tv because I can't stand to just lie there in the dark awake for hours. And.....hot flashes! I get so hot at night. |
