Woohoo! I'm so anti drugs that I don't think I'll be able to do it. If this happens 3x a week and the other 4 nights I get good rest, I think I can manage. We shall see.<br /> @bpcmarj: your due date is next week! So exciting. You can make it!<br /> @mom2b2agirl: ugh. I know, my husband has been taking Tylenol PM to sleep and I'm insanely jealous, as well. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122914 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:54:00 +0000 winniebee 122914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: awww nooo! You just feel like a zombie today : (. I couldn't fall asleep after over an hour in bed to took the other 1/2 of my unisom tab (allowed). Result? Slept 10 hours. I don't know how you feel about taking mess in pregnancy, but maybe ask your doc. If you had just a few weeks left I would stay stick it out, but you need some rest over the next 8ish wks!!</p> <p>@mom2b2agirl: Lol I would have sent him out alone!</p> <p>@bpcmarj: Wow just one more week til your dye date! So exiting! I think the worst part of pregnancy insomnia is worrying over whether you will fall asleep. I think that part at least for me might cause it in the first place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122895 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:33:58 +0000 bpcmarj 122895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also up early today, from 4:30-6. Stupid reflux/heartburn and the fact that it's just not as comfortable sleeping sitting up. I wind up laying down and then wake up feeling sick. Luckily, I went back to sleep for a couple of hours but I was worried I wouldn't when the sun started to come out. Due date in 1 week, so at most I have 3 more weeks of this. I think I can do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122887 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:14:08 +0000 mom2b2agirl 122887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: i woke up at 4am and DH told me he had been upnsince 1am and was sick so we ran to pharmacy to pick up some over the counter stuff to make him feel better and to sleep. Once we got home, he passed out so fast while i stayed up for another 2 hours LOL. Not fair. So jealous that he could take nyquil LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122836 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 02:37:56 +0000 mediagirl 122836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey look! It's 3am! Good morning! Unfortunately tonight is worse because I was worried about the husband. He woke up at 2,saw I was rolling over, and said the pain pill I gave him worked, and fell asleep finally. I, on the other hand, did not fall back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122226 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:15:22 +0000 winniebee 122226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: It's usually just that I can't fall asleep - I blame that on hormones. I'm tired but I just can't sleep. Then, I wake up every hour or two b/c I'm uncomfortable or have to pee. So glorious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122223 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:13:28 +0000 BSB 122223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww I'm sorry. Is it because you are uncomfortable or because the baby is really active? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122178 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:09:05 +0000 heffalump 122178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: At least you have hope that eventually you'll be a good sleeper again then. I've never been a good sleeper, my mind goes crazy at night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122170 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:56:56 +0000 stiffaknee 122170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl, ive been sleeping really well, surprisingly. I have my blood pressure taken and fetal monitor hooked up around 10 or 10:30, and then the next time they wake me up is 6:30 for blood work. I think they come in at 3 or so and take my blood pressure, but (thanks to the ambien) it doesnt wake me up!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122160 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:50:47 +0000 mediagirl 122160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: YES! Thanks for the advice. You're so wise. :-\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122156 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:47:33 +0000 mediagirl 122156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: YES!

I'm glad you're okay. Are you actually able to get good rest in the hospital or do you have nurses waking you up every couple hours? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122149 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:41:14 +0000 winniebee 122149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: As in, pretty much impossible! Pre-pregnancy I was SUCH a good sleeper. DH is baffled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122148 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:40:42 +0000 heffalump 122148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated when people said to sleep now before the baby comes. Like it's that easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122147 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:40:14 +0000 winniebee 122147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiffaknee: Ugh, sorry to hear that!! But you are SO close to full term - will they induce you next week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122143 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:37:06 +0000 stiffaknee 122143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee- yep! My doctor wasnt seeing the results she would have liked from me resting at home, plus my blood pressure has gone up, so they admitted me to the hospital on thursday. Ill be 37 weeks on wednesday, so hopefully i wont be here too much longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122132 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:32:55 +0000 winniebee 122132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiffaknee: When I was in the hospital, I had ambien and didn't love it : ( I have taken 1/2 Unisom since around 24 weeks and it's worked pretty well up until a week ago. Ugh! Are you still in the hospital/on bedrest? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122129 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:30:45 +0000 stiffaknee 122129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was having sleep issues too...and then i got admitted to the hospital (and as a result, got an order for ambien!) and havent had an issue since! Not sure if thats what your doctor ok'd, but if not, ambien has been a life saver for this soon to be mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122128 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:29:44 +0000 chopsuey 122128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad baby is still in the oven!! :D And yes.. Sleep will never be the same again.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122124 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:06:57 +0000 regberadaisy 122124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, I hear ya. As someone who can literally sleep anywhere whenever sleeping issues is a new problem!!!<br /> I wake up almost every hour to pee or from my rib cage pain or from leg spasms. Fun times! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122121 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 08:49:54 +0000 MsMini 122121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Thanks! I am sure I will. I have lots of shopping and visiting to do before I even get to shower time, so hopefully I can try to squeeze a nap in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122095 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:46:18 +0000 winniebee 122095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: Ugh, sorry you are suffering too - hope you have a good time at your shower nonetheless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122089 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:38:14 +0000 MsMini 122089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to bed at 1am, got up like 3 times to pee, it is 6:30 and I am up for the day, unfortunately it is a packed day, so I might not have good amounts of time for a nap :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122065 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 06:55:35 +0000 tequiero21 122065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldnt sleep on a bed! Had to sleep on the recliner. Even now, I'm sleeping on the recliner.... Getting better though. Yay@34 weeks! Slowly but surely. Good luck getting some rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122038 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:41:09 +0000 Andrea 122038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: It might be worth trying it early in the day! You know how babies can't sleep if they are over tired? I find that this happens to me, too, so maybe put yourself down for a nap early. Hehe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122036 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:38:37 +0000 winniebee 122036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: is 630 am too early to have some?? ; ). I guess it is breakfast time first... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122034 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:34:53 +0000 Andrea 122034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: :-D. My problem was that I could not sleep after giving birth as I was just so high on adrenaline. DH gave me a tiny bit of whisky to fall asleep at night after I nursed. It worked like a charm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122032 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:32:53 +0000 autumnlove 122032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry! I hated restless nights with a big old belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122031 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:32:03 +0000 winniebee 122031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm going to try it ; )</p> <p>@mediagirl: I haven't allowed myself to be over it yet since ive just wanted him to keep cooking! In 2 weeks I will be just "done" though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-sleep-sucks#post-122029 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:31:05 +0000 mediagirl 122029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @winniebee: ooo even better! A warm bath and 4oz of wine. I think that if I couldn't fall asleep, I'd try all of that! </p>
