Sorry girl! I totally feel for you as I posted about my insomnia last night/this morning. And I still have 9+ weeks to go! I feel you on the bathroom trips and turning over. I am not exaggerating when I say I have to turn positions at least once every hour and go to the bathroom about every 2 hours at night.

I was a complete insomniac for most of my third trimester. I ended taking a nap almost every single day during the last month.

Have you tried sleeping on the couch? For me, I was able to sleep better there than in bed. My bed was too soft to make turning ove easy. Also, I took a benedryl each night and was able to get a solid 5-6 hours before waking up.

Yup that's why I'm up now...and once I'm awake it's super hard to fall back asleep.

I remember the horrid flip from one side to the other.... I was so big, I needed my DH to help push. That was not a very fun aspect of pregnancy. Don't worry, you are almost at the finish line!!!!

Right there with you at 36 weeks myself. SO READY!!! Ugh!

@BlueWolverine: My right hand is ALWAYS asleep! It doesn't even matter what side I'm on! So perplexing...

@BlueWolverine: do the unisom. When you go into labor you will be very happy you slept well beforehand! I took unisom for weeks and weeks during my pregnancy to battle morning sickness and LO is perfectly healthy. I was only 1cm and 50% effaced when I went into labor so things could start at any time.

But I agree with @bebefly: once the baby comes yes sleep is hard to come by but when baby sleeps at least you can finally get comfortable and sleep yourself!
