Sleep!

How's everyone sleeping lately?

well me, horribly, my back hurts even when I put a pillow in between my legs. I really don't want to get the big pillows cause I still want to be able to hug DH at night and seriously this is the only thing that is keeping me away from buying it...

I keep waking up for the bathroom when I finally have reached a comfy spot and it starts all over again....sigh and then they say to get enough sleep during pregnancy since you will be sleep deprived once your LO comes....

Sleep!

I'm right there with you! I toss and turn for an hour every night before I go to sleep. I'm exhausted throughout the day and try not to nap so that I can fall right to sleep when the time comes but without fail I toss and turn. By the time I get comfortable I either have to pee or I get my restless leg and it drives me too crazy and I have to move. OR LO starts kicking and moving around and I have to move to calm him down.

Do you have a decorative pillow for your bed? I use one of those because they are smaller then regular pillows and put that between my legs. This way I can still get close to DH if I want to.

I've been avoiding using the pregnancy pillow too but at almost 28 weeks I think I might have no choice but to start using it.

Re: Sleep!

I do have decorative pillows I am going to try it!

Sleep!

For the 2nd trimester I slept pretty well - but now at 32 weeks I think the honeymoon is over. If I wake up to go to the bathroom or change position I usually fall back to sleep - but doing that 6 or 7 times a night is no fun! I don't remember how it feels to feel rested, and probably won't know again for several years!!

Re: Sleep!

i hate to say it i have slept 100% better since getting the snoogle. But if you dont want one try also wedging a pillow behind your back so you are still getting the back support. I have found a spot where Im not lying on my back but im also not really on my side because the pillow is supporting me

Re: Sleep!

yea I'm thinking I am going to have to buy one of those pillows if the other things fail

Re: Sleep!

I have a snoogle, and it does help, but at 32 weeks i sleep like crap no matter what!! My little one enjoys messing with my bladder by kicking me right when I'm about to fall asleep, then it's off to the bathroom!!! NOT FUN!!! I also have a dog who likes to wake me up all night to go out, he luckily has been good the past few nights! but during the week he sleeps most of day while DH and i are at work so he's up all night! I NEVER SLEEP!!! It sucks!!

Re: Sleep!

The snoogle is going to be huge for u though. Maybe try a pillow wedge

Sleep!

I am also in favor of the snoogle. I just got it 2 weeks ago at 19 weeks and it has really helped. I still wake up in the middle of the night to go pee, but I'm no longer waking up from tossing and turning or being uncomfortable.

Re: Sleep!

I haven't been sleeping well because my nose has been clogged for about a month. It's not congestion more just inflammation but it makes me snore and wakes me up cause I can't breathe.
