I am DREADING bedtime..

This is terrible. I can't sleep at night. I can sleep solidly about 2 hours and then I'm up. I'm up to pee. I'm up to get a drink. I'm up to rotate and change positions 45 billion times. I'm up to push DH over onto his left side because he's snoring in my ear...... I just dread nighttime now. This is terrible. I'm a heartbeat away from taking one tylenol PM. I try to move to the couch but I'm a dork and I don't like sleeping away from DH when he's home (which is only on the weekends). It's just hopeless. I don't know how I'll make it through the next 10 weeks like this- I'll be a zombie.

I could of wrote this word for word! I feel the same way!!

Re: I am DREADING bedtime..

My Bumpil has helped me stay in one spot for the most part and it's small enough to move if I really need to. Some nights are better than others, but during the week I was so tired from work I was falling asleep before 9PM. I slept until about 3AM when I'd have to get up for a bathroom break. Last night I couldn't fall back to sleep, I was up from 3am till about 6am, then fell back to sleep until 10am. Thank God for weekends!

Re: I am DREADING bedtime..

For the last 6 weeks of my first pg, I had crazy insomnia, plus I was HUGE and uncomfortable.

I would lie awake in bed every night tossing and turning. At 5 am, I would watch the sun come up and the sprinklers go on. Then I would sleep like 5:30 am till 12 pm. Now that I have Ava, I won't be able to do that this time around...

Re: I am DREADING bedtime..

yep, and body pillows/extra pillows don't help much

I consider it a good night if I only get up to pee / get a drink 3X. Sometimes I'll get-up 6 times.

last night was mercifully not that bad. I only got-up a couple times, and I slept fairly solidly for almost 6 hours (besides the pee breaks). I woke-up at 6 am and then couldn't fall asleep again until 10AM.

The night prior was horrid. Literally maybe 2 hours of sleep, I was up all night, and went to the bathroom too many times to keep track.

Re: I am DREADING bedtime..

Add in heartburn and I could have written this!! I'm always so tired, but I dread going to bed at night!
I would try sleeping on the couch except I need my alarm clock to get up for work.

I feel the same way! I have loved my sleep all my life. My mom even said that I was a good sleeper as a baby!

And now I can't sleep at all and I am so frustrated and so tired!!!

I did take Tylenol PM a couple of times and that helped me get about 5-6 hours straight of sleep...
