Pregnancy Woes
Normally, I wake up once during the night to use the bathroom, but last night I think I had to get up 3-4 times!!!!
I MISS SLEEPING. I've had problems sleeping since I got my BFP. Between uncomfortableness (and I've always slept on my stomach & face) and waking up to use the bathroom, I feel like I never get a restful night of sleep.
I can't wait to sleep on my stomach again!!
I also miss bending down without feeling strained and I miss walking without feeling like a crippled old man and I miss being able to cook and do the laundry quickly (now by big stomach gets in the way and if I stand too close or have the gas too high on the stove, my stomach gets too hot and if I reach in to get the laundry my stomach bashes up against machine).
I miss ordering whatever looks good off the menu without worrying about it. Everything I like always has off-limit cheeses, or is cooked with alcohol or contains other items that should be eaten in moderation/not at all.
13 more weeks of this!!!!

Re: Pregnancy Woes
i hear ya, I have been sleeping like crap for months now. I got the pregnancy pillow and it has helped some b/c i am a stomach sleeper and when I try to lay on my stomach LO doesnt like it and kicks like crazy. Then last night I got completely tangled in the pregnancy pillow and the sheets its a never ending cycle of sleeping like crap.

it really depends on a baby though, most babies are difficult in the beginning, first 3 months or so, but then they are fine and start STTN. Now if you get a kid like my DD you are in big trouble, my DD has been a horrible sleeper since the day she was born, she was torture for almost 4 years, yes, 4 YEARS! But first 2.5 years were nightmare, she never slept and neither did I .
I'm hoping that I have paid for all my sins by not sleeping for years , so this time around god will give me a calm baby who likes to sleep

Re: Pregnancy Woes
I didn't sleep for almost 2 years (the 10 m pregnant and then the 10 m DD was still waking overnight to eat until she finally started going 6:30 - 6:30 overnight sleeping)... and then 2 months later I got pregnant again and it started all over.
I'll sleep someday. But it doesn't really get better when the baby is here, sleep-wise. It just gets different and you get somewhat used to being a zombie.
I did sleep on the couch the last few weeks of my pregnancy and that helped a lot because I could prop in the corner which was more comfortable.

Hate to tell you it doesn't end in 13 weeks.
Good night sleep...not until they leave the house.
Cook and clean quickly.....not until they leave the house
Order whatever you want off the menu....you can after the baby but not if you BF or want to lose all the wieght.
basically you life will never be yours again!

. Sad but true! You should I enjoy the sleep you get now how ever infrequent it is because you really won't sleep once the baby gets here!

Agreed. I now understand why sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture for political prisoners.
