3rd Trimester Sleep Deprived Momma!
I'm so tired, I can't sleep, I want to sleep on my tummy waaaaahhhhh! Every night I wake at 3:00 a.m. I'm so uncomfortable - 3 more months to go. I pee every 20 minutes, I need to take out a loan just for toilet paper. I drool when I sleep on my right side and snore (I end up waking myself up), pregnancy is just so not sexy, I feel like boudha. Big boobs (and I mean huge 38H/I) and a big belly. When I go to the maternity store to buy a bra they just laugh and send to the plus size store which by-the-way never has my size either. Ugh. Try fitting those puppies on a size 6/8 frame. I sat outside on the deck lounger the other day and almost couldn't get up, I was hoping none of the neighbours were poking their heads out the window. I gained 9lbs since last month! The nurse almost had a stroke and insisted on weighing me again in the nurses stations in front of everyone! I said, "It must have been that dozen of Krispy Kream dognuts I ate", then I said "That's why I have a jogging stroller". I've been taking 2 naps a day, thank goodness Matt hasn't dropped a nap yet, I'd be even more of a wreck. I can't wait for the weekend and dear hubby can have Matt for a day. I need to sleep in - just one day. Okay I'll stop whinning, I'm healthy, the baby is healthy and we have a great life. Thanks for listening.
I know how you feel. With my last ds I thought I was going to die of sleep deprivation because I was never comfortable no matter how I laid. I remember all too well getting up every 30 minutes to pee. I felt like a very big water balloon. I know you can't hardly wait to get it over but even as hard as the last one was it was my last and I still sometimes miss feeling him move around in my tummy. I don't miss the pain, swelling, and no sleep just feeling him move. So try to enjoy that part and it will all be over soon. Take care and sleep when you can.
The end of the pregnancy is just no fun. You just want it over with.
Awww, I am so sorry. I started feeling like that the last couple weeks. It is hard but you will have something wonderful to come from all this "torture"..lol I love sleeping on my tummy, and I did all the way to the last month..I just propped my leg up a little and I was fine. It is the only way I could sleep sound. I hate sleeping on my side, but I had to the last month..ugh!
I remember those day all to well. Have you tried getting your bras on line?

Hugs! It helped whenn I slept on my side with a body pillow. Gave me the feeling I was sleeping on my belly. It'll be over soon! Ame
I slept in the guest room my entire last trimester because my bed just didn't feel comfortable to me anymore. Maybe a couch or another bed (if you have one) would feel better to you? It's weird because that same spare bed now feels like a board to me! Hang in there!
