Sleep!

15 Replies

Although I'm not loving the fact of sleepless nights I am loving the fact that as soon as my hits the pillow I am out for the count. .. no more backache no more restless legs. .. no more laying awake for ages wondering why I can't sleep! :)

SNAP.....at least when I go to bed i do sleep lol.... I spent hours awake when pregnant, far too much thinking time in my case lol.....! Hope you and little Jake are both well xx

Yes I know this feeling so well!!! I have so much better sleep than towards the end of my pregnancy!! I get so comfy, I sleep so deeply...it's beautiful. This is definitely better than the pregnancy sleep. Anyone who tries to say differently obviously didn't suffer with sleep while preggers :D x

Yes it is beautiful !!! I can lay on my front without being kicked from inside, no more 10 trips to the toilet or pelvic girdle pain and I can put my pants on without grunting like a wild hog lol xxx

Oh this has cheered me up no end!! Currently 36 weeks and surviving on about 2hours at the minute. Even though midwife said she was head down quite low on monday she then turned round and said she was also up in my ribcage?!?!?!?!?!?! Either way its making bedtime very uncomfortable haha.

Definetly sleep better now my lo is here I remember the days of pacing the house for hours at a time because everything hurts n surviving off an hour or 2s sleep n going in2 wrk practically on my knees with exhaustion! at least now when I get woken up i get to snuggle a beautiful little baby instead of just getting up to waddle to the bathroom again :)

Sleep is very different now, in pregnancy very very uncomfortable with pelvic girdle and up every few hours with peanut size bladder but only up got minutes. Now get few hours kip then up to feed for up to an hour sometimes, get a few hours then up again....prob is now I become fully awake during feed times, especially the 2nd one which might be around 5-5.30 depending on the earlier feed (no routine here at 7 wks). I don't think I would have minded the sleep distruption at the end of my pregnancy if it wasn't for the constant pain I was in, difference was I only had to to tend to so I could nap...I have not had an afternoon nap since bubba arrived x

I guess it's the way you look at the whole sleep method to be honest.

Even though I have "hopefully" just over a week until this LO arrives into our world i find getting up several times a night to pee very frustrating at times to the point I really want to just cry, but obviously once the baby's here I'll be woke up my her commands or cries by looking for a feed ( which at the moment sound perfectly reasonable) as I managed to get a bit of this thing called "Carpal tunnel syndrome" .

So to me sleep sound like it may "slightly improve" in the next few weeks :)
