Sorry cant help - I'm the same just thought I would show some solidarity.

Totally know the feeling. I am so tired, but have heartburn and itchy arms and legs making sleep not really happen.

Sleep no longer exists in my world. I sleep when I can.
2 hours here 3 hours there. No matter what time of day.
If ur off from work sleep when ur body can. No matter if it's 1pm or 6pm.
Don't do what I did n fought against it til my body was so run down I was ill.

Yep i believe its that thing ppl can do when they lie down comfortably in bed (what is that?) Close their eyes and rarely wake up due to pain and wees! Nightmare, if u can sleep try it as and when u can i feel so sleepy now maybe body is trying to tell me something

I really hate to say this but I've found comfy positions and can sleep for 10 hours at a time, something I am taking full advantage of. I only get up to wee once in the night at the moment. So I'm gonna keep doing this and sleeping a much a ican because in a few weeks I bet it isn't going to be possible. X

I don't think I've had a proper nights sleep since August! So I know how you feel
Hope you get some rest soon chick, its so unfair x

I've not slept through a whole night since getting pregnant but now I can lie awake for hours...it's so frustrating!! Least I'm not at work now so can sleep in the day if I need to.

I can sleep as such, it's just the pain of tossing and turning now, it's such an effort. By the time i get comfy the alarm is going off telling me to get up! Roll on the 14 Jan till i can finish work.

yeah that is what I struggle with once I am comfy and provided I dont try to move then I am comfy but its when I try to toss and turn that I am in agony

I feel your pain, but im sure it will all be worth it when babys here won't it ??~ xx

It's soooo completely worth it but expect less sleep, not more once they're here! x

 

[Collette]

Its horrible, feeling tired and not being able to sleep. My problem is when i go to bed the same time as hubby, he will insist on pushing himself right up against my bump, i feel squashed...he takes up most of the bed and i lay dead straight on the edge, i do ask him to move and he does for a little while then moves back again. argh!

 

[amy samantha]

thanks all of you! I got to sleep at about 1am finally but woke myself up again at around 7
I hope all of you find some decent sleeping positions etc soon and can actually sleep a decent amount.
I will try to sleep whenever possible but I'm just one of those people who is very 'I can't possibly be tired yet, I haven't finished my 1000 jobs I've to do!' but thank you

lexi, don't hate to say it! you're very lucky and I hope the comfortable sleep lasts for you

and I know it will be well worth it when bub is here but I am just always soo tired haha
