[lotsamommy5]

okay so i have always slept great an though i have had four other children i know you loose a little extra sleep at night but i am 31 1/2 wks pregnant with number 5 an i fee llike i just cant get any sleep at all. i actually fee llike i have insomnia or something now it started about 3 weeks ago. an i am to the point i feel like if i dotn get one good night of sleep i am heading over the edge. i almsot feel like i am at my breaking point. i fee lso bad an it is realyl startign to depress me I am so tired an wore out by morning im so cranky with my two oldest kids while taking them to school an i hate it that they go to school with my acting out towards them even though i dont mean to but i know i am. on top of that i have 2 children at home with me during the day an i know i must be a bore to them beign all i want to do is lay in bed(knowign i wont sleep) but i just dont have the energy to do any more then that. Its really starting to depress me an stress me out that im becoming a bad mom on a rude level. But just to top it off i honestly feel if i dont get any sleep at all im going to EXPLODE... What should i do?

Benadryl works well.. I take only half the dose so I am not so groggy in the am....

I am feeling the same way. I am almost 34 weeks and I have the hardest time sleeping at night because I just can't fall asleep. I work odd hours, 1-9pm and when I get home at night it is about 9:30pm and I don't get to sleep until about 2am or later....and I am getting up every 2 hours to pee..... When I wake up, I feel like crap and at work I am so tired.

My doctor told me to take benadryl.  Its preg category B so its safe, but you can always just call your docs office to make sure :D

They may even suggest or prescribe other stuff for ya.
