Yeah I've got the full body pillow too - It certainly helps having it between my legs, but still no sleep.
And now to add another awful pregnancy symptom into the mix - I've just got a case of hemerrhoids today! =[ they totally snuck up on me as I'm not constipated and haven't had any straining at all - I guess it's just all that extra pressure down there =[ anyone else experiencing this or have any good remedies to fix up quick smart?
Shoot ask your dr for some sleeping pills!! Honestly I have had them for a few months now and only take them if I havent been getting much sleep but they leave me feeling totally refreshed in the morning. I will be 35 weeks on Wednesday. My dr prescribed ambien for me and it works great. I only take a half a pill. But I cant get comfortable with any pillows including body pillows. But sleep is only going to get worse. It doesnt hurt to ask for something. They will give you something thats not going to hurt your baby so there is no need to worry about that.
Lol well I'm only 23 weeks tomorrow...and my daughter constantly kicks my bladder at night to the point where I'm doubled over in pain trying to get to the bathroom....my legs constantly catch cramps due to pregnancy And constantly walking at work...about eight hours a day...and I too have awful heartburn,x plus with her turnijg flips and kicking me I need a glass of poor me tea :/
Im right there with ya ladies. Im just over the 36 week mark and have been having trouble sleeping my whole pregnancy, but it seems to be getting worse :( rolling over in bed is definitely a struggle!! I am up constantly peeing, having tons of pelvic pressure even when sitting/laying. On the plus side my acid reflux seems to have let up quite a bit. I have 26 days left, and it cant go fast enough!!
I swear I was not this uncomfy last time. My back is way worse this time and insomnia too. I gotta last 15 more days. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.
Id like a cup of poor me tea as well. Im 36 wks tomorrow and i feel ur pain ladies. Hips hurt but getting up every 2 hrs to pee hurts even more. Wiping IS a challenge lol. I too look like a beech wale that walks like a duck:))) my husband has a pet name for me as well! He calls me gloria from madagascar :)))
Pour me a cup of poor me tea! I'm 37 weeks tmrw. I constantly am tossing and turning. If not I'm getting up to pee which looks more like a beached whale rolling outta bed. I cannot imagine what my husband thinks when he looks at my fat self waddling all over the place. My 3 year old wants me to play with her, but I can't get up/down from the floor bc of back pain. I swear the c-section pain is way less than this. Hang in there girl. You are not alone!
I'm 26 weeks tomorrow so I'm starting to get there my biggest complaint is sinuses I'm constantly woken up cuz I can't breathe it ***** so bad :-(
I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and I'm totally feeling your pain!! I can't move from side to side without my hip cracking. I've been to the chiropractor a few times this pregnancy to get my pelvis back in line and it keeps popping back. It's super uncomfortable! The pillow between the knees kind of helps but not really.
The pelvic/pubic bone pain is totally worse at night...feels like someones kicked me in the crotch a few times. And getting up to pee is the WORST! I'm to the point where it's almost hard to reach to wipe! haha
Ahhh the joys!
Sleep will come to us in about 18 years!
Sounds like you need to add a body pillow to your preggo pillow ;) and have you tried the couch? And my mom said to keep ginger ale around as we age as women whether pregnant or not lol. She had me cracking up! She's like on top of having periods, being pregnant, and going through menopause, we have to deal with indigestion during it all with urinating problems during the entire lifespan! Lol then she's like women chose not to have kids STILL will feel every bit of body issues the rest of us feel, can't hide from it! Lol
Just some humor for you :) get your body pillow and ginger ale :)
