the discomforts of sleep

hey ladies....just wanted to check in and see how everybody else was sleeping....i am starting to have such a hard time getting comfortable....i have found that i have to elevate my body and sleep slanted....i cant put any extra weight on my left side or else i feel like i have pins and needles stabbing me and that is enough to wake me up....on my right side i think i pulled a muscle in my chest from bending over and picking up my daughter so i cant put any pressure there either

it makes for such a long night trying to get sleep....i know im having 2 babies but the exhaustion is catching up....i cant imagine this is going to get any better

how are you are all sleeping?

I am having a lot of trouble staying asleep. I get up 3-4 times a night to pee. Rolling over is painful, and have to have my husband to help me roll over, which has both of us awake! Its really weird but my baby seems to like bumping against my bladder only of a night time. He stretches and puts sooo much pressure on my lady bits. I am trying so hard to enjoy this pregnancy as it is my last.

sleep is def getting more difficult....some times i wake up with what feels like pins stabbing my left leg and lately i have been feeling a lot of discomfort in my chest on the right side so no matter what i feel like i cant win

my babies are pretty calm in the middle of the night so i can usually fall back asleep but once you i am awoken from sleep i feel like i didnt sleep at all no matter how much sleep i get after i fall back asleep

aah finally some 1 feeling my pains! I'm suffering..for the past two weeks I'v been sleeping for 3 − 5 hrs max per day...NOT fun. some times it feels like my rib cage is being pushed in by the mattress ..I hope its not too weird cuz it feels so lol my eyes r wide open when I'm up and that makes it difficult to go back to sleep...let alone the heartburn that kicks in right after waking up making it impossible to even try!..it gets better thu every time I feel my lil one kicking..lol still puts a smile on my face every time! hehe

As my belly keeps gettin bigger it is getting harder to sleep. She likes to get comfy on my right side so it hurts to sleep on my left side. she also likes to move right before I try and go to sleep. I also think that she is practicing karate or break dancing.
