Once during this pregnancy I went to the restroom in the middle of the night and when I woke up, I couldn't remember how I'd gotten back to my bed. I was so tired it was as if I was black out drunk. No memory from the bathroom to my bed. I'm so thankful for the sleep number bed we splurged on at tax time. I didn't think I'd reap the benefits until after baby was born because I figured I'd be super uncomfortable anyway. Well, I am uncomfortable  sometimes, but after sleeping on a super stiff bed at my mother in laws and then coming home, I am sooooo thankful

Tell me about it! I got up to pee at least 3 times last night and I actually felt like I slept better than I have been! Lol I'm just under 32 weeks.

Last visit I mention it to my Dr. He look at me like if I it was the first time he heard that but seems like more usual that what I thought :/ the other day I woke up at 1am in the need to use the restroom (I hate to use it at night) I end up not being able to go back to sleep.. I was so tired that day. It's horrible.

see this as practice for when baby arrives. you get into a pattern and get comfortable with lack of sleep. its a beautiful day when baby sleeps 8 hours and you realize you did too!

I know how you feel! im 28 weeks 2days. if i start falling asleep my legs will go crazy n need to move or i will wake up every 20mins for like 3 hrs then every hr on the hr for another 3 hrs then if i have to pee really bad i wake up totally! iv found pee like 12 times before u lay lay down for bed, get a thick feather down pillow for between your knees and i had an old smooched down body pillow that i put between my legs under my belly n kind of snuggle with it and then 2 blankets that i use to keep my arm up and then another normal pillow on top of it and use a body pillow for my normal pillow. lol i no it sounds crazy but i sleep that way but i still feel tired so if u need to take a nap when u can. also i do sleep on my left side most of the night i normally trade spots w my hubby a few times before finally sleeping thru the nite.
