getting comfy at night

[youngmum91]

so normally i dont have a problem with actually getting comfy at night! problems with sleeping and problems with moving due to the SPD but never with getting comfy! but last night i couldnt get comfy for the life of me! i tossed and turned for ages and felt really blurgh and just really strange! anyone else feel like this at this stage or could it possibly be a sign that shes getting ready to make an appearance? hoping for the latter! lol! also since last night i keep getting lots of sharp shooting pains through what feels like my cervix! they are enough to make me gasp! anyone else having these?

by the way im 39+1 weeks for those who dont know :)

awww bless that is really sweet of him! he obviously cares a hell of a lot about you! hes probably worried about you as well! if its never been this bad before he probably wants to check that you dont choke in the night!

i imagine you wont have to play it up at all! if your getting no sleep and feel as bad as you do i imagine it will be plastered over your face how bad your suffering! but yeh play it up and point out that you have experienced this before and that you KNOW from experience thats the only way to end it! put on the water works if needs be!lol! :)

It helps some.  It was helping more before I got this blasted cold/chest crap.  It also puts me on the other end of the house from the bedrooms so all my coughing and gagging noises don't wake everyone up.  But DH, bless his heart...has been sleeping out here on the couch so I'm not alone!!  

I plan to talk to my doc.  I'd really like to be able to go in for induction tomorrow morning.  Heck I'd really rather today but I doubt he'd do it that short notice.  I'll see what he says.  I'm raelly gonna play up this whole cold/sinus/throwing up/not being able to eat thing becuase I know from experience the only thing that is gonna help is to not be pregnant anymore.

does thr recliner help at all? that *****! id push for an induction at ur next appointment! u cant go on like this, go through labor then be expected to be in a fit state to look after a newborn plus the rest of your brood! its not fair on you! sending loads of labor dust and loads of mucous free dust!

I've been sleeping in the recliner.  Allergy meds don't do squat for me.  I've had sinus problems for so long I guess I just have a tolerence to most of them, the rest aren't strong enough.  The onyl thing that made it better with my last pregnancy was giving birth.

i hope the sweep works for you! i had one last thursday n no baby although i did have the show and have had stronger braxtons and the odd contraction! i think i have dilated some more as well! labor dust to you! your right these last weeks are the worse!

I've been having the same problems. I tossed and turned all night. I'm gunna beg my doctor to do a sweep today and see if that helps. I'm so ready for her to out right now. I hope you both can find relief soon as well. These last weeks are horrible.

[youngmum91]

there has to be something your doc can do! have you tried all the allergy medicines available? what made it better with your last pregnancy? have you tried sleeping upright on a lounger chair or somethin? youv probably tried all this just tying to think of things! :)

Thanks I really hope so too...I'm on miserable puppy right now.  I just want to curl up and sleep but I can't...a) I have DS2 and b) my sinuses and coughing prevent me from getting comfy and falling asleep.  

[youngmum91]

lol! i hated it! its completely out of the norm for me! these babies need to make an appearance now! lol! i hope your doc can do something for you at your appointment! labor is hard enough to do without felling like that! :)

I've felt like that for well over a week now.  I also get restless leg syndrom really bad
