Macca, hun, I was exactly the same. I was totally over it toward the end and was induced at 40w + 3d.
Get used to the sleepless nights though...I used to take my sleep for granted until Madeleine came along. Man, I have never been so tired but it's worth every second only to see them every day! And I wouldn't change it for the world mind you. She's now sleeping 10pm-6am which is heaven.
I really hope you can get sleep before your little one comes along, sleep all day if you can! LOL
hey macca im exactly the same as well hun plus i keep waking at 330am every morning the midwife reckons its my body clock getting ready for the baby feed time.
i know this might sound wierd so dont worry if u laugh my whole family did, but go try buy a yoga ball the other night i couldnt sleep so i grabbed my full body pilow and my ball and lied on my side on the pillow with my legs propped up on the ball i also se the bal to lay my head on it so its propped up and lay the rest of my body on the pillow. I found also with really bad leg cramps in the middle of the night to sit on the ball but place our head on your pillow on the bed.
If that doesnt work my friend said she used to sleep in the bath and was really comfy (i had to laugh at her on that one lol)
I have to say that I feel better knowing that I'm not alone in feeling this way. I have found that if I don't sleep during the day then i have a better sleep at night. DH has been great and rubs my hip when it starts to hurt at 3 am though I know his sleep is suffering too. I feel like Im just 'filling in time' till bub comes. I wish I could speed things up though.
Sweetie, I was exactly the same. Had really bad ligament tearing so was in so much pain with that; back pain; restless legs; itchy hands and feet; HEARTBURN like you wouldn't believe and the list goes on. BUT, now I miss being pregnant so much. I know I wished it away and was always saying "I am so over being pregnant", and now I realise how lovely it was and I do really miss it. I might be a freak and am probably on my own in feeling this way. I love my baby so much, but I really wish I had rested more while I had the chance (even though at the time it felt impossible to even sit let alone lay down). My point is, try to rest, relax and enjoy the last few weeks (you will be saying, yeah right!) but I am just saying TRY to do this, because your world will never be the same again when bubs finally arrives.
Oh, I also was looking forward to sleeping on my belly.............not happened yet. If you are planning to breastfeed like me, it is IMPOSSIBLE to sleep on them. It hurts too much lol!! So am still waiting for that lovely sleep I have dreamed about for so many months.
Good luck with the last of your pregnancy Macca and I hope it doesn't drag on too long for you.
OK - I'm joining you girls now... I'm almost over being pregnant. stupidly though I want some energy back and I know that when the little tyke comes along that is SOO not going to happen!
It's almost like I'm tired of things being about the same and am looking forward to a change (that is so going to bite me in the *ss).... Doesn't logically make sense, but it's how I'm feeling
