No Sleep Makes Sianny an Emotional Old Thing
By Sianny » Posted Sep. 15, 2014 6:58am - 269 views - 6 comments
I sort of remember this from the first time and it happens about the same time, 24 weeks and its been 4 days of no sleep. When I do fall asleep I need to go to the loo, have a braxtons or I can't breath, hip pain or leg cramp, the usual joys of pregnancy (for which I am very grateful).
Yet the lack of sleep means I want to cry for no reason and tiny things become massive mountains, stupid things play on my mind and my pregnancy paranoia knocks it up a notch and that doesn't help the sleep.
I was please to read on a few forums that many women become insecure during their pregnancies, so I'm not as crazy as I feel.
Hubby just laughed and said he remembered the pyscho pregnant woman phase from last time, told me he loved me and kissed me goodnight. I sulked some more because if I wasn't going to get any sleep I might as well sulk and pout for a while.
It was all over a birthday message a girl left on his facebook, Now don't think this is a jealous thing just because it was a girl it was actually because she seemed to be mocking the status I posted wishing him a happy birthday.
Granted it was mushy but he's my husband, A little public display of affection isn't a bad thing. I have only met this girl once and have no clue if she thought she was funny or was trying to piss me off or maybe she thought it was sweet and clever. I just couldn't understand why she posted it.
Mind you I know her brother rather well and he's a little odd too so maybe its a family trait.
Anywhooo...
I'm still smiling though because I'm so close to 30 weeks mark where my midwife says that not only are the odds of preterm labor being controlled or stopped is high but also the survival rate of babies born at that time is also very good.
Don't get me wrong, it still freaks me out but I haven't had horrible pains or blood in some time and the braxtons, although still coming during the night, are just mildly uncomfortable and over an hour apart.
Tomorrow I turn 31 and I'm really hoping my mum bought the foot pamper kit I asked for as my feet really need a treat although I am concerned I'm not going to be able to reach them.
I wonder how good the 2yr old is at painting toe nails?

 | Comment from Sianny » Posted Sep. 19, 2014 11:51am I'm worried if I took something to help me sleep I wouldn't wake up to pee lol! Its the 3.30am toilet journey that wakes me up the most, can't go back to sleep after that. Honestly the lack of sleep has made my hormones almost uncontrollable. I've gotten a bit more since I upped the cushions and didn't drink so late in the evening. |
 | Comment from snolie14 » Posted Sep. 17, 2014 7:49am :-) I love your posts! I had insomnia my entire pregnancy UNTIL now...I am sleeping like a ROCK lately! The melatonin has REALLY helped a TON (ask your doc/midwife)! I feel SOOOOO much better. Here in the US, melatonin is over the counter herbal/vitamin shelf product. They have 3, 5 & 10 mg...I only take the 3 mg. I really hope you get some sleep, I know how that feels, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I can't say I understand the breathing, I don't have an issue with that (except being stuffy at night), and my hip pain went away after I stopped putting one leg in front of the other while on my sides (keeping ankles together). Hope you get some rest!!! :-) HUGS!!! |
| Comment from Sianny » Posted Sep. 16, 2014 2:19am Thanks sweetie. I managed to get a few hours last night but the 2yr old decided it was getting up time at 3am. Guess it was my birthday present lol. 31... I swear I'm still in my early 20s |
 | Comment from Ladysg » Posted Sep. 16, 2014 1:57am Ncohhh Sianny! You just made me smile hey...weird I know but I'm like almost in the same boat as you! I have been a lil insecure since I became so big and my belly is weird...so my poor DH has to deal with me most of the time w.r.t and he always tells me he loves me and reassures me there is no one more beautiful than I am right now...cute! With my last pregnancy...the no sleep hit me from the 7th month...I would just lay awake there in bed and then at work feel like I got hit by a truck come 10am...lol! So I am soooo hoping that it doesn't happen with this one. Glad you are coming so near that 30 week mark.... As for the 2 year old painting your toe nails...I would love to se that pic! But hubby can always help with the feet. Mine has already started...early I know....but he must also "enjoy" the pregnancy! Hahaha And a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! have a grand day! |
| Comment from Sianny » Posted Sep. 15, 2014 12:47pm Thank you hun. I thought the lack of breath might have been just me. Walking is like completing a marathon. So from Friday you're on the last leg of your journey, how exciting is that!!! |
 | Comment from aprilluvsmoz » Posted Sep. 15, 2014 12:39pm I am dealing with the no sleep as well. I cant breathe at all I feel like I cant take full breaths while laying down or walking. Ive also been having terrible dreams even some about giving birth. I think I am just getting nervous about everything. Thats exciting about the 30 weeks survival I will be excited about hitting that milestone on Friday! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY! |
