38 Weeks Pregnant
Posted: 07-25-07 14:53pm

So today i am 38 weeks pregnant! I am so cranky and irritable today. It is so frustrating that i can't sleep. Now i understand when you have a baby you wake up a lot, but your baby is your reason for waking up usually. I can sleep all day if i want to and my eyes burn, but i can't sleep! I hate laying on my left side i can't take it anymore lol. If i sleep on my right my left leg and right hand goes numb. I've tried chamomille tea, hot milk, bath, pregnancy massage and nothing. Anyone going through the same thing or have any tips. I will be the happiest person, if this baby comes in a couple of days lol...

I am 39 weeks tomorrow and got pretty much the same aches and pains!! I have been finding it really hard to get comfortable in bed the last few nights too. I was doing fine but for some reason it feels as if my baby has moved and is lying right in my side! Grr! and as for the constant trips to the bathroom and jumping out of bed with cramp!! Evil or
Very Mad
I think getting cranky is all part of it! mixture of hormones and lack of sleep! Its like me yesterday, I was so grumpy and depressed I would have done anything to make this baby arrive but today I am feeling much calmer! Poor Chris is wondering whats going on!!
Sorry I cant give much advice with helping get some sleep but I am here if you need to moan! I think all three of us are going through pretty much the same thing!!

38 weeks pregnant
Posted: 04-28-08 11:50am

I am 38 weeks pregnant I absolutely hate the way I feel . I have always had my 1st two children early like 5 weeks early and both were 6 lbs 10 oz. I have to say I am gonna be having a big one this time, in fact I am scared because I had an episiotomy with rudy my 1st child and nevaeh my 20 month old came out but ripped me and she was only 6 lbs. this pregnancy I am gestational diabetic and carrying this one full term . I guess they were right every pregnancy is different but I wish it didn't hurt so bad. On top of all the health situations I have I have developed a yeast infection, so now I can say I'm itchy crampy , grumpy and top heavy. I can't sleep so i'm also sleepy dopey and drowsy. I'm just altogether irritated and even though i have not acted upon it I wish I could perform my own artificial rupture of membrane and get 'er done. I am 23 with 3 kids and the buck stops here i'm gonna tie my tubes and or mirena . Then I plan to adopt and get me another girl past the diaper stages once my husband and I are more fiancially stable.

I felt like that when I was pregnant.

These things offered relief:
I didn't take any naps during the day to try and get a full night's sleep.
I drank this stuff called "sleepytime tea," I think it's made by Celestial something
A lot of the times I had to sleep in our reclining chair because I could NOT get comfortable for anything.
Sex also helps. Smile

38 weeks pregnant on Friday
Posted: 04-29-08 11:06am

I will be 38 weeks this friday and for the past couple of weeks I have had a hard time sleeping at night. I do fine if I fall asleep on the couch, but I get the sweats at night. My hips start to hurt so I have to keep switching sides and my poor husband deals with the tossing and turning that I do all night. Poor thing, I wish it didn't wake him! Not to mention what seems like every hour waking up and having to go to the bathroom! lol! I sure hope that our little man gets here pretty soon, I might go crazy waiting on his due date.
