Q: Sleeping Dilemma

Well... I dont know how to sleep really bcuz its very comfortable on my back and stomache but on my back there is supposed to be less blood flow to my uterus, but I dont want to sleep on my stomache, and I was just wondering how does everyone else sleep. Oh and sometimes when I am like playing a game or watching tv I lay on my stomach but kinda semi on my stomache and I feel the baby move to a part where there seems like there is not much room.

Hey I sleep on my left side but sometimes its alot more comfortable to sleep on my right side. My doc said not to lay on my back cuz it pushes everything up to my chest and gets squished and I cant breathe that way. Sometimes I sleep on my left, wak up on my right then im on my stomach kinda when I wake up again, so I dont know lol

Ok ok ok so what you are saying is... There is no real way to sleep. I see now its just unpossible. Lol. Sometimes I wake up on my stomache too and I just turn over, and then I turn over again and again. But I fall asleep on my back or left. Thanks nikki!

Yeah he said I can lay on my back as long as im slightly elevated so my insides to get smooshed hehe. So the left side is best to sleep on.
Anyways my lil girl is good. Everyone still has a feeling its a boy so thats kinda scary lol. My sister refuses to buy things til she knows for sure, cuz she wants a boy. My next u/s around the beginning of september. My next visit is august 12 and then 2 weeks after that I can get an ultrasound. I think I should get like a third opinion just incase this lady dont know what shes doing, ya know? Hehe

wait where are you? What epidural guy? Im late arent i? Man let me catch up real quick

The epidural guy goes to your house?? Thats so cool! I was on the crapper last night cuz my stomach was hurting real bad (sorry tmi hahahaha) and I was like "man screw natural labor I need me an epidural, I cant handle pain!" forget that. I wish I could get 6! My sister got like 6 too, cuz then at the 7th month she had the baby lol. I have had..4 so far! Ill make 5 with my next one so thats kinda close.
Oh im not here on weekends. Im at home. Went to the salsa festival, danced then got depressed cuz I cant bust moves like them skinny girls lol, got hot so I got me an ice cream, ate some cake at my moms, it was my sisters birthday, got a headache from too many kids at my moms! Youd think she was running a daycare lol. Got some more ice cream to clear my headache...Then went home. How was your weekend?

Haha my weekend sucked! Barely any sleep... Stupid false contractions.. Yesterday I could barely walk from all the pain/pressure...
Lol! No the epidural guy dont come to my house! I wish! But here we only have one person who knows how to administer the epidural so when he was out o town, so many women had to go natural and had no choice and I was scared he wasnt gonna be back... I called the hospital and b**ched about it and they said that it all depends on what time and what day I go in to see if I get the epidural. Stupid eh?? Liek if the guy is tired and dont answer his phone, I could lose out on the epidural ahhhh! Lol!
Haha! I get jealous when I see skinny girls bustin their moves still... Gets me mad how icant be one of them anymore... Just wait.. One day.... Haha!

I still sleep on my tummy, but at a slant. I suround myself with pillows to make everything better.
