This past month I havent been sleeping
properly. Im extremely exhausted during
the day but as soon as I hit bed I just
cant seem to fall asleep. Because of this
im getting kind of like "cramps" on the
lower and upper part of my stomach (just
below and above my tummy) im afraid that
the lack of sleep is hurting my baby. I
have an appointment with the doctor
tomorrow. I have talked about the sleep
before but all he could do was suggest a
few days off of work (sleeping pills can
harm the baby) but it didnt help. Has
anyone been through this? Im afraid and
the stress from this is just keeping me up
more. Help

Not Sleeping Well.... Posted: 11-03-03 21:52pm
Monroe,
how far along are you?
At a certain stage of your pregnancy, lack
of sleep is pretty common.
I'm not sure if sleepless nights could
hurt your baby, but I do know that stress
is not healthy for either of you. Are you
not sleeping well due to pain, or is your
mind just going and going all night?
When I was pregnant with my first child, I
was totally alone. I stayed awake every
night because I was scared and depressed,
( not to mention confused). If that may
be to blame, than you may want to talk
about what is bothering you.
I'm here for ya,
marissa
