Oh, .I feel for you!! I had it all through my pregnancy and still do. I can fall asleep anywhere and anytime, but to stay asleep for longer than an hour is nearly impossible.
At least when you have a baby, you can use the ".I was checking on her/him" excuse.

I still don't sleep through the night, but now it's because .I realize .I have not checked on the baby in a while. He however sleeps, well, like a baby Laughing I can at least fall back to sleep, where when .I was pregnant .I couldn't. On the average night .I would say .I remember waking up 6-7 times a night.

your not alone. Mike snores, so when he was sleeping so soundly, snoring his head off, and .I couldn't sleep, .I wanted to smother him with the pillow (not really), but you know.

My dad was a classic when me and my sister were babies, he'd poke my mum if she didn't wake up Laughing his excuse was that my mum was breastfeeding, which works for my sister but she couldn't breastfeed me so he has no excuse Laughing

im so weird.. it really really bothers me he can sleep so well.
whats worse is that nothing in the world will wake him up.
i literally kick him, punch him, turn the lights on, talk on my phone, pinch him.. and he sleeps straight through the night, which i have a feeling means he wont be waking up over the baby crying..

i wake up if i hear a creak in the floor... im such a light sleeper already, which is why im having such a rough time pregnant.

I'm a really heavy sleeper, well i should say i was a really heavy sleeper. >Dom has it lucky because he won't be here when she wake up during the night, fair enough he couldn't feed her but it would be nice to have someone to chat to

I am so nervous about the whole thing. Just in case the procedure causes me to go into labor or I need an emergency c section (chances are low but you never know), I will have everything ready to go. I have my bags packed. My mom is actually coming tomorrow just in case. I really don't think he will turn but we will see. Less than 24 hours to go.

i'll be thinking about you!
if they do need to do a c section will they be scheduling you one early (that is if they dont need to do an emergency one at the time)
and is there a greater chance of your water breaking because it had broke before and resealed itself?
