sleepy  

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I am on bed rest and do almost nothing all day...I nap, knit, read, play on the computer, eat, and well that is about it. Oddly enough I am so tired. I nap and fall asleep way early. This has increased in the last week or so. Are any of you mamas that are still pregnant exhausted? I am secretly hoping that it is a sign that baby Orion will be here soon. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care ladies!

When are you due? Your probably full term by now, right? So do you need to be on bed rest still? If your full term, then its okay for baby to come anytime, right? Just wondering...

I'm pretty tired. Its just past 8 and I already want to go to bed. That's way early for me!

I'm really tired. That's mostly because I was up with DS for 4 hours night before last, and haven't had a chance to catch up on sleep. I may head to bed soon.

I've definitely noticed that I'm much more tired in the last week or so. When I was at the doctor yesterday, they found that I'm a bit anemic so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Its kind of discouraging though. I feel so tired and imagine that I'm going to continue to be so tired for who knows how long. I'd rather be tired with my baby then without

I am at term 39 weeks today. I am on bed rest for toxemia and blood pressure issues. I think part of the sleepiness is waking every hour or hour and a half to pee at night. I have also started waking up really hungry around 5:00. I eat and go back to sleep.

I haven't been sleeping well, so I have been soooo tired during the day, anytime I lay down I can fall asleep. Oddly enough I have this weird restlessness that goes with it, like an antsy feeling, but the sleepyness always wins.

I'm having exactly the same thing happen...sometimes I have to just get up & walk around the house a little before I can settle again. Unfortunately that restless feeling doesn't actually manifest as the energy to DO anything, just makes it hard to be still sometimes. PS Dimibella, happy EDD!

My midwife recommended Rescue Remedy and it seems to slow me down a bit. You may want to give it a try.

I've been sleeping a good 10 hours a night, too. Sucks because I'm matching my 3 yo for sleep so I don't get much time to myself. Tonight and last night have been the first times I haven't gone to bed with her in a while.
