Up to this point I hadn't had any problems sleeping. Well I was in for a rude awakening! It seem as soon as I hit 23 weeks, sleep was all down hill from here. I can't get comfortable and it doesn't matter what position I try to lay in. I have never been the type to sleep on my back. But, I have been waking up in the middle of the night that way. Usually it's from numbness or tickling in my legs and arms that will wake me up. I have come to the theory that my stomach is making it hard for me to turn over completely, so I stop on my back. This past week I have even notice I will wake up on my sides and still have numbness. I wander if this is normal?
I tried to read about it online and it suggest to lay on your left side. But, as I said this isn't working either. I'm always so tired and have resorted into taking morning naps after my husband leaves for work. I have been trying to use a body pillow too. It seems to help sometimes, but not every night.
Oh and don't forget the multiple times of having to get up to go to the bathroom. I really think that the baby gets a kick out of using my bladder as her own personal punching bag! It seems like when I talk to anyone about it they just tell me that it's going to get worse, great! I have to keep reminding myself that it's only for a short while and well worth it in the end.
23 WEEKS AND COUNTING
