Feeling so unsatisfied with sleep lately 😴

I feel like I’m so fed up of going to bed and just not feeling like I’m actually fully resting or getting my energy

I’m not getting into a super deep sleep and when I wake up I’m so tired and then I go for a wee 3 times a night and it’s just getting hard isn’t it 🥲❤️
also I’m so tired all day, nodding off and get in bed and can’t sleep for hours

still super in love with being pregnant and very grateful. I think because this is my last week at work and I’m just mentally drained by it I’m just not able to fully relax?

I know everyone says just you wait till you have a baby so I know I’m going to be up all night for god knows how long but still it would be nice to rest while I can lol

But the good news is, once you have the baby, when you sleep, you SLEEP! You actually rest. Of course broken sleep is a torture but hey 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

I've been getting to sleep at about 6am and waking up at 8am every day with my restless legs it's draining me. Only 4 weeks of work left 😅

I feel ya, I wake up loads and I'm awake for ages too it's frustrating 🤦🏼‍♀️

I feel this been going sleep at 6am in the morning because I really can’t sleep from rib pain then alarm is going off at 7.30 for the school run 😭

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this is just your body preparing you for your new life once baby is here! You sleep differently forever once you have a kid I swear, even when they eventually start actually sleeping (think my son was about 3 when he first slept through the night) you still sleep on a different level to before, you're always kind of half aware and half listening out for them. But if it helps, you do adjust to this new reality quickly and you'll surprise yourself how little sleep you actually need to survive!

I feel like it’s a different type of tired when baby is here. I was able to sleep when baby was sleeping with my first born.. will be a different story this time round as I have a toddler.

But I totally understand the not sleeping I can manage to nod off at 9pm and by 11 I’m away needing a wee and then I don’t feel like
I fully go back to sleep I wake up at every noise or my toddler waking me up or needing another wee. 😂

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
