Third trimester insomnia

Does anyone have any tips for dealing with the not-sleeping part of third trimester?? Since 27 weeks I haven’t been able to sleep properly, even with a pregnancy pillow I can get 4 hours at best and an hour at worst! The few nights I have gotten to sleep I’ve woken up at least twice with bad dreams or pelvic pain.. does anyone have any great tips for this?? 🥴🥴

Ugh I’m almost 28 weeks and I’ve had the same thing. I’ve never had sleeping problems before and now I get so restless. One thing that’s helped a little bit is opening all the windows even when it’s cold. It helps me sleep. I also have an oil diffuser I put lavender oil in. Not eating too close to when I go to sleep seems to help as well.

At this point, I feel like a zombie every day because of a lack of sleep. Just rest when you can throughout the day or when you get home from work. For me, as soon as I get up to pee at night, I’m up for hours. I’m 37 weeks and soooooo uncomfortable and drained. I think it’s prepping me for motherhood lol

Unisom has helped me!

I felt better when I was more in an upright position. Not completely sitting up but I had 2-3 pillows under my neck and shoulders and on occasion I would also sleep in a recliner. It’s probably not the best thing to do but it let me get some sleep.

I take a dose of unisom every night before bed, it’s safe to take. I wake up a little tired in the mornings but it’s better than tired from not having slept. I’m only 20 weeks and the nights I don’t take it I’ll fall asleep right away but wake up at one and lay there until almost 3-4. So this has helped greatly.

I'm 34 weeks and have issues sleeping.. A hot chocolate or hot milk before bed sometimes helps.. And because I have pelvic gerdal pain I use a wheat bag n get my partner to rub my back... Hope this helps 😊

C section belly pain

Hi! My c section was December 2024. At my 6 week checkup, i shared i had this point tender pain like an inch above and maybe .25 inches to the right of my belly button. Got an ultrasound a nothing. 15 months later im still having this point tenderness. Sometimes the pain is more apparent, sometimes baby is held a certain way and i get pain there. Not sure if a nerve thing, an adhesion, something else? Anyway thought I would ask if anyone has dealt with something similar. Did you figure out what caused it?

What does labour feel like and when do you know it started?

I have two and a half weeks to go and I'm starting to get nervous about every pain or ache I get. What does it actually feel like/ where does the pain start or come from?

Movements at 31 weeks

Felt some big movements over the last few days but then much less today. Still had some movement but fewer and not as strong. Think baby has flipped so his back is now t the front but unsure. Anyone else had days with less movements as we approach the last few weeks ?

Upper stomach pain

37+3 got upper stomach pain like the ache you get after being sick and straining but it's been constant for hours now.

Bubba is breech so could it just be that he's having a stretch about? It's just making me feel crappy. Anyone else have this?

Implant?

Has anyone else had the implant in & has been bleeding constantly since? I had my baby in December & had the implant after, been bleeding constantly & probs 1/2 days clean in total. Really starting to annoy me, I know it’s one of the side effects but still 🤦🏻‍♀️ if you experienced this, what did you do? Did you tell the doctors or anything?
