I'll be 29 weeks tomorrow...and all of the sudden, I'm having a heck of a time sleeping! Not for any of the usual reasons, although I've got those, too. What's really bothering me is that every single night, I've started waking up between 2 and 3 am feeling SUPER hot and sweaty ( Read more... )

I had an emergency c-section on the morning of July 28th. The outer incision is vertical, and the uterine incision is horizontal. For the first 12 days after my daughter was born, I slept in a semi reclining position on our reclining couch, partly because it hurt the incision to sleep in bed and partly because my mom was here and was sleeping in ( Read more... )

Hey ladies! So I'm almost to the 6 month mark and I cannot sleep. I fall asleep fine, but wake up 2-3 times a night and sometimes can't go back to sleep at all. Sometimes I'm just awake and sometimes it's because I cannot get comfortable at all. Any advice?

I am currently 27 weeks pregnant. about 8 weeks ago i complained about my rib cage hurting to my doc. She said it was probably just my rib cage spreading. Okay cool. But its gotten worse. Like a million times worse. Like its keeping me up at night and driving me crazy because it hurts so bad. I think my depression has gotten worse because I'm not ( Read more... )

After an incident yesterday I started to think about sleep, on the adult end. For those of you who are heavy sleepers, did you have trouble waking up when the baby cried while you were sleeping? What about your spouse/SO?

This is probably a really dumb question to ask, but I'm curious. I keep hearing that babies tend to be born somewhat nocturnal because the movement of mom during the day puts them to sleep and the resting at night wakes them up ( Read more... )
