I am 34 weeks and until a week ago I could sleep fine. Now I cannot sleep at all!! It's 9am and I still havent gone to bed. If it's not contractions or back/hip pain it's the baby kickin the c__p outta me!!!! My OB said I could take Benedryl I did and it still doesn't work. I miss sleeping.

Hang in there! I'm also 34 weeks, and while I can sleep, I always get up 4 or 5 times to pee, eat, or because the baby is kicking my ribs. What I can tell you that's helped me a little is exercising. I can't do what I used to be able to (obviously), but I really find that walking fast on a treadmill for 30 minutes, or going for a swim really helps me calm down enough to go to bed that night. It also relieves a lot of the swelling and makes me feel so much better than if I don't. It's such a pain to do it, but afterwards it's so worth it. Hope you get some sleep soon!

you can also try tylenol PM - it sort of works for me - you can also try unisom or ask the doctor about ambien. With my dd I was given ambien for the last week or two because I was not sleeping AT ALL. Unisom didn't do a thing for me either. It really does suck. I'm 34 weeks as well - and have to roll over every 1-2 hours because my legs/hips get numb because of all the weight or pressure or something.

My due date is June 1 (Im pretty sure I'll go before then or I kinda hope :) I am so ready-I try tylenol Pm and it does not work at all Im going to ask my ob next time. I wake up to pee at least 3 or 4 times and i habe to move b/c my hips get so sore I miss sleeping on my stomach!! Thats the only way I slept before and I can wait to do it again! I bet you are sooo ready to be done too lea the end is the roughest-Im like the meanest crabbiest thing especially the first 2 hours im awake!

i totally know what u guys are talking about. i counted 11 times i got up to go to the bathroom in one night. i think im just too excited about the baby to sleep. when i wake up my fingers and hands are totally numb and they kinda hurt. i pop my knuckles in the middle of the night so i know thats not helping. i use to take benedryl to sleep too. but it quit working. i still have a little ways left too so im hatin the night hours these days

hey , the pins and needles in your hands can be carpal tunnel. I got it SO bad with my dd that I couldn't move my fingers to even pull up the covers. :(
