Are You Pregnant?

@Shikra

Actually I was thinking a couple of days ago how do pregnant girls manage to sleep? I guess I have the answer that they don’t?

The reason why I was wondering was because I sleep on my stomach (face and stomach down and back up facing the ceiling) and I can NOT sleep on my sides or facing up. It’s really hard to sleep facing up, so do girls usually sleep facing up during the pregnancy? Because they can’t sleep on their stomach obviously. If you sleep on your sides, doesn’t that bother you because all the weight is pulling your stomach down?

How do you get your sleep then? I can imagine how hard it can be, in addition to all other pains.

Congratz and best of luck to all the future mothers here.

Shikra I use to sleep just like you before having my pea in my pod . But now baby moves inside (kicks, rubs, hicups and all kinda stuff). It is very intense feeling yet wonderful. Sleeping on side is not a problem it give support to tummy on sides.

ILOVE, Congratulations. I just had my second daughter on April 13th…so just over 2 weeks ago. And i don’t miss the pregnancy aches and pains. The best position to sleep in is on your left side with a pillow between your knees or using a body pillow. This position takes pressure off hips and knees and allows baby to get the most amount of blood flow/oxygen. Do not sleep on your back.

I think the lack of sleep in the last trimester is nature preparing you for the arrival of the baby. You’re going to be sleep deprived once that little milk drinking, pooping, colicky thing comes into your life.

Thank you saimanyc. Congrats to you too on your lil one. How is it going with your little one? I can not wait to hold my baby in my arms.
Well, I do have body pillow and sleep on leftside BUT BUT the pelvic pressure and pelvic bones are increasing as days are coming closer and closer. It is causing too much pressure on my hips and its painful to sleep in any position. Sometime I wish night never comes… I really get tired around 3am-4am and then tiredness puts me on sleep. My doctor has okayed me to take “Tylon” to reduce pain. I take a dose of it everynite to get some help otherwise nothing is helping.. Well, I just pray all goes fine and DDay come soon with healthy baby(amen).
Thank you for listening.
TLC , Love to you lil one.

Me too, I am 35 weeks now and about five weeks left if baby comes on time..
I do get hip pain but not at night, instead usually when I am walking. Although at night there are other problems, like I can’t sleep on my back, go to the bathroom so many times at night and it’s hard to change sides. I always sleep on either side.
I wonder how sometimes people say that their baby came 2 weeks early…so I sometimes want mine to come a week or a few days earlier as well…just to get it over with.
I gained a lot of weight during the 2nd trimester but now I feel that my belly looks just as big as it was a month ago. I just worry why it became stable at the eighth month. I have only gained 20 pounds since I got pregnant.
How is everyone else doing with the weight?

hi Neera,
You should countinue to gain weight till your D DAY. 1/2 pound every week . Check with you doctor becuase its not normal. I wish you all the best with your lil joy. I have gained total 12lbs so far and gaining 1/2 lbs every week. I am want my baby be in time not before cuz i am not ready. Are you ready neera? Belly rub.

Re: Are You Pregnant?

Those of u who sleep on their tummies (pregnant or not)
don’t worry.
I am in the habit of sleeping on my tummy and I did up till the
5th month when I was pregnant with my daughter. My doc said
it was ok till I felt comfortable sleeping on my tummy. After the 5th
month I starting sleeping on side. This remained till a few months
after I had her cause I got used to it I think.

But now I am back on my tummy again and Luv it.

neera
I think u are doing fine. Stop worrying so much. All will be well.

Thank you saimanyc. Congrats to you too on your lil one. How is it going with your little one? I can not wait to hold my baby in my arms.
I really get tired around 3am-4am and then tiredness puts me on sleep.

Maya is doing very well. She’s a good sleeper Mashallah. She’s starting to get more alert now and is looking alittle more chubby. It’s cute to see how she’s starting to change little by little already. Pretty soon when your baby is born you won’t want to sleep at night. You’ll want to just stay up and watch him/her breathe and make cute little noises. But I went through the same thing as you did in the last month of pregnancy. I fell asleep around 4-5am also. But that’s what happens. Just remember that when the hospital offers you medication, take it, before, during and after delivery. Because the AFTER makes 3rd trimester pain seem like a joke.

If you have an episiotomy you’ll need a few days to recover and your feet and legs may get swollen. Take motrin. If you breastfeed, the contractions can be pretty bad. Take a percocet. I hope the delivery and recovery go well for you. I don’t mean to scare you so i won’t go into details.

How is everyone else doing with the weight?

Talking about weight, I’ve lost 6-7 kilos during the first trimester - last night I was worring about it and my tummy doesnt look ‘big’ but as I asked my doctor and she told me that the baby takes what it needs.
I can still sleep on my stomach with one leg slightly tilted to make it comfortable.
I’m in fourth month my nausea and fatigue has gone.

Re: Are You Pregnant?

I lost half a pound since my last week’s appointment. The doctor said, you are actually doing good and that your body is using everything that you are eating and not storing. But she said that the baby was measuring right on time so that’s all that matters.

So, I guess it’s all good. I wouldn’t have to work hard afterwards to lose the pregnancy weight:)

SadiaB, you still have about two more trimesters to go so you shouldn’t worry. I actually gained most weight during my 2nd trimester and nothing during the 3rd! I guess some people gain weight earlier during the preg. and some later. As they say that during the last month some people gain about 8-10 pounds. So just eat whatever your body requires. I dont overeat and I am still able to do fine.
