I miss sleep

So ive been contracting for what seems like forever. I feel like im in a daze. I dont think 3-4 hours a night is good for the baby or I, Has anyone ever delt with? Any advice?

One good thing about this website is I have company lol

Yeah, I was in labor for over 24 hours with my youngest, and I didn't sleep at all, even after the epidural. By the time they told me I was ready to push, I couldn't even keep my eyes open. It sucked.
DD and I took a long ass nap after got into post partum, though.

Ugghh! I know that feeling!

Although I'm not having contractions (Besides Braxton Hicks), I haven't slept properly in a LONG time. Probably months now. I literally sleep like 2 hours at a time (If I'm lucky). I went to bed this morning at 4:30 and got up at 6:15. It sucks!!! I used to enjoy sleeping, and love comfy naps...now even the sleep I do get sucks.

I've tried everything...I think I have probably created the most comfortable bed possible...big fluffy down comforter, 6inch lifts, all white bedding....lotsa pillows. I even went out and bought the pregnancy pillow "The snoogle"....I have candles, one of those little waterfall things....lavender spray....music.... and I always take a warm bath before I lay down..NOTHING helps! I've tried benadryl...which does make me tired...but my issues isn't falling asleep, it's staying that way. Benadryl doesn't help with that.

Good luck, and I hope you get some rest soon!!!
