Im 28 wks and up every singke night... cant sleep due to severe back and rib pains... I would be happy just to catch a couple of hrs here and there but that seems too good to be true these days

It was the same for me, but since 30 I've been sleeping like a baby, I feel like I could sleep for ages!

I'm 29wks as well and haven't been sleeping for awhile. I don't sleep more than 2 hours at a time either and every time I change positions I have to get up and pee. Everyone tells me that my little girl is just getting me ready for when she gets here lol. Good luck

I too have this problem. I have a huge body pillow that I sleep with in between my knees and that helps get me comfortable somewhat. I also sleep on a wedge pillow that helps with nighttime heartburn. But I only sleep at most two hours at a time because I have to get up and go pee. My doc told me I could take Tylenol pm or benadryl to help me get sleep. But I would double check with your doctor first. Hope this helps sleepless nights are the worst.
