Didn't sleep so hot last night

For the first time, since becoming pregnant I had a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep last night. Little Jacob (or Lil Hammie as my brother is calling him) just would not settle down last night. When he is really active it causes some very painful cramping. I could swear the litle guy was pushing with his hands on one side of my stomach and legs on the other trying to make more room maybe or just testing his new boundaries. Last night is the first night that I just couldn't seem to get comfortable because of the cramping too. Doc says I was having BH so, I am assuming that is what happens when he gets active. My OB's office is closed today, not that I was thinking of calling them. But this morning the cramping is still coming and going. If this doesn't ease up by lunch, I may just have to give L&D a call to see if they want me to come in. My next OB appointment is Monday, but if this gets any worse or if it is still happening by lunch then I will definitely go and get checked out. Anyone else having night discomforts like this. I feel very tired and run down today after tossing and turning trying to find a comfy position.

Now, I feel lots better about it. It seems like I have been getting my best sleep during naps. Anyone else feel like that. I think if I could take about 3-4 naps a day than I would get a better quality of sleep than if I slept all night long.

You can count me in the "uncomfortable sleep (lack-there-of) Club"

I don't have the intense cramping, mine is more like a stabbing feeling in the vajayjay area.. It hurts and it is HIGHLY uncomfortable. I have had problems sleeping almost from the beginning. I am only 19 weeks and I know it gets worse..**SIGH**

Why is being pregnant so freaking uncomfortable? I haven't had any major changes in discharge, just the cramps I described above coupled with endless nights of interuppted sleep.. 21 more weeks to go.. I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's not sooo bad! I am just exhausted..   =)

I am too.  I havent been able to sleep well in several weeks, I just cant get comfortable due to back pain or cramps. I too have had a drastic increase in discharge, sometimes it feels like someone turned on the faucet and there is this big gush. Scares me sometimes, but always turns out to just be mucus. Normal I guess.  At least we can honestly say, we're half way there!

I have noticed an increase in my cervical discharge. It has been whitish but this seems to be more clear. Called the nurse she said the discharge sounds normal and because I have already been having braxton hicks not to worry unless the cramping becomes very painful. If I begin bleeding than to come in right away, but otherwise my discharge unless it has a smell to it is completely normal (No funky odor, smells normal). So, I need to go home this afternoon take me a nap and make hubby cook. Too bad cause it is his birthday. I wish I could cook for him instead. This really stinks.
