cant seem to wake up

hi everyone
i am 33.5 weeks , other than normal aches and pains, i have been sleeping for the last 2 days, i just cant seem to wake up.
i have been awake for about 30mins now but i already want to go back to bed.
is this a normal? how long did it last? what can i do to wake up, my husband has had to stay home from work because i cant stay wake to take care of you other kids.
thanks for the help

 

Wow, good luck! I did not experience this, actually, I had the exact opposite. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. Maybe you should call your doctor. I know this may be a stupid question, but are you taking you prenatal vitamin? Just a thought!

Good luck!!!

 

yup. and im eating great, but im falling back to sleep in the middle of a sandwich

 

I also had the opposite problem! I couldn't sleep at all and my Dr finally prescribed me Ambien. I say sleep while you still can because after the LO's get here, sleep is not going to be easy to come by!

 

WOW! You´re lucky! I also have had problems sleeping and my Dr. prescribed Ambien....

 

I just told my nurse the same thing! I cannot wake up today. I did take my full dose of ambien around midnight last night and it's so rainy and dreary here today so I have literally napped ALL DAY! I finally sat up and got myself a cup of ice to munch on and a cookie to get my blood sugar going.

I say, enjoy the sleep while you can. If it's truly affecting your life and your household, talk with your doctor. Your little ones may be going through a growth spurt and zapping all of your energy. I'm hoping that's what's going on with mine...grow babies grow!!!

 

I had your problem to a certain degree - couldn't sleep too much at night but had to take four naps a day. My doc checked my iron levels (HbG) and they were really low. Now I'm taking a supplement and am much more awake. May be worth checking out...

 

that makes alot of sense. thank you

 

I also have trouble sleeping at night and then some days I am VERY sleepy during the day--but in my case I think the sleepiness was just because I was sleep-deprived in general.

 

You should call your doc if its affecting your ability to eat and manage a (though not evenftul) life. How are you today?

 

i went to bed after lunch and woke up at 4.30
its crazy, i went to my ob this morning and he sent me for blood work. my bp was high 138/96
guess ill know in a few days, it nice geting this rest but i dont feel revived. you would figure after 3 days of sleep i would feel like i had all the enerrgy in the world. ill let you know when the test come back what they say. thanks everyone
