Im almost due and not tired at night!?

Question

I got one more week left and Im not tired at night at all. Its like I wake up. Then I go to sleep all late. Im not reversing myself either. I try to go to bed, or like I get a couple of hours then Im tired all day then the night time comes and I cant sleep. Does this happen to other people?

Answer 1

I had this same problem. When the baby is close to the due date, hormones begin fluctuating even more than they were during the rest of the pregnancy. This is partly to help get the body ready to deliver. This change in hormones can cause an imbalance in the body, which can effect various functions, sleep included. I've been known to joke by saying it's the body's way of preparing you for sleep deprivation. This way, you already know what it's going to feel like to go on very little sleep. :D

However, if you're getting so little sleep that you can't function, or it's causing you great discomfort, I would call your doctor. He/she can give you better advice than any of us. :)

Answer 2

Oh yea and it's seem the closer I got to the due date the less I slept. The doctor said there is less room for the baby so there all up in your ribs, it makes it hard to walk, breathe, and sleep. So take naps as often as you can ans remember this is almost over.

Answer 3

I get that way. Not because of pregnancy but because of hormones. I'm up on Yahoo Answers right now because my cycle is telling me its about that time! (I get insomnia a few days before and then I am tired for three days straight!)

Answer 4

you may be depressed or in a deep thinking of something around you and about what you did. Just try to feel relax , take a book to read or boring cinema to watch on your cd.. i bet you will feel sleepy
