Okay, on top of the nesting, I have been up all stinking night long feeling so restless. I am so tired, but I can't sleep. I have tried to lay down so many times it isn't even funny. What is wrong with me? Any of you ever experience this?

Hello hun - its called nesting!!! Your body is also getting ready for when baby is here. Thats why you cant sleep! Youre going to be feeding every 3-4 hours, its your body kicking in. Its completely natural although exhausting. Try and get some rest hun.... and everything of the best with you and your bundle of joy xx

Nesting ... as in empty nest syndrome? If that's it then my answer is yes I go through this daily! or I should say nightly. I make quilts and other crafts, and end up sending them to the kids. And I have accumilated enough cloth and ribbon and lace,threads etc to start my own fabric shop. I took up beading, Now there are boxes of beads all over. Then I had this idea to play with clay! So I spent a lot of time sculpting clay dolls. I have finished 5 in the past 2 years. I have come to the conclusion that my home will be cleaner and more spce if I just sit here and answer questions. Since I can't sleep anyways! BTW my youngest 18 yrs old, just left the nest today so here I sit answering questions! at 3:21 Am

How far along in your pregnancy are you? As if your getting bigger and near the end then with the size of the baby you will be restless as you just can't get comfortable, try having a nice bath before you go to bed and have the radio on low or read a book in bed before you go to sleep as this kncks me out. Or do you have to prop up to sleep?

I sometimes get so tired I can't go to sleep. Try doing something you find totally boring that may help you go to sleep. If that doesn't work, try taking a warm bath, listen to soothing music or go for a walk. You sound pretty frustrated so you probably have a lot of stress hormones in your body right now and that can interfere with sleep.
Try avoiding things that stimulate like caffeine, exercise and television.
Hope this helps.

You're pregnant. I did that towards the end of both of my pregnancies. I'd been up for 2 days, but still had trouble just lying down. If you're anything like me, you should be having that baby pretty soon. Congratulations!
