Answer 1

you are overdue honey...being pregnant is one thing, but having a baby be overdue...girl good luck

Answer 2

My due date is today, but i haven't been able to sleep for a while.  I can't get comfy no matter what I do.  I can't roll over without crying because my lower region hurts so bad.  Try sleeping with pillows propping you up though, also my Dr. said I can take Tylenol PM or benidryl to help me sleep.

Answer 3

Just try to relax. You more than likely can't sleep due to the anxiety and anticipation. Not to mention the fact that you are probably very uncomfortable right now :) My OB also told me I could take Tylenol PM to help me sleep. It is nothing more than Benadryl and Tylenol. If you are having pressure and cramping I would say put your bag in the car and be ready :)  Sounds like it will be soon!!!  

Answer 4

I went through the same thing for 5 days it was horrible. Eventually she came and I forgot all about the sleeplessness and the being uncomfortable. Just hang in there and try to stay relaxed as much as possible try to stay relaxed as much as possible. I got tea specifically designed for a night time relaxation it seemed to help me.
