Oh sweet sleep
I miss you so much
I wake every hour to pee
A drop
I wake every night to a stab below the knee
Leg cramps- I won't miss you!
Nausea
Snoring
Heartburn
and Pee
Oh to avoid you?
I walk, I stretch, I drink
Water
And yet I wake and I wake to each little ache
Please oh body give me a break!
*I challenge you to write your own poem to the sleep you miss during pregnancy and easily show me up!

Oh My Body…Give Me Back My Sleep, PLEASE!
By Ilse Davison
Stomach cramps, leg cramps,
Muscle cramps, body cramps,
Nothing stays uncramped.
Nauseous when I’m up, nauseous when I’m down
Nauseous when I eat, nauseous when I sleep.
Nothing stays down.
Dreaming about two-headed babies, dreaming about 4 armed infants,
Dreaming about the disappearing binky, dreaming about weird people and places,
Dreaming about sleep, because dreaming is exhausting.
Laying down, sitting up,
Reading, writing, counting sheep,
None of it works, will I ever get sleep?
Glass of water, lay back down,
Husband snores, baby cries,
Wish I hadn’t been thirsty, now I have to pee!
Quiet for a moment, body calm,
Away I drift, blissful sleep here I come….ZZZzzz….
BEEP BEEP!!! Alarm goes off and up I am….
6 o’clock, another day begun…
