Preggo-insomnia…

Welcome to the land of preggo-insomnia,
Where things are sweatier, 
and hungrier, 
and sometimes extra vomit-ier.
Night times are spent rolling in a stuffy duvet spin;
one leg out…
one leg in…
it won’t f@*king matter until you’re thin.
The second you get comfortable, 
your bladder decides it’s full,
Then your tiny vagina-passenger 
punches the shit out of your uterus-wall.
It seems there’s no position 
where your body will let you sleep,
With itching bits, 
humungo-tits, 
leg cramps and tingly feet.
Your easiest option is left hand side
and even that’s a chore,
As you sit awake for hours 
watching your bastard husband snore…
So welcome to the joys of preggo-insomnia,
With its nightmares, 
and its panicking, 
and occasional hypochondria.
You may just have to face it; 
you just can’t f@*king win,
So suck it up and focus on that first post-natal gin.
