I'm not sure. It is probably a combination of the back and hip pain, heartburn, and an overall restless feeling. I can't settle down. I can't sit, stand, or lie down for long. I feel like I have to move constantly, but moving hurts because of my hips. It is very frustrating. I am worried if I don't get some rest I will not have the strength and energy I will need for labor, but I just can't sleep.

that is exactly how it is for me most pregnancies (this time so far it is not...so far!!!). That's why I always say that I sleep much MUCH better after baby comes then I do before they arrive. As for the strength you will need during labor, just remember that when the time comes your body will kick in with what you need. You may be exhausted for the labor part, but when it comes time to push I find that my body gets that adrenaline pumping and everything comes out just fine. Just try to relax as much as when we can...rest how you ca best...and don't wear yourself out.

We can't afford it.
It isn't just sciatic pain, but joint and muscle pain too.

I got 5 hours of sleep last night!! Yippee!! It doesn't seem like much compared to my usual 8-10 hours, but it is twice as much as I have been getting recently. I actually had the energy to take a shower, unload the dishwasher, and do a load of baby laundry.
Now I'm going to eat some lunch and try to take a nap. Even if I don't sleep I am going to make myself lie down for an hour.

Congratulations!
I was thinking of you last night. Can you stand in the shower to ease your muscles? Also, we have a home made rice bag, that when we heat it up, it helps with muscle relaxation.

I've read that it's not advisable in the 3rd trimester.
My doc had me taking Benadryl 'round the clock (every 4-6 hrs.) during my last few weeks to help take the edge off my PUPPPS.
Tylenol PM is OK though, isn't it? Or not?

I REALLY want to have this baby this weekend. Chris and I keep talking to him and trying to convince him to come out by tempting him with promises of lots of kisses and cuddles, plenty of yummy mommy milk, and fluffy cloth diapers, but it hasn't worked yet. LOL

What is your birth plan? Are you waiting for things to go natural? Or are you planning on inducing if he does not show up soon?

Emily all those things you are experiencing are part of the end, just hang in there as much as you can and try and enjoy yourself and do things for yourself because it sure gets hard once babe comes along :) Praying for you as I know how hard those last weeks can be!
