I'm the same, some nights i only get a hour sleep if that its so hard

not sure what to suggest other than don't go to bed until you are really dropping, i get so annoyed when i can't get to sleep and it makes it worse! x

Its nice to know I'm not on my own. Ill sit watching the soaps completly drained, etc but when I go to bed I'm wide awake and laying there for a gd 3/4 hrs.

I don't know if there's anything the dr can give me to help me sleep.

I'm like that! The other morning my partner got up with our son and I didn't get woken up until 11:30am with breakfast in bed, but I just wanted to stay there all day!
Think if I had the chance I would spend a whole week just sleeping

Me too! I usually only get up once to pee, but its more that its getting harder to get comfortable to fall asleep feom the beginning, after wakin up in the middle of the night randomly, and after peeing. Also the weird dreams dont help!

What about a pregnancy pillow? I use a body pillow sometimes which can help, just gives a little support to the belly and legs.

Me too. I think she's going through a growth spurt these past 5 days or so though. Today has been AWFUL for feeling achey. Yesterday I wasn't feeling all too great either. I'm hoping I'll get used to it soon & be able to sleep a tiny bit better....We'll see...

I can fall asleep no problem but then i wake up in the middle f the night to pee and I can't fall back asleep for like an hour an a half. The other day i woke up at 5:30 and I was still wide awake when the alarm went off at 6:30. It has nothing to do with being comfy, I just can't fall asleep again
