Me too I go to bed at 9pm and still don't get to sleep until 2am, seems like something gets switched off at 2am every morning then I can sleep until 4am (need a wee) then actually sleep ok until about 7.30am. I am so shattered at the mo, roll on labour!!!

Me too! I tried to get my dd to sleep from 7.30pm last night and I wanted to sleep too!

It didn't work, got up at 8.15, tried to get to bed again at 9.30, woke when hubby came to bed at 11, got cold so woke to turn off air con at midnight, got hot so woke to put aircon back on at 2am, 3am needed to pee, every half hour after that I needed to turn over and sleep on opposite side as hips were hurting. At 5am I needed to pee again, then back to turning over like a roasting chicken until we all got up at 6.30am.

Surprisingly I felt quite ok this morning, but when my dd had her midday nap I also slept for 2 hours! What a luxury

same i cnt get comfy fall asleep then wake up needin loo or just baby kickin loads which wakes me or im in pain , i cnt remember last time i had a full nights sleep

 

[MillieJoan]

No matter what time I go to bed, I never seem to fall asleep before 1 or 2 am (went to bed at 10 last night, fell asleep around 1:30 I think). And then yeah, wake up to pee a couple of hours later, and tend to just stay awake b/c of cramps/BH. Soooooo tired I don't even know what to do anymore--I know everyone says you get no sleep after baby's born, but at this point I'm willing to take my chances! (Come on, labor!!)

I was struggling after about 22 weeks so DH got me a body pillow - it's great! As long as I'm on my left side and cuddling that, I sleep much better. Except for when restless leg kicks in, grr....

 

[sarahloulou]

I'm totally with you I get restless legs and need to move them around or deep aching right in my muscles, I toss n turn and cos my bf has recently had an operation I'm very conscious of waking him up so I've been coming out to sleep on the sofa, I think I'm managing about four to five hours a night at most but broken up with loo breaks Zmd moving around! I just want labour and bubs out now x

 

[Gia7777]

I have no problem getting comfy, but it takes me 2 hrs to fall asleep, then I wake a short time later and watch the clock for another 2 hours!!! I finally fall asleep about 4am and am up for good at 6...so sleep deprived these days. And for some reason I fall asleep on my side but always wake up on my back now and am starting to get a sore back.

 

[happygal]

Im so tired! Come 7pm Im struggling to keep my eyes open but by the time our daughter gives in and goes to sleep Im wide awake again. I usually get to sleep between 12 and 1. Then during the night could be up 3/4 times a night with olivia and then she's up in the morning at 6! God, what i wouldn't give for a good nights sleep x

 

[Cornish]

I recently got a hypnotherapy relaxation cd and listen to it to get to sleep, it's brilliant but I wake around 12/1 and am then up for hours. Last night I got up and watched tv, didn't get bk to sleep until 5.30!
I know people say its in prep for birth but I honestly think I'll have more sleep when baby comes!
I also drink hot sweet milk before cd-but then that's an extra bathroom trip!

 

[SeaShells]

Oh how i would love to sleep for a couple of hours straight. Been like this for weeks now. when i finally drop off its only for an hour if Im lucky, then i might get few more mins on n off. Not sleeping is making my anxiety so much worse. DR suggested i take piriton for the sedative purpose n it helps a lil bit. And has even given me tamazepam!!! which Im terrified to take x

 

[lintu]

yep im going through a bad insomnia stage it did seem to resolve itself but is back worse than ever, I just can not seem to switch off or get comfy, when I do i cant stay in the position long enough to drop off cos i either need to pee or my hip starts to hurt

Thank god iv finished work so i can nap through the day otherwise id be like the living dead
