Just wanted to have a rant as i feel i may need to scream. So im 19 weeks pregnant and suffered with insomnia pre getting pregnant well now its much worse and now im getting no more than 2/3 proper hours sleep a night. Since clocks have gone back my kids have decided anything from 5-6:30 is an ok time to get up. I could cry! Worse thing is i posted on FB this morning that my kids should realise this isnt acceptable lol. To have a friend say whats your problem me and my oh get up at half 5 every morning for work.... Actually correction you have your days off whereas i dont!! And if you so wish after work you can go straight to bed..i cant! Im just sooooo tired and getting rattier by the minute. Rant over

Tut, there's always one smug friend who has to make a comment isn't there. I think people who don't have kids look at it as an easy life just because you don't get up and physically go to work everyday. I used to think like that, but since falling pregnant and having a reality check on what life with a baby is going to be like, i think it's fair to say that it'll probably be a 24/7 job with no bank holidays or weekends!

Hope you manage to catch 40 winks soon hun, i dunno how i'll cope with lack of sleep. I'm a cranky bugger already if i don't get a solid 8 hours lol xxx

Have you tried to relax and have a nice scented bath? send the kids to your mums or get OH to watch them or take the out for a few hours. I know how you feel hun I hated not being able to sleep x

Lol thanks. Its just frustrating. Cant have a nap as Jake had a nap this morning and paige is back at home now from nursery having her nap now. Just hoping they have a reasonably early night tonight so i can at least attempt sleep lol

Unfortunately my mum and i dont really see eye to eye so thats a no no lol. Husband is on nights at moment so he is currently fast asleep in bed. Im so jealous. Its his last night shift tonight so i know i will get to have a "lie in" as such on thursday(well till 7:30 when i will have to sort paige out for school) xx

Sorry to hear about your mum hun. I have had a few ups and downs with my MIL.

I actually got my first full nights sleep last night with my son actually not waking up for a bottle, my BF was getting annoyed with the fact he is nearly 9 months and was still having about 4 bottle a night from 7pm - 7am. Found giving him supper helped .

I think you should make a nest on sofa and declare to your children dvd night in and cuddle up maybe you might all get alittle nap x

Definately sounds like a plan! Me and my mum get on ok, she just isnt the most of reliable of people and to be fair i hardly see her. Was thinking of asking docs if there was something they could give me to sleep but i dont think there is when you are pregnant. Will just have to look at alternative ways of relaxing to get to sleep x
