IV not slept for more than 3 hours for the last 2 nights im so tiered yet if I try and sleep I suddenly become wide awake and madam starts having a flaming party IV got myself two more pillows today to try and make me more comfy tonight. I tried having a bath before bed lazt night and no diffrence has anyone got any advice on getting to sleep? Xx
 
I have the same problem. Seems like every night at 3am I wake up and can't get back to sleep at all. So I get as comfy as poss on sofa with cushions and blankets. I'm lucky I'm on maternity leave now so can nap during the day. But it was a real struggle when I was still working. :-( hope you manage to get some proper sleep soon.xx
 
I was really struggling sleeping too, went on for about 2 weeks, but it's thankfully improved a bit now. I've been going to bed as late as I can (until I'm really tired) and also having a nice warm relaxing bath with a relaxing bath soak with a cup of hot milk :)

Not sure if that's whats actually helped, but I'm not going to risk it and stop doing it just in case haha

I go to bed about 12 ish try and go to sleep they I put a kiddy film on and kinda doze for an hour then need to get up for a wee so get up get bk into bed wide awake so come on here and face book generaly go to sleep about 6 am and wake up between 9-10 I'm on maternity too but if I try and sleep during the day I can't and end up getting really pissed off because I can't sleep then im wide awake again its poo xx
 
I posted a thread the other day about a candle i was given - that seems to have helped loads. Its by price - its called lullaby scent - it has camomile and lime try. I've just left it sitting without its lid on (its in a tin) - not lit on my bedside table the last couple of nights (i put the lid back on during the day so i dont get to used to it) - but once im comfy - ive not woken up at all during the night - not even to pee. (had a very full bladder when DH's alarm went off this morning).

might be worth a try. xxx
 
Have you tried a maternity pillow? This works wonders for me! Im lost without it now! I think I will end up continuing to use it even after the baby is born
 
Oo candle might be worth a try il see if I can get one. I'm going to mothercare on Saturday might try and perswade OH to buy me a maternity pillow xx
 
I've taken to sleeping on the sofa :(. However last night was the first night where I've slept pretty much all the way through and not woken up at 3am.
