Get a relaxation/hypno birthing CD to listen to when you're trying to get back to sleep?

Or try eating sth just before you go to bed? I had a theory that low-blood sugar was causing me to wake early (and v nauseated). A bowl of cereal before bed helped a bit.

Someone on our antenatal thread has tried reflexology which helped.

Oh yes Whiteorchid's right - I often get up and grab something and that helps me get back to sleep. Try a banana, I think it's got something in it that helps you get back to sleep - works for me. Chocolate helps too, but is obviously very naughty..

I'm also burning lavender oil - but you're not allowed to do that til the very end of your pg.

Don't fight it. Relax, read a book, have a warm cocoa...it should help (it helped me and I was sleeping very well for the rest of my pregnancy).
