Anyone else joyously slogging through the night with pregnancy insomnia?

Mine went away for a couple of weeks but now it's back with a vengeance.

Making the most of it though with a midnight snack and baby is wiggling heroically!

Be back in a sec, time to pee again.

(I think I've gone a bit funny you know...)

Not there now. But I was!
The worst is people saying 'sleep whilst you can - youre gonna need it'. Yes thank you the hours I'm missing out on now are really going to matter when I've given birth.
Find a good Netflix series, refold baby clothes, whatever you can, then when you feel a bit tired get back into bed, try not to associate your bed with not sleeping. It might help.
A hot bath used to make me feel a tiny weeny bit tired.

MrsKnackered Your NN is very apt for this thread!

Thanks for the advice! I'll start putting it into practice and see if it makes a difference.

ANYONE suggesting that I must "make sure I'm getting my sleep in now" are getting the death stare.
