I'm up tonight because I have a chest infection and every time I lie down to sleep I start coughing. I'm also 34 weeks and knackered. It's not fun is it?

I do sort of. Nowhere near as bad as you though! It’s always Thursday night/Friday morning and I wake up between 3-4am. Sometimes I get back to sleep for half an hour or so and sometimes I don’t. I can’t imagine how tough it is functioning on such little sleep!
Might be worth seeing your GP? Don’t know though. Do you have any other children that need liking after during the day? Are you able to sleep during the day just not at night?

Hey, yes i have a 15 month old daughter! Lol im crazy i know!
I do go to bed when she naps and today i have managed to sleep that coupke of hours that she did but otherwise im not able to! Its definitely a GP appointment isnt it :/
I took a 'kwells' travel sickness tablet last night which im allowed whilst pregnant and seemed to work so well!
I hope this all stops for you hun! You may not be as bad, but its bad enough! :( xx

Definitely go see your GP, you don't need to suffer as there are medicines that are safe to take in pregnancy to help you sleep. It's the hormones that cause it, quite common but you seem to have it worse than most! Hope you get some help and get some sleep soon.
