Insomnia solidarity thread

Good morning everyone! Who else can't sleep?!

I'm 38+2 today, slept badly last night (ended up in the spare bed, change of scene sometimes helps), and now I can't sleep tonight either. I figured an hour+ of tossing and turning (whilst staying on my left...) was enough, so I've given up and I'm back down on the sofa.

I'm ready for this baby to come now, just wanna get on with it... Feeling a bit fed up.

Aww I really feel for you. Hopefully not too much longer now and it'll all be worth it once baby arrives! I'm only 18 weeks and have terrible sleep due to my hips killing me as I'm only sleeping on my sides now. I dread it when I'm much bigger How do you even begin to get comfortable?!

Hi @Hodge85 - oh I feel for you, I see hip pain at about the same time. Are you playing around with different configurations of pillows? You don't need to wait until your bump needs supporting, the pillows are there to help you stay put. I've ended us using a dream genii backwards (with the long bit behind me), and a normal pillow in front of me and between my knees.

Ended up sleeping a mixture of on the sofa and then back to bed at 3am, but I feel like a piece of chewed string this morning!
