Will I ever sleep again?

[Natasha9511]

Just over 38 weeks pregnant and as you can see I’m wide awake but also exhausted. This has been going on for weeks now and I don’t know what to do. If I do get to sleep it’s like 3am and I’m woken up at 8am with birds chirping, go for a pee, and then I’m either wide awake AND knackered or I fall back asleep until like 12:30 when the postman wakes me 😭 I am exhausted and I don’t know what to do. I just want to be able to sleep at a normal time :(

Hi @Natasha9511, it is really frustrating! I found the following helpful (though not miracle cures!)

• Lavender spray on my pillow
• A bath before bed
• Lush sleepy time cream
• Really good ear plugs which block out noise

@BabyCJuly sounds similar to my evening too!! Last night of freedom😂 Definitely nervous as well 😊 we've got this 100%! Let's meet our babies today! I hope everything goes well please let me know when baby is here!!💙💕💃 xx

@boymum4 good luck!! ❤️❤️ All the nerves this morning. Currently having a cuddle with my cat lol! Xxx

@boymum4 same to you :):) let me know and I wish you the safest and happiest day ❤️

Good luck ladies in a few hours you will have your babies

Totally forgot I posted this thread! Good luck to all the ladies that are due and I’m sorry but I’m glad I’m not alone with this insomnia my partner is sympathetic but also can’t understand how I’m so tired when I don’t get up until 10am. It only took me an hour to get to sleep last night after lights out thank goodness. I’m trying to get myself into a routine of getting up, making the bed, eating breakfast, etc etc so I’ve got something to look forward to - how boring!! Not long to go thank god x
