5 days overdue and can’t sleep!

[Chinup90]

Hi I am currently 5 days overdue with my first child. For the last few night I haven’t been able to sleep well and am quite worried when labour starts I am going to be exhausted! Is anyone else having this problem??

I’m sorry to hear you’re not getting any sleep OP. I’ve only just hit the third trimester and already having very broken sleep due to lots of nocturnal kicking, so totally understand your worry. My obstetrician recommended brisk walks followed by total rest lying completely on the side to give the pelvic floor muscles a rest, as well as pregnancy massage if you can find one to book into.

Ps. Good luck for the delivery!
