31 weeks and can't sleep

[LovelyNanny26]

I'm 31 weeks pregnant with baby number two and I can't seem to sleep anymore. I feel emotional too.

I’m 30 weeks with dc4 and I feel your pain! I can’t get comfortable enough to sleep for more than an hour or two and am so tired! Pregnancy is hard!

I'm 24 weeks and struggling in the early hours to get back to sleep after waking up to use the toilet.

Now trying to nap in daytime when feeling extra tired, somtimes i sleep better then too. Have you tried napping during day time@LovelyNanny26 and @Namechangedforthis60 to help you out a bit?

I’d love to nap but this is dc4 and work full time so the chances are few and far between unfortunately! DP is brilliant and does pretty much all the household chores but I’m still so tired!
My mantra is pregnancy is not forever 🤣

how are you both getting on?

Hah i wish my other half would do more around the house but his time at home is so badly limited now that he is busy with new business. I have let a lot of stuff like housework go to get this far. Some days better then others. Today has been a bad and feeling exausted day. I am very tempted to head to mum and dad's house in the mornings for a break and a nap but on second thoughts really need to clean the kitchen. And that would be 1 hour of driving there and back again plus traffic so maybe 1 hour 15 mins, and with this motion sickness i really dont want to bring myself to do it now.

I was a bit snappy with other half today. Regretting it a little. And i mean a little bit.

I understand now why so many mums just get on with doing it alone or with little support. Because even when you ask for it, it never really comes and you realise your just talking to yourself and you might as well just do what needs to be done yourself.

Sorry just needed to vent.

37+2 with my second, and can't sleep. I miss uninterrupted nights. Now it's either toddler wakes up, or my hips hurt, or reflux, or I need to pee. The latest fun is stuffy nose thanks to the cold toddler has kindly brought from nursery. I want to sleep but I can't 😭 Those who say 'oh, do all the sleeping now before baby comes' can all stuff it.

27+4, can’t sleep at the best of times but tonight is particularly bad. Up all night with a d+v bug 🤢😭😭

I'm peri-menopausal and the HRT is helping everything except the insomnia.

Enjoy your babies when they arrive ladies. On this day exactly 9 years ago I was in the final stages of labour with my second and last one. All the more reason I should be sleeping, really - in about an hour he's going to be up and wanting presents! 😆

My little one is now just over a week old and so sleep isnt happening much here still! It’s wonderful having a baby in the house again though! Hope everyone else is feeling good!
