Sleep in 3rd trimester

Hi Nicolette..I was also that desperate. My gynea also prescribe a very light sleeping pill. Half for 3days...just to get you mind and body in routine again.

Shame man. It is terrible and a person who has not gone through this will not truely understand what a person is going through.

Just tell her it will get better..

Thanks Hasie & Niki - I'll have those in a couple of weeks - so excited for my course!!
Joybaby - I think this girl is getting that desperate. I told her to discuss with her gynae at their next check-up.

I really struggled with this myself.
I think my mind was just so busy non stop.
I tried relaxtion technique, tea, warm bath etc but nothing helped.
Eventually doctor prescribed a light sleeping pill of which I took half a dose when needed. It was literally the only way I could do it, cos otherwise I'd still be awake at 3am.

But I dont think I'll allow myself to do that again this time. Want to do everything possible to ensure from my side that baby is healthy.

Just wrote a reply and it didn't post, let's try again ...

I must agree with Hasie, we fell asleep to the relaxation cd every night and I slept like the dead right up until the night I went into labour. My husband also slept really well.

I bought one of those big pregnancy pillows and it just irritated me, when I was really big I started sleeping on my left side with a small pillow under my belly and another small pillow between my legs.

Hope you get some resftul nights!

Hypnobirthing relaxation CDs, I slept very well every night!!
