Oh hunI was exactly the same at that stage up until she was born. Shes now 7 months old n sleeps 12 hours but I still cannot get to sleep until about 1 in the morning. Iv been told to try some lavender in a bath before I go to bed or put abit on ur pillow and maybe a bit if yoga which is obviously limited when u have a big bump in the way lol. I haven't tried these yet butggive them a go xxx

I am 32 weeks and am exactly the same have been like it the last 2 weeks,i feel so tired im in bed by 10 then i wake up at 3 every morning and just cant get back to sleep, ive tried everything the midwife recommended, warm bath with lavender before bed, horlicks etc but nothing works its really getting me down i feel like a zombie!! I think your right though its our babies preparing us for sleepless nights! Hope you find something that helps xx

I'm 30 weeks 4 days, I hav one good night sleep then th next I don't sleep maybe two hours, 3am is my wake up time too, I dont fight it now, I go make myself a decaf tea, watch tv, then sometimes I fall asleep around 6am till 8am.

Also for the last couple of weeks I wake up with hot flushes!

Awh I sympathise! I was exactly the same from about 26 weeks till about 33. Now 36 weeks and although my sleep isn't great, I do get a few hours here and there through the night.

Try propping a pillow under your bump and at your back to support you...I felt that helped.

Just remember its not long to go and it won't be such a shock to us all when can't arrives and is waking every few hours!

I know how you are feeling.. im 31 weeks and between heartburn, breathlessness, baby kicking and waking me and the heat I cant get a good nights sleep so tired at night im in bed at 10 then wake ready for a days work at 2am

So last night i through the head up and asked my partner to sleep in our spare room and I had the best nights sleep iv had in AGES!! I wasnt as warm, had the whole bed to toss about in and wasnt worried about waking him when getting up to use the bathroom was great.. same again tonight lol xxx
