Whats happening? A sleep deprived mummying Plea for help!!!

[BrightSparkles]

I can't do this anymore!!!!
DD is waking anywhere from 5 to 8 times a night at the moment.
This has been going on for a week now. At first I put it down to her being sick, now when she gets up she just wants to play. I do the same the routine when she first went to a bed
I go in, say nothing, put her back into her bed and walk back out closing the door. She just keeps screaming and screaming. This can go on for hours!!!
When she's in full screaming mode she'll be throwing herself on the floor, pulling her hair and spitting (her usual tantrum).
I haven't changed her diet in anyway from previously, same bedtime routine we've had forever. I don't know what else to do. I'm exhausted and jsut want her to go to sleep and not wake up and scream!!!!

I have probably done the wrong thing putting her in a bed (or so my mother keeps telling me) but the fact is thats what i've done - i can't go back now, especially with a new baby due in 6 weeks.

Please Please help me!!! I don't know what else to do!!!! I've tried bring her into bed with us but she won't do that either. I can't keep going like this
I can feel myself getting angry and frustrated with her from the minute we get up (lately about 5am) and i don't like that feeling. I feel like a bad mum when I do because I've never been like that.
(i'm so tired I can even type the title of the thread properly )
