    i cant sleep :(

    im 14 weeks pregnant and im waking up around 2am and not going back to sleep, i woke up today at 430am so that wasnt as bad,
    is anyone going through the same thing? or have you?
    is there anything i can do to stop it? i tried the milk thing, that worked for one night!
    i find myself falling asleep in the loungeroom around 830 and dh wakes me up so i can go to bed, should i be fighting it until im exhausted?

    Alish I woke at 11:30 pm last night wide awake for two hours! I had a hot cup of chamomile last night too so it didn't help! Maybe if your not working the next day ask your dh to leave you sleeping on the couch if you are comfy there? Then when you wake try the warm milk and go do bed? I really have no clue either I suffer through all my pg too! Good luck!

    I have this problem too, not helped by my children waking me 2 or 3 times during the night. Then it takes me ages to get back to sleep.

    BTW, I had a little freak out when I saw you posting in the second tri section! Are we that far already!

    Alish, I used to try and eat dinner early and then treat 8pm as my normal bedtime so that I would be ready and in bed by 8.30 so I could fall asleep and stay asleep there. I found it would wreck my pattern if DP woke me after I fell asleep on the couch so I made sure I was in bed before I was exhausted.
