Eat something filling, drink some non caffeinated tea and curl up in bed with pillows and watch a movie you’ve seen a few times

Buy a recliner if you dont already have one. Of you do, sleep in it. It was the only way I could sleep

My doctor told me I could take one Benadryl a night because I wasn’t sleeping at all. For days. It helped tremendously!

I haven’t slept the same in 11 years lol Rest while and when you can, cos you won’t when she’s here. Big body pillow helped me somewhat. Or try a pillow in between your legs… Helps with hip pain.

If your not running to hot , then put a soft fleece blanket in tbe dryer and wrap up while it’s hot and you will sleep .
Work for kids to , especially when they are sick . Not babies but kids .

I think it is the same for us all getting us ready to be a mum as we know the sleepless nights are ahead so think it is our body getting us ready, just sleep when you can during the day as you will when baby arrives x

Tylenol PM worked for me as I was unable to sleep once I got past 20weeks
