I just woke up after a 3hr nap & feel groggy but good for the first time in days. I wake up early every day for work (5.30am) & this morning was up at 4am & have noticed the last week or two that I can hardly stay awake after 8pm. I was told to start napping in the day but a bit difficult when you work full time & I have never been a day sleeper but if todays nap is anything to go by I might take it up

Anyone else started gaving a little siesta? And if yes, how do you fit it in?

p.s I am 26+5

Oh my god, i get so tired, i have to go to uni and work and its too much. Cant wait 2 take maternity leave at 34 weeks. . I just go 2 sleep soon as i get home but i cant sleep all through night at all. So uncomfortable (im nearly 30 weeks) x x x

Yes my mind is not like my own. . i totally messed up my most important assignment for uni. They r allowing me to re-take it, i told them pregnancy is messing with my head! I am very forgetful too, which i have never been before. x x

sophia sounds like you got your hands full with work & uni. Is there any way to have a couple of hrs once you get in then set an alarm to wake up for a few more hours. I too wake up so early cause I am sleeping so early but am trying now to get back into a "normal" pattern so am going to start finishing work at 5 & try to sleep for an hour or 2 then get up have dinner & go to bed around 11. Dunno if it will work but I am going to try.

Hello girls if its any comfort heard that u tend to forget a lot when u are pregnant dont know how true that is but happens to me sometimes.
Beebee, find it hard to sleep most nights but then look forward to sitting by the window in the train to catch a few naps in the morning
So wats up Sophiacooper?am in Uni as well are u planning to take sometime out anytime soon??
Am 31 weeks and dont find it funny waking up early to rush to sch these days.

I try but i ignore my alarm and go back to sleep, then i find myself waking up few times in the night, i cannot get comfy in bed. I bought a body pillow from mothercare its helped a bit. . it makes me feel really irritable not gettin enough sleep! x

Hi maureen. . yeah hopefully i will take a year out, but dont want to fall behind with my studies too much!! My maternity leave at work starts when im 34 weeks. . i am so not a morning person though x x

Hello Sophiacooper,Hoping to take sometime from Uni perhaps nxt month - baby will be due in April then resume again in September understand about not wanting to fall behind so much in yr studies but then "sometins gotta giv"

i know, my baby will always come before uni and work. . but i dont want to fall behind and have to start again! But id rather miss my uni work than my baby growing up. . im so excited to meet baby theo. when ru due? im due may 2nd. . x x cant wait x x

Mine is due on April 12th but keep hoping it will come on the 30th of March that will be a wonderful birthday gift for my husband besides April seems a long time from now

I always fall asleep in the day at weekends. I used to think it was because I don't do a lot. (I'm very lazy and I get up late and sit on the sofa all day watching telly!), but then, even when I get up early on a Saturay and go out and do stuff, i'll get home and practically pass out! I don't nap so much in the week as i'm still managing to sleep all night, pretty much. (I'm only 22 weeks). I've had one of those body pillows from about the first week I found out I was pregnant as my boobs hurt to much to sleep on my front. I've also been completley useless at work and they have actually had 'words' with me about it, but i just can't seem to force my brain into action. it's really bad too, because it's the kind of job that dmands a good memory and you need to be on te ball all the time! I can't wait till i leave at the end of May!

Maureen. . Im due may 2nd it seems a lifetime away now!! Your not that far away really though. . . have you any other children? This is my first x x

I have a body pillow its the beat thing i have bought so far id be lost without it!! I know how you feel though, i get so tired and feel drained which im so not used to. I start maternity leave at 34 wks (am nearly 30 now) is there anything u can take to help u sleep? I need 2 find something x x

I take chocolate drink when am abt to sleep helps sometimes though have to get up to go to the loo thus distrupting the sleep most times I just lie in bed and tink of every good thought till I sleep off. This is my first baby too so all these experiences are new to me

Me too maureen, its all so new and strange to me. I cant explain how i feeling, i cry at anything aswell!!! I try horlicks sometimes 2 try help me slep but all it does is make me wee more!! x x
