Annnnd the uncomfortable, restless, sleepless nights have returned 😪 Anyone else gone/going through this? What's the best way to help get to sleep? I'm so exhausted from minimal sleep in about a week 💀😴 please help me!!
@carlyanaya, I love feeling baby moving around but sometimes it's like, can you please just calm down and maybe sleep for a little bit? Haha who knows what I'm in for once bubs in born! Haha
@kayleighandpeanut, I know how you feel, my little one was super active too. Yeah give it a try :)
@carlyanaya, unfortunately for my sleeping state baby doesn't stop moving or kicking ever. I have a very active baby in there! Haha ooo I'll have a try of melatonin and I'll get some lavender oil. Thanks lovely! ❣
Actually my mum takes melatonin to help her sleep! It's a chemical that the body produces to switch the brain off so maybe you could give it a try? Otherwise lavender oil helps with sleep, you could try burning it
Oh yeah pregnancy definitely has its joys .. I didn't enjoy it haha. Can you nap in the day when baby is less active?
@carlyanaya, yeah I know :( I've tried body pillows, big thick pillows, different positions. I end up just being so tired that I pass out and don't even realise but still wake up after a bit because I need to pee or I'm in an uncomfortable position for baby because i get kicked until it's all good for him/her. Oh the joys!
Yeah it's hard not to sleep on your belly when your used to that :( I hope you can get comfortable coz unfortunately it gets so much he worse towards the end. Have you tried the body pillows?
@carlyanaya, it's just any way I lay like on either side or my back. And then baby will start kicking and moving around like crazy which is hurting. But before bubs I was always a belly sleeper, and now not being able to sleep on my front I think is a big cause of the uncomfortableness 😪
Are you uncomfortable because of the way you have to sleep?

Do any of you ladies use melatonin to help your toddlers sleep? My boys always have a hard time going to sleep and idk what to do anymore 😩
Does anyone know what works best to help sleep at night for adults??
What’s a good way to help my son sleep at night while he has this cold? He’s super congested. :(
I know what you mean! My baby got the hiccups at least once if not twice a day and it got a bit annoying lol. My baby was really chilled out when he was born which was surprising but he's really colicky now.. Who knows what he will be like I'm a year or two though lol
