By 9 - 10 am I am already drained and so tired I feel sick. I sometimes will HAVE to nap when I put my 2 year old down to nap.. and let my other three children know what I'm going to do if they need me. . I sleep for even a half hour or hour and I am not able to sleep until 3 am! If I don't take the nap everyone pays for it. If I do.. everyone pays for it and I am more tired the next day..

Yes this is me! 2 PM comes around and I cannot help myself my eyes just close!! Then when bedtime comes I am tired but connot sleep until 1 AM. I guess we are getting ready for when baby gets here that way we do not go into shock from lack of sleep lol. I hate it though.

You can try Benadryl or unisom at night. Both safe during pregnancy and helps with sleep.

I'm actually skipping napping today because of the insomnia it exacerbates, but it's really hard - I'm struggling to stay awake! The insomnia has been pretty brutal though; up almost every day around 3 am and can't fall back asleep until 5. 😞

it's so hard! hard also when you have four other children, 2, 5, 7, and 12, and school just ended. hard to nap when you can't! I skip the nap and i dont want, cant, be bothered, I end up snapping at everyone because I don't feel good. so hard!
