38 Weeks struggling!
I am literally at my wits end now. 38 weeks pregnant, also have a 22 month old daughter. She doesn't nap & she doesn't sleep at night either, wakes up to 10 times a night, depending on how long for each time. Sometimes she will only wake twice but then they will be for hours each time. No reason other than she just cannot stay asleep for long periods of time it seems, and shes just never tired. I have a sleep tracker for her and she sleeps between 7-9 hours within 24 hours, which is alot less than the average needed for her age.
I am very tired however.
I cry everyday
I fall asleep sitting up while trying to look after my daughter.
I also have extremely low iron, borerline anemic so even harder to stay awake during the day, but I suffer insomnia so once its nighttime I cannot sleep even if I try.
My boyfriend works 7 days a week he helps with everything when hes at home but I still cannot cope.
Im not depressed etc, I am just. So. Tired.
My mum has our daughter stay over sometimes, so I usually sleep for about 12 hours when she does but it makes no difference.
I just don't know how I am going to cope with a newborn when I already can't even cope.
I am hoping its pregnancy hormones too and that once baby is here I start to pick back up again.
Not sure the point of this post, just needed to get it all off my chest, no doctor or health visitor is interested.
