Hey there! Congratulations on reaching week 31 of your pregnancy! It's totally normal to experience some sleep disruptions during this exciting time. It sounds like you're really struggling with insomnia, and that can be tough, especially when you have work to tackle the next day. First off, have you tried establishing a calming bedtime routine? Doing things like taking a warm bath, sipping on some herbal tea (make sure it's pregnancy-safe), and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or gentle yoga can signal to your body that it's time to wind down. Since you mentioned your little one's activity sometimes keeps you up, perhaps trying some gentle movements or stretches before bed could help both of you relax. Plus, keeping a notepad by your bedside to jot down any worries or to-do's that pop into your head might ease your mind. It's great that you're exploring different strategies like relaxing music, but if that's not doing the trick, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for personalized advice. They might have some other suggestions or even recommend a sleep specialist if needed. I know it can be tempting to rely on medication to catch some Z's, but it's always best to consult with your doctor before taking anything, especially during pregnancy. Hang in there, mama! You're doing an amazing job growing your little one, and remember, this won't last forever. Wishing you peaceful nights ahead! 🌙💤 Mama's Choice $18 voucher 👉🏻 https://invl.io/cll6she
Hello! I’m also a FTM in my third trimester now and also facing this situation but I guess it’s normal. I just endure it and try to pass my day 🥲 sometimes I will just take a quick nap during lunch time or in public transport/car if I have a seat on MRT/bus. It’s indeed tiring but please hang on! I played relaxing music before sleep but it only work sometimes, which is better than nothing for me. Otherwise, I will take a day off from work to sleep in longer or afternoon nap to recover my sleep 🥲 I also will tell baby to let mommy sleep because mommy is really tired and have to work the next day. Glad that he listened and stop kicking.
