Any suggestions?

I have not been able to sleep for the past well, two weeks. I lay in bed and listen to my husband snore or I think of going into labor. I can sleep a hour or so after my husband gets up and that's it. I'm so tired!!!! So I have no idea what to do. I've tried Tylenol PM and I've tried hot tea but it doesn't work. So! I'm up for suggestions! Thanks!

    Sounds familiar. I wish I had a suggestion. I do think a little light activity may help. I have been doing prenatal yoga (at least until it started becoming incredibly hard to breathe or not feel I was going to wet my pants) and it seemed to tire me out enough to get at least a few hours of good sleep. Hang in there. I keep telling myself the same thing.

    Try setting a bedtime ritual for yourself - do the same thing before bed every night and make it relaxing. Read a book about non-pregnancy or baby related things, don't watch TV or be online, just focus on relaxing and getting sleepy. Try doing the same thing before bed every night so that it feels normal. If you wake up in the middle of the night try to stay focused on your breathing and don't think about labour or what if's or whats going to happen, etc. 

    Hope this helps and you get some sleep soon!

    I kind of have this same issue. The past few days though I've been so tired I've had to take naps in the middle of the day. I try reading in bed for a while until I'm tired. I don't like taking meds if I don't have to but was always told doing a quiet activity before bed helps your mind/body calm down a lot. It's worked well for me. Now I just have to figure out how to sleep through the night...
