Things to avoid
Discomforts
What you do will depend on your perception of the cause. If you have difficulty getting to sleep because of physical discomforts such as
heartburn,
restless legs,
frequent urination,
leg cramps,
backache or other
aches and pains reading about the treatment of these discomforts and dealing with them may help.
Feeling anxious or concerned
If you feel you are anxious about various issues such as the labour, your relationship, parenting, the renovations, work, your other child, finances etc., enough to stop you from getting to sleep, then you may need to talk with your partner, friend, social worker at the hospital, counsellor or psychotherapist. Sometimes making a 'worry list' and working out ways of dealing with each one is therapeutic. Waking with vivid disturbing dreams can be unnerving. Your homoeopath may be able to recommend a remedy to suit you. You may wish to read
stress and relaxation.
Can't get to sleep or waking in the night
If you simply can't get to sleep or wake after a few hours sleep for no real reason then you probably need to get a 'going to sleep' routine happening to cue your body for drifting off to zzzz land. Realise though that having broken sleep at the end of pregnancy is Mother Nature's way of getting you ready to look after a new baby. Mothers survive on short blocks of quality sleep, 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours at a time. Having 8-10 hours solid sleep will be a distant memory!
Being able to get off to sleep will mean thinking of routines that work for you. Try to use these routines with the aim of getting off to sleep. Avoid thinking 'I'm awake now' and getting up to do housework, reading emails or completing work brought home.
