You will start getting sleep when the child is WAY older lol. And then that's not a guarantee !! Lol. Welcome to pregnancy and parent hood!! ( mom of 10 and 12 yr old and 35 weeks with boy #3!)

Unfortunately, it's  apart of pregnancy and there isn't much you can do about it. I had insomnia in my teens and then during my first pregnancy it just got worse and since you cant take sleeping tablets while pregnant.. well.. yeah.. it *****.  You can by herbal relaxing pills though that are safe to use. Do you do anything during the day?  What made me worse was I was constantly just laying on the couch watching tv all day so when it came time for bed, I had been relaxing so much already that I wasnt tired..oh and it doesn't stop after pregnancy either.  Once bub is here getting up every 2 hours for feeds etc.. some say that sleeplessness during pregnancy is our bodies way of preparing for when bubby comes. Best of luck.
