a couple of my friends have popped recently and the advice for me is this - take advantage of this period and sleep as much as possible because they can't remember what sleep is (this is of course because they are breastfeeding and have to do it every 2-3 hours). and since i do intend to breastfeed exclusively at least for the first 6 months, trust me, i have been trying my best to get in as much sleep as possible. but unfortunately, the insomnia has come back much stronger during this last trimester. it's either i wake every hour, take 20 minutes to fall asleep again, or i can't fall asleep at all, or i wake at 3am and just lie in bed hoping to fall asleep soon. sigh...................training for the post-natal period? but i must say i have gotten very good in sneaking in 10-20 minutes nap time whenever i do feel sleepy. so i guess i'm still coping alright for now.
