Insomnia in pregnancy is common -- and dreadful. And the most dreadful part, IME, was all the people who told me, "Well, it's good practice for when the baby is here." Like being sleep-deprived unnecessarily for the four months PRIOR to giving birth was somehow going to help with the necessary sleep deprivation of new motherhood. It didn't, to say the least. Hope this is just a one-time event for you and doesn't become a chronic feature of late pregnancy.

Oh, BTW, OT but lest I forget -- after our conversation about breastfeeding and milk supply concerns, the next day I got the latest issue of the LLL magazine _New Beginnings_, and the lead article is a very helpful rundown of how to get your milk supply off to a good start. The article isn't online, but I'd be happy to mail it to you -- or you could contact LLL directly and ask about getting this recent issue. The article is excerpted from a whole forthcoming book about milk supply issues, but I'm not sure the book will be out by the time you will need it. Let me know if you want more info.

I find two glasses of wine in swift succession can put me under right swiftly. Doesn't offer much of a solution for a pregnant mother though. Hot tea?

Yep, me too. I do the same thing. I drive myself CRAZY. Poor you.
You're pregnant, so you can't do this, but I find that a couple valerian root pills take 1/2hr-1hr before bedtime helps shut my brain off so I can fall asleep.

Poor thing! I'm up all the time like that.
Hope you get some sleep!
