Hi, I really feel for you and I am 28
weeks pregnant with a 3 year old who up to
recently wasnt sleeping at night at all
(and still gets in my bed in the
morning!!) all I can suggest is try 1 week
of hard hard training with your 14 month
old, try your best just for one week to
keep her awake in the day and get her to
bed at same time every night. I tried
this aftersomeone suggested it to me and
touch wood it has worked a treat, even
though I was more tired than ever but its
worth it. A bath for little un' straight
before bed really really helps, it makes
them tired and relaxes their little bodys
so they feel like sleeping a bit more. On
first few days when she wakes at night get
up and put her straight back to bed even
ifyou have to sit there for 40 mins before
she gets back to sleep, hopefully if this
works you can get some rest in before baby
comes and more importantly when baby does
come you will only have the sleeping
issuesof 1 baby to deal with instead of
2!!! How do these women with 4 or 5 kids
do it ey?!!!! Hope it all goes well for
you hun x
