Sleep help

We’ve been going through a sleep regression however, we seem to have managed to cut the crying etc out but taking her so long to fall asleep at night. She’s always been like this with the odd time of it taking only half an hour for her to fall asleep. It’s getting to the point I’m getting so frustrated because I’m 30 weeks pregnant and very sore, having to lie in bed with her sometimes for 2 hours before she’ll fall asleep. I’m spending the rest of the night in a lot of pain. It’s also making me concerned with how it’s going to be when baby comes as my partner often works away. I can’t spend 2 hours in her room when there’s no one to have baby. Does anyone have any suggestions on things that will help her be able to sleep quicker? I tried magnesium which worked for a couple of days and now makes no difference.

No advice but I’m also 30 weeks pregnant with a 2 year old who isn’t sleeping well! So I feel your pain! Being pregnant with a toddler should be an Olympic sport!

What time are you starting to try? Does she still nap and for how long at what time? If she's regularly taking more than half an hour to go to sleep it sounds like she needs more time awake to be tired enough? We've had to move bed to 8pm and limit nap to 1h30 ish. If we try before then he just wouldn't go to sleep.

@Stephanie no she’s ready for bed, all signs of tiredness. Her being toted isn’t an issue. She’s in bed and trying to sleep and I can physically see her getting frustrated with herself because she can’t settle down. She only sleeps an hour through the day so not having too much sleep there. She’s always had this issue but just becoming harder as I’m getting further along and then having to deal with thoughts of how it’s going to be when baby is here. If we leave her any later bedtime is 10x worse because she’s overtired. We’ve tried to adjust times etc so know it’s not an issue. Her bedtime has moved later slightly naturally as she’s gotten a little older but yeah any later is a no go
