Tips to survive 3rd trimester

Hello fellow mums, I'm 31 weeks pregnant and been experiencing insomnia for so many weeks already. Baby is super active all the time, and wakes up to move a lot when I lay down to rest. I feel more easily tired and exhausted. I'm currently on leave, but will resume work in Jan. Quite worried that I can't cope because I will. Have to get up at 5.45am for work and usually end work only at 5-6pm, sometimes 8pm on occasion. Any mothers experienced the same thing and can give me any tips?

Hi dear! I experienced the same. My little one was super active and I got tired really easily at work. I managed my time well while working. If I can rest a little more during lunch time at work, I will grab that. 15 mins rest at work helped also. If your management is ok, do let them know. Most would understand like mine did. I worked all the way till my 8th month and gave birth 2 weeks after I went for my maternity leave. Hydrate yourself and eat well. Somehow it helps a little but as you go closer to your edd, baby will be less active due to space constraints. But again, it depends! I hope you have sufficient rest and feel better soon :)
