im_a_dummy agony auntHey, thanks guys... I do yoga classes as part of my P.E. in school? If that counts, but I usually zone out and dont really follow it cuz my belly gets in the way. I don't really wanna go talk to my doctor, I don't really like asking him questions, he is a creeper. He like feels up my boobs and shit and is like "I'm looking for cancer." CANCER MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway, thanks for your help, I do take baths all the time, maybe I'll try the music with waves, I do have music, but it's like rock, that's what I put on my belly, hopefully he will be smart. :/ thanks for your help.

im 15 too!:) not preggie though..but i think that it is amazing that u have the courage to bring up a child at such a young age, especially when soo many people today abort..that angers me!!:@but i know what u mean about not being able to sleep. When i was 12, i was the victim of attempted abduction. I could not sleep properly for 9 months!(Almost like being preggie!lol) the only thing i thought could help, and this may sound completely stupid to u,(But it works) was putting on the sound of waves on a beach on my CD player and closing my eyes and relaxing after a hot bath. Try to relax. Stick it on. You should be able to get it in any music selling shop. Hope it works:)

You're not the same as your mates any more, you're in a different situation with a different state of mind. Talk to someone, whatever your age sleeping whilst pregnant can be a struggle but you're young (I'm not judging!) and you have more on your mind. Take time to relax and clear your mind, think positive and for the future thoughts before you sleep. Also talk to someone, they might be able to help you, sometimes professional advice is all you need, people who know what they're talking about can give you tips on how to fall into a natural sleep otherwise there may be a solution that can be prescribed from your doctor. Next time you go for a check up mention this. good luck xxx

At 15 years old pregnant for the first time you have a hell of a lot on your mind at the moment thats why you cannot sleep. Make sure your evenings are as stress free as possible have a nice hot relaxing bath wind down do all the things that you enjoy & don't force it. Sometimes the worse thing you can do is go to sleep before you are ready. You end up lying there getting angry with yourself for not sleeping and that keeps you awake even longer. If this fails please see your doctor it is not good for you or your child if you are exhausted. They might prescribe u something although that is tricky with you being pregnant or they might offer a hebal medicine that could help.

Good Luck
