26 wks preggo and I can't sleep at night!

26 wks preggo and I can't sleep at night!

So I just posted a question about my dd who is 15months and has been waking up at night.
'I' also can't sleep at night..lol...
I am 26 wks pregnant and I feel as if alls I need is about 1-2 hrs of sleep a night...and i'd be fine.
I am very comfortable in bed...that's not the problem...it's I just can't sleep....
I don't nap during the day either (if I do.it's for a about 10-30min)

Sometimes when I wake up at 2am I'll take a bath to relax my body even more to help catch some zzzz's....

Any suggestions?

I've not been sleeping either (could be something with DD waking up 4 times a night).  I've also been seeing stupid dreams of DH cheating on me (oh, I've caught him IMing, calling and actually in bed so far...hmm, where will I catch him next?)

I know...i've had dreams of all of my ex's kissing me....pregnancy dreams are crazy!
I'm sure that has something to do with it...my dd waking up and I can't fall back asleep. I have also been waking up with headaches in the mid. of the night as well. So bad...they wake me up at times..OH...lol..AND heartburn....'MAYBE' these are all contributing to my lack of sleep...(lol)

Yeah, it all sounds too familiar.  I have a migraine right now b/c I didn't get a good night's sleep (and hasn't been getting).

I took unisom during pregnancy once in awhile so I could get some sleep. The doctor said it was safe during pregnancy. I had 2 out of 5 of my pregnancies where I had like insomnia and just couldn't sleep at night for no reason. It drove me crazy.
