It's so hard to get comfy in bed! Try a warm bath before bed, then lie on your side with a pillow under your bump or use a pregnancy pillow. You may get cramps, like period pains, known as Braxton Hicks or 'practice' contractions, which generally taper off.

• Swot up on pain relief, and check what's on offer at the hospital or birth centre.
• Prepare for labour by eating high-energy complex carbs, plus proteins such as chicken and fish.
• Get measured for a nursing bra - you'll need at least four.
