Aw no bless her, it's probably cos she is poorly then, I know it's hard but really do try not to let her sleep in your bed even if she's poorly cos she will want to continue sleeping in your bed once she's well again.
Unless of course you don't mind her sleeping in your bed? lol

she was worse in a cot she would get me up 15 times a night then she started climbing out of her cot so i had to move her into a bed for her own safety
she loved her bed at first and started sleeping through ( shes been in the bed about 8wks ) its only the last 8 days shes been sleeping really badly although saying that shes been ill and has had a chest infection
she has slept in her own room since she was 5wks old and has never slept in our bed so i dont know why she has statred trying to get in our bed now

If she is in with you until she falls asleep then that could be why she is screaming when she wakes.
She falls asleep in your bed and when she wakes, instead of settling herself back to sleep, she could be scared or worried cos she is in a different place to where she fell asleep iygwim?
I spose the it makes it harder cos she is in a bed rather than a cot cos if she was in a cot then you could leave her to cry and go and soothe her every so often leaving the gap between you going back longer each time, but cos she's in a bed I assume she just gets out?

i have tried with routines but they dont work she is so stubborn she makes herself sick everywhere
she always gets up the same time has her brekkie, lunch and dinner at the same time everyday but thats about as far as it goes
i think she might be having night terrors as she will wake up screaming / sobbing and sounds so scared
i dont want to start putting her in my bed so i have ended up getting in her bed with her untill she settles ( i dont fit very well in her yellow car toddler bed pmsl )

Aww hun I know how you feel, My 5yr old dd goes to bed at about half 7 after being at school all day and wakes up during the night thinking it is time to get up and it will only be 3am! Then i get her back off and she is up again by 5am. I am pg too and absolutely kn***ered at the mo, and now my 4yr old dd has started waking up in the night with night terrors
Then to really rub it in when me and dh are asleep they jump in our bed and almost kick us out lol.
Not sure what to do really apart from putting them back into their own beds over and over again until they give up wandering in the night. was going to see my gp about seeing a sleep specialist maybe it would be worth you seeing if you could get some help too. In the meantime is there anyway you could stop her napping in the afternoon, that way she may just be soo tired that she doesnt wake in the night. xxx -
