I worried about this to (alot!) but don't worry too much as when your baby wakes in the night you can't fail to hear them cry. It's natural for you to be worried about this, but you'll actually find yourself waking when they are sleeping (just to check).
I wish you well with the rest of your pregnancy and hope you enjoy your new arrival x

I never wake up to alarms, and its a struggle when other people try to wake me, I'm always late waking up to get the kids to school in the morning, but somehow, when baby cries in the night, you wake up almost instantly.
I did with my others no probs, but after 3 months, i stopped waking up straight away, id lay in bed and just listen to them cry for 10 mins or so, then get up and do my stuff, but because of this, they all slept through from being about 4 months old.
i figure they thought, what the point of going to all that effort crying when she doesn't do what i want straight away, so payed off, lol.

Its strange but your body is really tuned into your baby and you will wake up. I used to wake at the slightest wimper or noise!!

Now my son is 3 when he occasionally wakes in the night i rarely hear him and sleep through!! My OH gets up to him and when he tells me the next morning i sometimes don't believe him! But i don't worry about Kian as much anymore and if he really needs me he can get to me safely.
