insomnia?

Question

Did you ever experience insomnia in pregnancy? If so, when did it start for you? What did you do to help you get better sleep?

Answer

I had very bad insomnia almost my entire first trimester.   It stopped around week 16 for about two weeks and now, while I can fall asleep, I've moved into the phase of constantly waking every 1-2 hours and having a harder and harder time falling back asleep.  It's hard to deal with as before pregnancy I was that lucky person who fell asleep five mins after laying down and slept for 7-8 hours solid without waking.  This makes me very zombie like and haggard throughout the day.

Answer

Yes. It started when I found a centipede in my bed at 2am. I'm still awake. It's 4:50am.

Waaait I actually do have something useful to contribute--if you're up in the wee hours of the morning, try and do something soothing instead of flailing around in bed :) read a book/drink some tea/whatever meets your fancy. If it's baby movement that's keeping you up, then you'll be happy to know you're actually training yourself to match his/her sleep schedule for when they get here! ❤

Answer

I experienced it before I was pregnant, during my pregnant it wasn't as bad.

Answer

Started in my second trimester! Only thing that helped is taking a hot bath & sleeping with a million pillows everywhere around me 😂 to get comfy or being cuddled up all over my husband🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

Currently 5am and I'm still wide awake lol 😞 mine started in the very beginning like 4weeks then went away for a while and just recently returned like this past week. I'm now 19 weeks. Everyone I've asked about what can help sleep suggested unisom (including my ob) so that's gonna be my next step whenever I can find a store that has it!!

Answer

Yes I had insomnia during my second trimester. At the beginning of the second trimester I had true insomnia and at the end, I think it was more because of being too uncomfortable to sleep. I would usually get out of bed so I didn't wake hubby and I'd go watch Netflix

Answer

Create a soothing sleep routine. No technology 2 hours before bed. Long warm bath or shower. Stretching. Calm breathing. Relaxation techniques of tensing and then relaxing every muscle from head to toe.
