Anyone struggling to sleep?

Question

I'm so tired but have insomnia, never had this with my other pregnancies worried something is wrong. I toss and turn all night, get hot have a wee. Try to lie on my stomach my normal way of sleeping but can't for fear of squashing baby plus my breasts are heavy and make it difficult. Is this normal?  If I don't sleep am I doing damage to my baby? X

Answer

I feel your pain.

Answer

Totally with you. And my SO is all elbows when he sleeps so he takes up the extra space I reaaaaallly need when I'm piping hot!

Answer

Story of my life

Answer

Yes I suffered insomnia with my first pregnancy and now again with my second pregnancy.

My physician has me taking Benadryl every evening. And if it has been (4) hours when I wake up in the night to pee - then I take another Benadryl if needed.

However if that stops working - and I have 3 nights of horrible sleep she did prescribe my Ambien to have a solid 8 hours. This isn't to be used everyday.  Only if I have multiple nights of insomnia.

She said this does not damage the baby - just severely wears momma out. Good news is - once I delivered my first baby , I slept more then waking up for feedings than I did while pregnant. So the newborn phase didn't make me so tired 😊

Answer

I'm extremely nauseas (have had Hyperemesis gravidarum for 5 weeks now), and I've had insomnia for the past week. Without fail, I wake up around 2 or 3 to throw up, then never get back to sleep. Throw up 2-3 times a night. And if I stay awake all day it doesn't make the night better. It's like my new internal alarm clock is 3am, or earlier. Sooo sick of this.

Answer

Same here! Grrrr...and it never fails when I'm falling asleep my little girl wakes up!
