Who else can't sleep?

Question

Since becoming pregnant, (I am 15 weeks today) I have become the lightest sleeper. Any sounds as small as someone dropping their shirt on the floor wakes me up. And almost like clockwork I wake up at 12am and i am on and off till I have to get up for work at 4. I'm so tired. I miss being a dead sleeper. Where I could sleep through a tornado. I didn't have sleeping issues with my first so this is all new for me.

Answer

Oh yeah I'm so tired throughout the day but from like 1-5am I'm tossing and turning and staring at the wall.

Answer

I am the exact same! Luckily I am working from home so I can nap when my 2 year old does, but the days when I can't for whatever reason, I am absolutely exhausted!

Answer

Me too! Dr said it could be caused by my blood sugar dropping and that eating could help me fall back asleep.

Answer

13 weeks and same!

Answer

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. My first (and this one actually too) I went through a phase of these awful terrible nightmares I'd wake up crying and terrified and sometimes hyperventilating because they were so real and vivid and based on absolute worst fears and just awful things. That's now passed and I thought life would go back to normal. NOPE. Like you, I used to sleep through everything. Now my husband hits the bottom of the steps to come up to bed and I'm awake even from another floor. It's the worst. I'm debating getting out my pregnancy pillow to see if that helps. I toss and turn a lot. I've been getting headaches way more. I have noticed going to bed on a full belly helps (but not too full or heartburn is starting already 🙄) but it's not foolproof,  just cuts down my wake ups from like 6 or 7 to maybe 2 or 3.
