Not sleeping?

Question

Anyone else having problems sleeping at night? I'm exhausted (I'm almost 11 weeks). When I go to bed I have a hard time staying asleep. Everyone says sleep now because you won't sleep once you have your baby, now I'm worried I'll be sleep deprived. Does it get any easier to sleep in your second trimester?

Answer

I'm not sleeping either :( I usually wake up at 2am and can't get back to sleep and when I am sleeping,  I'm so uncomfortable and toss and turn. I'm only 7 weeks so I'm hoping it gets better at some point!

Answer

It takes me forever to fall asleep I toss and turn and can't fall asleep but yet if I have a nap during the day I'm out in seconds I'm 7w and hope it gets better

Answer

Okay first off, people that say that have clearly never been pregnant or don't remember how uncomfortable it is. It's SO hard to sleep while pregnant and just gets worse the further you get. Secondly, babies sleep a ton more than people let on. I got better sleep the first few months my son was here than I do now that he's a toddler. Not being able to sleep is completely normal and probably feeling awful bc it's mixed with fatigue from pregnancy. The second trimester will be much easier.

Answer

I think our bodies are just preparing us for being up several times a night with baby! I've been low on sleep but I find if I eat the healthiest foods and drink a lot of water, I'm still feeling pretty good during the day. 10w today and still getting fatigued, especially in the afternoon, but I usually go to a yoga class in the evening and my body finds the energy for that! And I usually sleep a bit better after yoga too!

Answer

I get up and do something. I find after riding a little, putting dishwasher on, sorting some laundry, I feel tired enough to go back to sleep. Otherwise I was awake for 2+ hours.

Answer

I have trouble sleeping at random times. I'm 13w & still have trouble falling asleep, then I usually wake up at 4:30am-ish for no reason & it takes a little bit to fall back asleep for the rest of the time before my alarm goes off. I hope that I start wanting to go to sleep earlier soon. I'm thinking that will help.

Answer

I haven't slept since week 4. I think for me it was a mix of being put on day shift after working nights for 3 years and thinking about the baby and everything that comes with it. I've found that i have to go to sleep earlier so i can get a somewhat decent night sleep.
