Is this a pregnancy thing?

Question

We will be living in Germany for the next 2 1/2 years (military) we just took a 3 week vacation to the US and it's been a week since we got back and I can't seem to sleep. I sleep for about 4 hours then I'm wide awake then fall asleep a few hours later but then sleep till the afternoon. Yesterday I slept fine but today I again woke up after 4 hours. I know insomnia is a pregnancy thing but is that what this is? Or is this jet lag? I just want to sleep!!!

-side note- I also wake up starving

Answer

I had insomnia in my first trimester and well before 5 weeks I was already waking up every night/morning around 3/4 to pee. It became a new nightly routine and very annoying while I was on vacay and trying to get some quality sleep. I tested before I went home and got a very strong positive.

Answer

It's probably a bit of both.  Do your best to stay awake as long as possible.  Eventually your schedule will balance out

Answer

That's about how my schedule is. I get maybe 6 hours of sleep at night tops & a half hour nap mid afternoon. To help with the hunger try peanuts or peanut butter soon before going to sleep. Both of those are pretty filling to me do I don't wake up hungry.

Answer

It might be everything combined. I wake up starving and before I got pregnant I never used to. I haven't been sleeping well either, especially earlier in my pregnancy. Maybe you could try a sleeping medicine to see if that helps get you some sleep throughout the night!
