Can anyone else NOT SLEEP!?

Question

I remember pregnancy insomnia with my first born, but it was closer to the end. I would wake up and pace the floor for hours unable to sleep. But at 18.5 weeks, I wake up around 1am (usually to use the bathroom) and here is it 3:30 and I am still wideeeee awake. I just lay here and get frustrated! I go to bed between 9-10pm every evening and fall asleep relatively easily, but I CANNOT stay asleep..anyone else having sleeping issues?

Answer

Yup, it’s 2:08 am as I’m writing this... I’m having the same exact problem! My dr said chamomile tea, Benadryl, or Unisom are okay if I want to try any of them but I haven’t yet.

Answer

Yes! It wasn’t like this during my first pregnancy. This is my second and it’s my first time experiencing pregnancy insomnia 😩 I’m so tired and can hardly keep my eyes open just before bed until I lay down, then I just can’t sleep 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

It was like this for the first 9 weeks of my pregnancy. It got better.. now it’s starting to creep back! I have a small cup of coffee in the morning to help get me going (I have a 2 1/2 yo and 11 mo old). Thank goodness my kids nap at the same time in the afternoon.. I try to take a 30 min nap. The first 9 weeks I was only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night. But I know it will be nothing like the sleep deprivation from a newborn.

Answer

I take unisom before bed for morning sickness but it’s also helped me sleep a lot better without totally knocking me out.

Answer

Mine was worse in the first trimester. Maybe go to bed slightly later, but at a consistent time, and limit your food/fluid intake an hour+ before bed. Unisom might help.

Answer

I had insomnia in the first trimester but it started to get better. Now I’m 17+1 and my nose is so stuffy that I’m up all night trying to breathe. So miserable!

Answer

Started this week. Just turned 18 weeks today. I’m trying hard to just close my eyes and meditate back to sleep. Worked tonight but didn’t the night before. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m trying!!

Answer

Yes!! I didnt have this issue with my first. I'm 20 weeks and for a while now I have gotten into this terrible routine... I fall asleep about 1030-11 and by 2 I'm up and can't fall back asleep until after 6am. Then my 3yo wakes up between 8-9. She doesnt nap anymore so I'm stuck being exhausted all day. AND, I take a unisom before bed every night. Ugh! I'm so desperate for sleep.

Answer
