How tf am I supposed to sleep? 🙄

Question

I’m only 8w2d and I haven’t been comfy enough to sleep at night in at least 2 weeks, and on top of that I already have insomnia 🙄 my favorite sleeping position is my stomach but I can’t sleep that way, it’s too uncomfortable (obviously, stupid me) but I can’t get comfortable ANY way else.
Did you guys invest in a pregnancy pillow? Does it actually help? Is it too soon for me to get one? I have literally tried everything and no matter what I do I just can’t freaking sleep 😭😭 someone help me please because I work 630am to 6pm every day and I really need my sleep
Any advice is welcome!!

Answer

Unfortunately I don't have any advice,  all I can say is I feel your pain.  Im 8weeks 1day, I actually was a good sleeper before the last 2 to 3 weeks have been the worst sleep of my entire life. I toss and turn all night long and cannot get comfortable,  I started using essential oils to see if it would help, but not really.  I also work long hours, leaving the house at 6:30am and not getting home most nights until 7pm. It's pretty miserable.  Hang in there momma, im sorry i dont have any advice, just know that you're not alone 😪😪

Answer

I have insomnia really bad in normal life and pregnancy made it way worse but omg half a unisom helps me sleep 8-9 hours a night!!! I still wake up once or twice but fall back asleep easily. It also helps with nausea so it has been a real life saver. I was running on 2-4 hours of sleep before and now I am getting a good nights rest! I also wedge a pillow under my side and sleep on my side! Used to be a stomach sleeper as well!

Answer

OMG me too! I did invest in the pregnancy pillow, but my daughter stole it and won't let it out of her room. I miss lying on my belly

Answer

I take a half a unisom (sleep aid) at night to help with nausea. It also helps me sleep!

So I’m 9weeks tomorrow and I’m a stomach sleeper. But I’ve been loosing my breath at night sleeping on my stomach and just super uncomfortable. My husband bought me a pregnancy pillow and let me tell you. It’s amazing. It keeps me snuggled in one position all night and I’m sleeeping so much better !

Answer

I am almost ready for a pregnancy pillow too. I’m 9 weeks and so uncomfortable. I had a Snoogle for my first pregnancy and didn’t find it supportive enough. I’ll be ordering a new one soon, probably one that wraps around so that when I switch sides all night I don’t have to flip the pillow over each time. This will take up the whole bed though and I don’t think hubby’s ready to move to the guest room full time lol.

Answer

I’m only 6 weeks 5 days and haven’t been able to sleep for like a week. I am using a body pillow and it helps tremendously!
