Insomnia starting at 4 weeks pregnant … has it happened to you?

Question

At 9dpo I found out I was pregnant with baby number 2. I thought it was weird I was waking at 3am every morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. Now at 4weeks 5 days I have had 5 nights of very little to zero sleep. When I had my daughter I had the worlds easiest pregnancy. My only symptoms were darker nipples, sore breast and only 4 days of nausea. I work full time and have a toddler…. I don’t know how much of this sleeplessness I can take. At least when my first was a newborn that sleeplessness was due to me caring for a baby, not because I couldn’t physically fall asleep.

Answer

I had bad insomnia weeks 3-5 and now I can definitely sleep through the night (if only my bladder allowed me to) and I am 7w2d. I had insane hot flashes to the point where my sheets were soaked through from sweat, but those have also calmed down as my body adjusts to hormones.

Answer

My second pregnancy I used Benadryl on a nightly basis to put me to sleep cause I couldn’t sleep otherwise
