Pregnancy insomnia?? Holy crap... anyone else struggling to sleep? It's not because I'm…

Me!! Couple of days ago I was sleeping like a baby and then it stopped I was awake till like 4 this morning knocked out and had to wake up to get my son ready for school ? but I am super uncomfortable and hot ?

Yes! It's not discomfort for me either. I may have a bit of a sore back but I can still get comfortable. Then I just lay there, I'm so tired but will get in bed at ten and still be laying there wide awake until midnight or later. At least before once I fell asleep I stayed asleep, but the last few nights I started walking up constantly after that too. I don't even have to pee or anything. Just pure insomnia! I'll be 34 weeks on Friday, I'm sure it'll only get worse from here!

I've had it my whole life, and pregnancy isn't helping! I just keep telling myself I've had 35 years of practice for a newborn...

Yep! I had it with my son and its back again. Its to prepare you for the newborn. I remember being soooo frustrated with my first pregnancy bc I knew I would not sleep after the baby came so it made it worse that I couldn't sleep before he came. But now it makes sense. Its just your way of preparing to get by on little sleep.

I have been waking up at 4 am for the past 5 nights in a row. Even though last night I couldn't fall asleep until almost 12.

I've had insomnia my whole life, it definitely gets worse towards the end of pregnancy though :(

I have it bad, mostly because I get horrible heartburn at night and my blood pressure starts to spike

Out of desperation I asked my dr what I could take, ask yours about Benadryl. It really helps me. Sunday night after my baby shower I didn't take it bc I was exhausted- needless to say I was awake again from 3-630. Eventually eating pretzels lol. Meditation doesn't even work anymore ?

That's me every single night! I feel so tired but just can't go to sleep. The other night I was up eating chips and drinking a soda at 3am ?. Pry went to sleep at 4 and got up at 7... I wanna get as much sleep as I can before baby come! Oh well least I'll be used to being up lol

meeeeee ??????

Yesssssssss. Didn't get to sleep until 3:30 this morning! It's either staying up super late or waking up at 4 and not being able to go back to sleep. Benadryl is amazing tho and REALLY helps! I don't take it all the time..just when I feel like I really need to rest and I am able to go to sleep at a good time (before 11) and stay asleep ALL night! I will probably take one tonight bc I slept so bad last night.

I am dealing with this right now. I am on night 3 of not being able to sleep ? the first few nights I blamed it on my achy legs and hips but tonight I had a warm bath and ate a banana before bed to try and help and it did but I cannot stop thinking about the most random things and it's keeping me wide awake. I am so tired!!! I never had this with my son and I'm hoping this stops soon. Thank goodness I have 7 episodes of scandal to catch up on ?

I had it really bad earlier in my pregnancy, I'm sure it will come back! I took unisom every night and it helped a lot!
