Anyone else have insomnia?

[JASMAK]

I can't sleep! For the past three nights, I have gone to bed fine, completely exhausted. But, then I will wake up to go pee at 1am, and I am up for HOURS. Last night I was up from 1am-5am. This sucks! Anyone else? What should I do?

 

[wanabe22]

hiya..i cant offer any advice as im just as bad lol...i feel knackered nd cant get to sleep then as soon as i wake up...no matter what time i cant get back to sleep no matter how tired iam...grrrrr xx

I'm having the same problem. I fall asleep fine, but literally wake every hour or so to pee.
I think exhaustion is contributing to my MS and mood swings.

The last few days I've been trying exercise a few hours before bed, followed by a bath and warm milk.
Haven't decided if it's working yet :/

Try a hot water bottle at your shoulders works a treat for me!

 

[rihanna]

sorry to say this but i have been like that since 4 weeks and am now over 12 weeks and still the same! xx

 

[PrayinForBaby]

I do that too, but for some reason...chocolate or strawberry milk has been putting me back to sleep, don't know if its because its heavy on my belly or what, but of course I wake up a few hours later having to pee!!

Until I was about 6-7 weeks I slept 12-14 hours a night but since then I am waking up at about 3 or 4 am and not getting back to sleep even though until I was 12 weeks I was constantly exhausted.

Luckily my energy levels have increased in the second trimester even though I am not having more sleep. I think it is our bodys way of getting us used to sleepless nights! I would so love just one night where I could sleep through and not get up for a wee 3 or 4 times!! x

I am exactly the same hun!!!

I have bought some lavender spray for my pillow....seems to do the trick if I sniff it after waking up during the night!!!

[JASMAK]

Wow! Thanks ladies. I am sorry you all are suffering too, but I am glad that I am not alone. I will have to try a few of those tricks. Right now I feel like I could fall asleep standing, but I don't want to nap as I don't want to be up again tonight.

 

[scrummy mummy]

i also had this at about 4-6 weeks but then it went away - but for the last 2 nights i have woke up at about 2am and felt soooo sick i have some indigestion tablets by my bed after one of them i drop back off

hope it goes soon xx

 

[divadexie]

I have it too.
I get exhausted during the day and a few times now I've not had a wee sleep atall in the day hoping it would help... It didn't!

So I now go to bed around 11 and sleep until my oh comes up around 1 or 2, then we watch something and I lie awake for a few hours, up at 7 to get him and my son and the dogs sorted, then back to bed for an hour on wed n fri, and 2/3 hours on tue n thurs.


My oh moaned about me sleeping patterns I told him it doesn't matter when I sleep, as long as I do! Lol

 

[jenniferannex]

when i was in my first trimester i couldnt sleep at all, i used to wake up every couple of hours, and took me ages to get back to sleep, it went away by about 20 weeks and i had alot of good nights sleep, but now its back and i never sleep! its terrible as im exhausted all the time, but they say its our body getting us ready for whats to come...ahhh dear! lol

 

[kc1980]

It's 2am so my answer is YES. Been like this off and on since the very beginning. I am tired during the day & early evening, but then wake up to pee & can't go back to sleep for a while.

 

[NeyNey]

Funny you should mention this hun, I was just talking to my co-worker about how I'm not sleeping well. I wake up feeling a bit sick, then get up to pee...and then lay in bed staying at the darkness for what feels like hours...

 

[Torz]

Yes I'm like this also, absolutley exhausted & fall to sleep easily but then wake up wanting the loo & cant get back to sleep. It was even worse last night because it was soo windy & which was aking noises down stairs & i started getting parranoid. I did finaly manage to get back to sleep but I feel more exhausted this morning.

 

[Katherine]

I also had some insomnia when I was in week 4 or 5. Then I could sleep, specially when I started feeling really tired... I would easily fall asleep riding the subway.

Now I am a little bit back to normal.

 

[JASMAK]

I slept! You know what I did? I cut out one of my iron pills. At bedtime I was taking one prenatal and one iron (I have anemia) and I think it was just too much on my tummy as the prenatal also has iron in it. I take another iron with my folic acid in the morning, but I am thinking that I will take the other at lunch perhaps. I hate those things. But, yeah, I still got up and peed, but I went back to sleep! Yay! Of course, it could be just a fluke...after three nights of unproper sleep, perhaps I was just too friggin exhausted. LOL!

 

[MaternalMe]

same here.
Get to sleep ok and then up 2/3 times a night for a wee and cannot sleep, not complaining though as i'd rather have the symptoms than not

 

[Baylioomy]

Im the same way the last few nights have been awful. I wake up at 6am and cant go back to sleep. Then I have to take a mid day nap.

 

[Crypto1976]

I am up at least 6/7 times. I am peeing all the time and am horrendously dehydrated too which is a bit of a viscious circle. I dont sleep deeply at all any more. XX
