Disruppted sleeps and bad dreams?

[cb1]

So I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow, and for the last 2 weeks I've been suffering with terrible insomnia. I'm usually a fantastic sleeper, and I don't wake for anything - but right now I'm lucky to get an hours kip without waking up then not being able to get back to sleep. On top of that when I do sleep I'm having some awful dreams. I'm trying to work out if this is just a normal symptom of the wild hormonal state that pregnancy leaves us in, or if its more to do with my anxious mind doing overtime?? Any thoughts or experiences?

Haven't had the 'bad' dreams...in fact, I usual dream pretty vividly (before pregnancy), and now I don't even remember my dreams..I think it's because I'm not really FULLY asleep when I DO sleep. And yes, I have found that I have a small case of insomnia. It's SO weird! Like, around 7pm at night, I get soooooo tired and then by 9:30 when it's time for bed, I can't sleep! It's sooo annoying!! Last night, I stayed up til almost 11:30 before I finally dozed off! Possible hormones or possibly just being nervous for something to go wrong. I'm just waiting for the doc to tell me we lost the baby again...praying it doesn't happen though! Sticky babies for us all!!!! :-D

Hi, I also suffered insomnia and nightmares. One that was repeated was baby coming early or mc but was always a sea creature. Really scary dreams. I think its more to do with being nervous and over anxious. X

I've got insomnia.
I'm SO tired at around 20-21, but then when I hit the sack I toss and turn. I wake up in the middle of the night, toss and turn, and then wake up about 45 minutes before I usually do.
No bad dreams though thank God.
This sleeping bit is killing me.
