Hi Guys,
I have always slept badly. Before pregnancy I used to lie awake worrying about all kinds of things, big, small, huge, inconsequential - the lot! Now I lie awake and think of nothing - I am happy that my neurotic worrying has subsided but I don't know why I lie awake for hours. I sometimes get up, read, eat, watch tv.
I have tried a dozen things (bath's, herbal tea, exercise, milky drink, massage, etc...)
My midwife has confirmed it's just hormones.
Does anyone use homeopathic remedies? Acupuncture?
If one more person says 'it's just your body getting you ready for motherhood'. I will scream. I have suffered with insomnia since I was a teenager - what was my body preparing me for then, huh? (sorry)
Any advice would be spectacular. Just knowing I'm not alone will help. Misery loves company. x
