I can sometimes fall back asleep and sometimes not, I'm getting a snoogle this weekend to see if that helps keep me comfortable! I heard that the second trimester is supposed to be the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trouble-sleeping-while-pregnant#post-144545 Wed, 02 May 2012 07:54:58 +0000 mediagirl 144545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any problems in the first tri but I did find if I didn't drink water after 8pm, I wouldn't get up to pee in the middle of the night. I stick with that now. I still wake up at 3am sometimes and can't go back to sleep now. That's fun...</p> <p>ETA: Oh and three pillows - one for the head, one to hug and one to put between your legs. It has saved me so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trouble-sleeping-while-pregnant#post-144542 Wed, 02 May 2012 07:53:26 +0000 winniebee 144542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sulli301: I take the regular strength unisom that has orange on the box. It works really well - before I would lay in bed tossing and turning for hours and now I fall asleep pretty easily. Once in a while I still have trouble falling asleep, but once I fall asleep, I sleep pretty well. I still get up to pee 2-3x a night but can fall back asleep right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trouble-sleeping-while-pregnant#post-144342 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:36:29 +0000 sulli301 144342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha yes it takes up half our bed too!

He just doesn't like the snoogle taking up half the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trouble-sleeping-while-pregnant#post-144324 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:16:20 +0000 sulli301 144324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Agh!

I didn't think I'd need her (lol) until the second trimester but maybe this go around I do...</p> <p>@winniebee: My doctor also told me I could take regular strength unisom last time around but I never needed to...does it help you? Maybe I'll ask about that...which one do you take?</p> <p>@mrsjyw: I'm sorry you're having trouble too! I also have been having crazy dreams :(</p> <p>@Alivoo01: thank you!!! :) That's so sweet! </p> <p>@chopsuey119: I wake up for those same two reasons ;P But falling asleep is so hard!

I have crazy dreams that make me restless, wake up at 4am on the dot every am to pee, and then sit wide awake for 30 min til I fall back asleep for an hour. :(</p> <p>Hoping it passes soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trouble-sleeping-while-pregnant#post-141995 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 07:55:01 +0000 winniebee 141995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had trouble sleeping from like weeks 8-12 (lots of peeing), but it resolved itself until week 20. From week 20-24 I had such bad insomnia that I eventually spoke with my OB about it and she prescribed 1/2 unisom tab every night. It helps but sometimes I still do have trouble sleeping (36 wks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trouble-sleeping-while-pregnant#post-141988 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 07:44:17 +0000 heffalump 141988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried using a snoogle or body pillow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trouble-sleeping-while-pregnant#post-141892 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:43:18 +0000 sulli301 141892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just over 6 weeks pregnant with baby #2 &amp; have been having an AWFUL time sleeping at night! With DD my I slept AWESOME the entire pregnancy, even if I woke up to pee I would fall back asleep easily. I am super tired during the day (just like early in my last pregnancy) &amp; sometimes I nap &amp; sometimes I don't but either way I can't sleep at night :( Did this happen to anyone else? Any advice? </p>
