I don't have a baby yet, but even now I wake up 2-3 times a night and it can take an hour or two to fall back asleep. It drives me insane! DH woke up this morning for work at 3:30 and I don't think I fell back asleep until 5:00. Then I woke up again around 7:00. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-issues-with-insomnia-before-they-even-had-a-baby#post-35949 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 16:50:43 +0000 Rosie Girl 35949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slept just the same after DS was born. This pregnancy though, I have really been struggling with insomnia! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-issues-with-insomnia-before-they-even-had-a-baby#post-35911 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:52:05 +0000 Nskillet 35911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a problem if overstimulated before bed. Like Ipad use or oo much tv. Dh has an easier time falling asleep than he dos staying asleep. Have you tried cutting down caffiene? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-issues-with-insomnia-before-they-even-had-a-baby#post-35894 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:26:50 +0000 cyndistar3 35894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually slept better after my LO was born! I always had insomnia problems and would only get a few hours of sleep at night. I would have a hard time getting to sleep and I could never stay asleep but when she was born I would go to sleep pretty fast and sleep til it was time to fee her again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-issues-with-insomnia-before-they-even-had-a-baby#post-35842 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 12:18:22 +0000 chopsuey 35842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the hardest time sleeping for the first 7 months of LO's life. Now, at 8.5months pp, I sleep wonderfully!!<br /> I know that LO sleeps from 7pm-8am roughly, so I've been sleeping between 9-10:30pm and I wake up when she wakes up. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-issues-with-insomnia-before-they-even-had-a-baby#post-35838 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 12:07:38 +0000 MamaMoose 35838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I struggle with anxiety so often when I lay down at night my mind races with worry and I have a hard time shutting it off to fall asleep. My husband always falls asleep the second his head hits the pillow. Sometimes it makes me want to slap him : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-issues-with-insomnia-before-they-even-had-a-baby#post-35829 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 11:45:25 +0000 anewme 35829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you ask a new mom what is the one thing they miss the most about pre-baby life, chances are you're going to get some kind of answer regarding "sleep." Someone once told me that when you become a mom, you never ever sleep the same again. </p> <p>But for me, it's partially true. Yes, I sleep even worse now that I have my daughter. But truth be told, I was NEVER a good sleeper to begin with. I struggled with issues of insomnia since my high school days. When I was pregnant, I actually took ambien a few times to help me sleep. I hated to, but I knew it was the only way I could get some shut eye. I took it probably twice. </p> <p>I'm so jealous of DH, because he can fall asleep anywhere, doing anything. </p> <p>Does anyone else struggle with insomnia pre-baby ??! </p>
