It started a few weeks ago. I am usually so exhausted that I fall asleep pretty quickly but sometimes have a hard time falling back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2063956 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:41:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 2063956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>34 weeks on Friday, and I'm still sleeping okay. Most nights I can sleep through the night, I toss and turn to get comfortable but it doesn't wake me up. I did have to get up and pee this morning at like 3 am, I really hope that doesn't mean it's starting already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2063831 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 08:52:58 +0000 MrsBananaGrabber 2063831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having similar sleep problems! I'm 13 weeks, and this has only started in the last week or so. I'll fall asleep pretty early for me (around 8 or 9pm), but then wake up around 1 or 2am for no apparent reason (no bathroom trip, no heartburn, no muscle pain, etc.) and not be able to fall back asleep for hours. I'll be tired the whole time, but just unable to sleep.</p> <p>I'd love to hear any suggestions anyone has! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2049090 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:22:16 +0000 MrsKMM 2049090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: Haha, there's definitely hope! My ob recommended it. I'm not very pleasant when I don't get enough sleep. Should be an interesting adjustment once LO arrives! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2049080 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:16:54 +0000 mrscobee 2049080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having horrible time sleeping here at 9 weeks, and not that tired, which is strange... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2049079 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:16:12 +0000 SeptMomma12 2049079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>24 weeks and sleeping terribly. I am up to pee every 45 minutes. All night long :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2049075 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:10:59 +0000 mrsjyw 2049075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fall asleep quickly esp on nights I take my b6/unisom dosage for nausea. But I almost always wake an hour or two before the alarm w low back pain. Def different than last pregnancy! Hoping it passes soon. I've been getting 7 or so hours so not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2049073 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:07:26 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2049073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKMM: So there's hope! :silly: I need to read up on Unisom... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2049068 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 20:58:31 +0000 MrsKMM 2049068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: definitely sounds familiar! Unisom became my best friend for a little while. It made me feel groggy in the morning so I took half of one. It only lasted a couple of weeks, but I remember hating it. I also thrive off of 8+ hours! :wink: I'm 19 weeks now and sleeping like a rock without the unisom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2048812 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 14:30:22 +0000 Anagram 2048812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still really nauseous so sleep is the best part of my day. I think between LO 1s wakeups And my peeing, I wake up 3-4 times a night but sincey husband is the one actually dealing with LO I feel as good as can be expected while this sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2048707 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:41:53 +0000 Corduroy 2048707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 20 weeks with LO2 and sleep is generally good. Unfortunately I woke up at 4 this morning because that's when my body decided I should poop. No sleeping after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2048701 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:34:08 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2048701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: That sounds very familiar! But at this point, more wide awake than uncomfortable...</p> <p>@Anya: :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2048691 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:22:43 +0000 Anya 2048691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poorly! I wake up every few hours to pee or because of heartburn. The pillow helps a lot, but sometimes I still shift in my sleep and wake up realizing I'm flat again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2048689 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:21:19 +0000 meredithNYC 2048689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28 weeks and over the past couple of nights I have been waking up once to pee but then I can't get back to sleep because I'm uncomfortable and just, wide awake. That said, the sleeplessness started much earlier with my first so it am trying to be grateful :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2048686 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:18:31 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2048686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure sleep is going to be hit or miss for the next 6+ months... But the last couple of nights have actually been better! :happy: Thank you all for the good thoughts!</p> <p>@ChiCalGoBee: Thank you! I think that will have to be one of my next investments!</p> <p>@Mama Bird: What are your favorite STTN snacks? Right now I'm loving PB on toast with banana!</p> <p>@Coffee-lover: @krispi: @TheSwissWifeStyle: Hope you all are sleeping better soon! :heart: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2047315 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 11:40:02 +0000 cascademom 2047315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I got a body pillow, my sleep has improved. Right now, a cold is doing a number on my sleep instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2047164 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 10:30:09 +0000 blackbird 2047164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been up and down like whoa. I had a few weeks where i was up all the time and now i'm in a spell where i'm actually STTN without waking to pee. It's weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046876 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 07:57:27 +0000 krispi 2046876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been surprised by how bad my sleep already is in the first trimester. I've been compensating by going to sleep earlier at night, but I'm still exhausted. It seems like I have a few rough nights and then a good night or two, and then start the cycle all over again. </p> <p>I prefer sleeping on my stomach and at almost 12 weeks I haven't converted fully to sleeping on my side. Laying on my stomach isn't too uncomfortable yet and helps me at least get some rest. I'm dreading when that's no longer possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046799 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 05:53:08 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2046799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 and a half weeks and I almost dread going to bed at night because I know sleeping will suck. I haven't received my giant pregnancy pillow in the mail yet, so hopefully that will help once it arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046716 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 00:26:14 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2046716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: Not currently pregnant (11 weeks pp so my sleep sucks anyway!), but wanted to chime in about pregnancy sleep! I never had the famed exhaustion of the first trimester-didn't have to nap once. On the flip side, I had terrible insomnia during the first trimester. I'd get up to use the bathroom and would toss and turn. Luckily, sleep got better for me in the second trimester, and was actually okay in the third. I'd invest in a full, u-shape pregnancy pillow early on if you can. I like the Leachco one. Congrats again on a healthy pregnancy!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046711 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 00:18:03 +0000 Coffee-lover 2046711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im 22 weeks and sleeping terrible! Side sleeping is killing me. I am only getting 3-4 hours of broken sleep every night because I am so uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046636 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:24:33 +0000 Mama Bird 2046636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: yep, the bad sleep and weird dreams are classic pregnancy symptoms :happy: I totally had them the first time. Not this time though, I can't nap or go to bed early any more, so I sleep like a log unless I'm really really hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046629 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:18:16 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2046629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I need to look into that! And thanks! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046614 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:07:40 +0000 simplyfelicity 2046614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: Yay on hitting the 12 week mark!!!! :grin: </p> <p>I am still on unisom and b6, so that helps me sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046507 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:20:05 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2046507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: This does not sound promising... Yeah, and the dreams have been pretty wild, though with these short nights, I feel like I'm getting a lot less REM sleep. </p> <p>Thank you!!! DH and I are both very excited! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046465 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:57:29 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2046465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sleeping like crap! Mostly just from baby crushing my lungs but I know hormones can also cause a lot of disturbances early on. Crazy dreams were a big one. </p> <p>Congrats on your baby boy by the way! I love my little boy so much!!! They are wonderful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046459 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:51:04 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2046459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Ugh...that's what I was worried about. I did shift work over the weekend, so maybe that's contributing... But otherwise, I guess I'd better start bracing for the long haul! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046451 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:47:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2046451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's how I was with LO1. This time around I have a toddler and I'm still consistently working out so I'm actually sleeping better than I ever have this time around! lol if I do happen to wake up for something other than going to the bathroom, I do have a hell of a time getting back to sleep though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-sleeping-1#post-2046445 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:45:17 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2046445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this is my first foray into the this stage of pregnancy (currently at 12weeks)...and for the last 6 days, I've only been able to sleep more than 4 consecutive hours once. And once I wake up, I'm unable to get back to sleep for hours, if at all. Sometimes I have a grumbling stomach and a snack helps...but not always. And my usual "happy place" is somewhere close to 9-10 hours per night, no insomnia (but routinely 7 hours on work days). </p> <p>How is your sleep right now? Does any of this sound familiar? If this doesn't get better soon, I guess I'm just prepping for when baby gets here. :meh: </p>
