I can be dead tired but wide awake till 1am. I slept no issues with M and she was a horrific sleeper / napper for most of her first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1744102 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 20:56:04 +0000 BeachMama 1744102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had insomnia. Even when DD was a newborn and I was surviving on no sleep, I still had trouble falling asleep at night. She's a great sleeper though so it looks like she didn't catch the insomnia gene from me! I'm 5 weeks pregnant now and haven't slept well the past 2-3 weeks. Kinda dreading the next 35 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1743813 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 18:27:42 +0000 Kimberlybee 1743813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pregnancy insomnia and also pp insomnia but my DD was a great sleeper and napper. I don't know the issue was but I am finally sleeping better at 14 months pp, not every single day but enough to make me function great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1743772 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 18:08:30 +0000 namaste 1743772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't sleep well. It's gotten easier but I'm often up at 2 or 3 AM. My sleep schedule is all over the place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1742986 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 11:43:09 +0000 Meridian 1742986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The insomnia is tough!! I don't have it every night, thank goodness... maybe 2x a week when I'll wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back asleep for over an hour or more. So painful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1742925 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 11:18:05 +0000 mdf106 1742925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had insomnia throughout pregnancy, and my LO is a great sleeper. Unisom helped me get enough sleep to function at work. I slept better, and was much less tired, with a newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1742354 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 07:24:08 +0000 winniebee 1742354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a terrible sleeper when pregnant. </p> <p>Last time I don't remember it being bad until 20 weeks. But then I couldn't fall asleep until like 3 am and had to wake for 7 at work. Started taking unisom and that helped me go to sleep though I still woke frequently to pee </p> <p>This time I have been restless since day 1. I pee 2-6 times a night and am generally really restless. I will sleep like crap for2-3 nights then like a log one night. And my son is up by 630 every single day. Unisom isn't really helping me now unfortunately. </p> <p>I totally slept better with a newborn last time. </p> <p>Sorry!! You aren't alone though :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1742344 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 07:04:59 +0000 MrsScottish 1742344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 23 weeks, and have really struggled the last 3 or so weeks. I also just started summer holidays, which I usually struggle to transition to!<br /> I am exhausted by 9 pm, and usually fall asleep by 11 or so, and then wake up several times (2-3) and by 5 am wide awake. Our puppies seem to think a great time to get up is 6 so I get up and hang out on the couch for a bit. boo!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1742339 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 07:01:33 +0000 swedishfish 1742339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it with my first pregnancy in the third trimester but it's started early with this one. I'm only 9+2! I sleep for a few hours then wake up then sleep then wake up. It's a terrible cycle. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1742335 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 06:52:28 +0000 MamaBehr 1742335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it with every pregnancy. With my first it was bad around 25-30 weeks and then went away. With my second it wasn't as bad, but a little more consistent throughout the pregnancy. My third pregnancy was pretty bad and it lasted to the end. I actually was up a lot the night before my c-section! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1742298 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 06:02:54 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 1742298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not slept well this entire pregnancy and I'm 37.5 weeks. But I wasn't a great sleeper before so that might have contributed to it? Pregnancy has made sleep a lot worse. DH tells me the 5 trips the bathroom a night are so I can be ready for a newborn, it's our first! But the days like today where I wake up at 5:30 for no reason and can't fall back asleep are the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1741873 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 14:11:11 +0000 babybean404 1741873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 36 weeks and I have had insomnia on and off for the past few months. I think mine is related to stress/anxiety--when I wake up because I have to pee, I start thinking about everything we still need to do and then I have trouble falling back asleep! But honestly I have gotten used to it and it seems like I'm functioning OK even after a night when I'm up for 2 or 3 hours. I hope it gets better after she's born but I have a feeling it won't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1741559 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 07:18:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1741559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it with my first and have it even worse with this pregnancy. I wake up at two and can't sleep again until five. My OB gave me a prescription to help but it leaves me foggy all day.</p> <p>With my first I actually slept better with a newborn than I did pregnant. Hopefully that's the case this time too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1741554 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 06:58:44 +0000 FaithFertility 1741554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do and I'm only 17weeks, I can't get comfortable,, wake up 2-3 x to pee, and just wake up...</p> <p>Then I'm extremly tired during the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-insomnia#post-1741523 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 01:42:38 +0000 sandy 1741523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since I gave up caffeine years ago I usually sleep great. And I don't remember having difficulty sleeping with my first pregnancy but with this one I have so many nights where I'm so tired but I just can't fall asleep. Or I sleep for a few hours and I'm wide awake for hours in the middle of the night. I'm scared that is a sign that this baby isn't a good sleeper and I'm somehow being prepared to survive on less sleep </p> <p>Anyone else have pregnancy insomnia? Did it last through your entire pregnancy? I'm tired and I just want to fall asleep! </p>
