So not fun. I will try the kindle trick (that way I can read and not wake up my husband) and maybe some unisom if this doesn't improve soon... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1400929 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 13:28:12 +0000 Mrs tartan 1400929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Urgh I have sympathy for you, I'm only 6 weeks and have been suffering from insomnia since week 4.<br /> The only bit of advice I can give is I have been having a warm bath right before bedtime and have my kindle next to me in bed. Reading normally puts me back to sleep after about an hour of reading. Sucks at 3am but better than lying awake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1400794 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:41:55 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 1400794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only sympathy!

I've had really bad pregnancy insomnia this entire pregnancy. I've started getting up and having a snack-I find that helps. If not, I curl up with a good book for a while and then try to sleep in a bit. But twice last week, I was up at 2:30 am for the day! Blargh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1400280 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:42:58 +0000 mkp17 1400280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I can do is sympatize with you. I'm in the same boat...waking up around 2:30 - 3:00 am every morning and not being able to go back to sleep. Hoping for a good night's sleep for everyone tonight!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1400126 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 09:57:25 +0000 MamaBehr 1400126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it with all three of my pregnancies. I remember with my first it hit really hard around 30 weeks and then magically went away by 35 weeks. I was a ZOMBIE. I drank coffee (I know I know, but my daughter came out fine:) ). I couldn't do anything to make it go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1399934 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 08:57:27 +0000 Rockies11 1399934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice, just empathy! I had it off and on throughout my pregnancy. I think it's hormonal. I never had trouble sleeping before pregnancy. When I was having a bout, I always just stayed in bed and told myself that if I couldn't sleep, I could just rest. The upside of it for me was that the night wake-ups with a newborn still gave me more restful sleep than the pregnancy insomnia! Anyway, hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1399896 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 08:29:51 +0000 bushelandapeck 1399896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No help here either. 6 weeks today and I have it something terrible.It was the same for me when I was pregnant with LO too and lasted throughout my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1399862 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 07:49:28 +0000 Ash 1399862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no help. I would just grab a snack and watch tv and be tired all day. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-is-killing-me#post-1399853 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 07:41:51 +0000 Alexandra603 1399853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies. As the title says, pregnancy insomnia is killing me. Today I woke up at 2:55am and haven't been able to get back to sleep. I never had an issue with insomnia before pregnancy. I'm not sure what's causing it - I'm only 22 weeks so I'm not that uncomfortable when I sleep. Any ideas or tips??</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
