I am just over 6 weeks pregnant with baby #2 & 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) & sometimes I nap & sometimes I don't but either way I can't sleep at night 
Did this happen to anyone else? Any advice?

Have you tried using a snoogle or body pillow?

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).

I had trouble sleeping through the night from weeks 7-11.. and it's still ongoing... 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.
Hoping it passes soon!

Bless your heart!! Hope you get some good rest soon.

I have a hard time falling asleep and wake up at least twice a night now. Once to pee and once because of DD!

@artbee: Maybe it's time to bring out my snoogle again! I didn't think I'd need her (lol) until the second trimester but maybe this go around I do...
@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?
@mrsjyw: I'm sorry you're having trouble too! I also have been having crazy dreams
@Alivoo01: thank you!!!
That's so sweet! @chopsuey119: I wake up for those same two reasons ;P But falling asleep is so hard! I remember sleeping better than ever last pregnancy
I hope we both get some sleep soonthanks ladies

@sulli301: Doesn't hurt to try. Good luck, hope you get some good sleep soon!
-
@artbee: thank you! My husband will be thrilled our 3rd bunking buddy is back

Sleeping has been hell for me the second time around. I've been sleeping with a body pillow since day 1
-
@sulli301: Lol, my DH HATES my snoogle. But puts up with it to make me happy
-
@blushink: Agh! Maybe that's my problem too
I slept awesome with DD but this time it's been a struggle Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone@artbee: Aww! Good
DH will let me too, but I feel bad because he gets less cuddles lol
-
@sulli301: DH doesn't like to cuddle while sleeping
We have to get the cuddle time in before we fall asleep. He just doesn't like the snoogle taking up half the bed.
-
@artbee: haha yes it takes up half our bed too! Makes us want a king over our queen!
-
@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.
-
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...
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.

I hae been having issues in my second trimester sleeping, I feel like I wake up 2x a night at least for no reason. 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!
That's so sweet! 
I hope we both get some sleep soon
