Did you have trouble sleeping

in your early months? I am just about 2 months and I cannot get a good night sleep. I toss & turn & can't get comfy. it's so frustrating. Just wondering if anyone had sleep problems this early on.

Re: Did you have trouble sleeping

I'm 7w1d, he last week or so, i've been waking up like 3 hours earlier than normal, and having to make myself fall back to sleep. I wake up feeling like I am ready to be awake, but then I realize I am so so so tired.

Re: Did you have trouble sleeping

All my sleeping problems are thus far bathroom related. I'm 23w6d and I've had two nights of 5 uninterrupted hours of sleep the entire pregnancy.

Yes straight away, I'm 11 weeks and I'm still not sleeping, Up to pee every 1/2 hour doesn't help

I had insomnia in the beginning. It went away and its back full force at 39 weeks.

Oh yes, the peeing in insane. I don't get it! I mean, when the belly is bigger, pushing on the bladder I understand, but why so much pee now!

I read in one of my preggo books it's something to do with the increased amount of blood in the body and kidneys working harder?

Re: Did you have trouble sleeping

I am 11 weeks and sleep terrible. I am generally a light sleeper but I wake up in the middle of the night wide awake. I also wake again about 530. I read that the pregnancy hormones cause insomnia and also speed up the kidneys. Hence the added trips to the bathroom.

Yes, the random waking in the middle of the night was one of my first signs I was pg this time. I don't wake as much in the middle of the night now, but I def. am up a lot earlier than I used to be.

Re: Did you have trouble sleeping

YES!!!! I have no problem falling asleep, but I wake up for the bathroom, some times to change positions, sometimes for no reason. Friday I was up at 3:30am and could not fall back to sleep!

Re: Did you have trouble sleeping

i am so glad you posted this! i have woken up almost every night around 3 am, not to go to the bathroom, however. i just feel sort of tense and anxious and it wakes me up! i have never had insomnia in my life.

Re: Did you have trouble sleeping

Yes. I slept terribly around 3 months through almost 5 months (there were some other stressful things going on in my life at that time though, so it's hard to say what was doing it). Around 5 months I got about a month's worth of good sleep, and now as I'm getting close to 6 months, I'm not sleeping again. My doctor seems to think it's hormones.
