Insomnia

This not sleeping thing is really starting to get to me. I have not slept more than an hour this entire night and I can't remember when I slept at night last. I passed out on the couch late this afternoon after being out all day. I think that did me in. I don't know how to get through the next 6-8 weeks! If I didn't have to work or have such a long commute I wouldn't care. It almost seems like my body is getting me ready for the twins to come. Lord knows I won't be sleeping for the next year!! Not sure there are any answers but I just needed to vent

Anyone else like this? Could GD be the reason for this?

Re: Insomnia

I am w ya. Sleepless in New York!

I sleep in 2 hour limits, then I am up go to bathroom, walk around etc.

Welcome to the 3rd trimester
I am exhausted as well

Insomnia

3rd trimester definitely. I've had GD since 13w and was able to sleep just fine til I hit the 3rd. Last night was by far the worst. I was tired all day and assumed I'd have no problems sleeping. But my back hurt, I had RLS, and I ended up not falling asleep til after 4am. I was literally sitting on my couch sobbing around 2:30am b/c I was so tired but couldn't fall asleep. It sucks but I guess it's nature's way of preparing us for less sleep? LOL

Insomnia

I'm in my second trimester and insomnia has hit
Same thing happened last pregnancy - I did not have gd so I doubt that's a factor
I have no advice except nap when you can

Re: Insomnia

I am only 25 weeks, but I've had insomnia throughout this pregnancy. My doctor has me taking unisom and it helps me greatly! I still wake up to go to the bathroom or to adjust and get comfortable, but I get more than an hour or two of sleep a night and I fall asleep faster.

Re: Insomnia

I just started having this and I am 33 weeks. I get such pain in my hips from all the pressure on them that it wakes me up.

Insomnia

Same here...tossing and turning all night, hip pain and carpal tunnel
