Problems sleeping?

cdmkruger

Anyone else having problems sleeping? Ive never had any problems sleeping. Im 6 wks and 3 days and have been waking up around 3am wide awake and not falling asleep again till around 5am. I just want to sleep! Any advice? I work retail and definitely get my workout in everyday running from one part of the store to the next

Yep that's me too! Not really sure what to do about it. Been happening for a week straight. 4 to 5:30 I am awake. Sometimes don't even go back to bed.

Me too. And happened my last pregnancy too. Fun times.

Ughhhh me too! I don't remember if this happened during the frist trimester with DS but it definitely happened a lot at the end. I discovered if I get up and go pee the second I wake up, I have a better chance of falling back asleep quickly. Once I've been awake for 30 mins I get up and go do something like make DH a lunch or go for a walk in my backyard. Then sometimes I fall back asleep.
The worst is when you finally fall back asleep 30 mins before the alarm goes off.

It happens, and it's definitely common. I sometimes have more energy in the middle of the night than during the day.

Part of the reason I may be getting up is because DS has me incredibly used to random night wake-ups. He does it less, but the damage is done.

I only have empathy. 

Exhausted empathy.

OMG - that was me last night! (and the night before) In part I think it's my initial excitement for this pg. Well, I hope so b/c I need sleep! I expect the "excitement" to pass and/or to go to bed earlier.

Try a couple drops of lavender essential oils on your pillow or get a diffuser! It helps!
