Insomnia

Ruby_Tuesday

I keep waking up at 2am and I'm wide awake.  I don't know what's keeping me up, anxiety, thirst, hunger, snoring DH...  I hate being awake when everyone else is sleeping and when I know that in a few weeks I will be woken up all night long when I do want to sleep.   Did anyone else deal with this?

good morning. Been up since 3:30. This is the third time in the last three weeks. Ironically when DH decides to join me in bed lately this happens. He's a restless sleeper some nights and his constant movements + the fact that I'm not sleeping comfortably these days = tragedy.

I'm ready to kill him tonight with the pillow he stole out from under me

I've dealt with this throughout this pregnancy. Especially early on and again in recent weeks. My insomnia has mostly been due to anxiety, but hunger, discomfort, and a snoring DH haven't helped. The only thing that's worked for me is 25 mg of benadryl right before bed. It's what my ob, mw, and mfm recommended (50 mg/ max for every 6 hrs). Good luck, I know it's an awful thing to deal with.

Hang in there. I totally remember being wide awake at crazy hours of the night, especially towards the end. That is when I'd usually check the bump or read a book/magazine or eat something light so that I could drift back to sleep. My MFM said tylenol was fine for discomfort (which I feel contributed to the restlessness).
