insomnia!!!!

Is anyone experiencing majorly interupted sleep? i fall asleep early and sleep for 3 or 4 hours and then am up for 1 or 2 and fall asleep again for another hour and get up again... it's AWFUL.  Is this normal?  I don't think it's anxiety but maybe it is. I am doing breathing excercises and everything else possible I think.  please tell me this is a first tri thing

 anyone else?

i've been having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep too! i find that if i manage to go to the gym in the afternoon and not nap during the day, then im just too exhausted not to fall asleep and stay asleep

same thing! (hence I'm awake now!!) Can't tell you if it's just a first tri thing (1st pregnancy) but it sometimes helps if I have a snack, get on the computer (makes my eyes tired) and then try again to fall asleep.

Well according to my pregnancy books it's very normal. I get it as well so when I saw it was in my book I knew that it was just another symptom.

Sure is. I had it with my first pregnancy as well. I am exhausted and would fall asleep but could not stay asleep through the middle of the night. Awful. Ugh. Looks like this one is shaping up to be the same.

I have been up since 5 am and cant sleep!!  I am 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant and have had terrible sleeps!  I wake up every 2 hours to go to the bathroom and then just cant get back to sleep.  I am hoping it gets better but I heard it gets worse once our bellys get bigger.  I have been taking naps during the day which have helped a bit.  I also wear an eye mask at night which has helped.

 Good luck!
