Well I fall asleep hard at first then I start stirring and am on and off in my sleep till LO wakes up. Its like im waiting for her. Anyone else experience this? Im starting to think its just part of being a mommy

Yes, I've been battling with insomnia for the past few weeks.  I usually can fall asleep just fine, then around 2, I wake up, and it's hard to get to sleep. It's awful! My doc just put me on some anxiety meds, and I just started taking melatonin along with benadryl before bed.

Ya I take something for anxiety and thats right before bed but then I guess it must wear off or something and Im tossing and turning. I dont want to drug myself all up tho because when LO starts fussing I have to be ready since I do the early feedings but it probably is just anxiety

This happens to me occasionally.  It was really bad for awhile and I was also thinking that it was just part of being a mom and that I better plan to deal for the next 18 years!  Now, some nights I sleep fantastic, some nights LO keeps me from sleeping great and some nights my own brain keeps me from sleeping great.  *sigh*
