I toss and turn ALL NIGHT!

Anyone else? I don't know if its because I constantly am laying down since I'm so tired or what but I toss and turn like a damn rotissere chicken all night long! Please tell me I'm not the only one that is already uncomfortable sleeping.

me too! I have every night since I got my positive test last Thursday. I'm exhausted, but just can't sleep! I usually fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and sleep hard all night long. I took a benadryl last night and slept the whole night!  someone mentioned taking Unisom the other day to help with sleep.

I am definitely with you on this one. I am also up going to the bathroom anywheres from 2-4 times a night which doesn't help. It seems like I will eventually fall asleep but then I will wake up and have to pee and then it will take me a while to fall asleep again.

I toss and turn a lot. But I'm also getting up 4-5 times a night to pee! Everyone I talk to says insomnia is common in the first trimester and if you can't get comfy try a body pillow. Also pay attention to your body temperature and adjust your house accordingly. We used to keep our house at 70-72 but now I can't sleep unless it's between 67-69.

 Good luck!!

Definately right there with you. Took my first test less than 24 hours ago, After the first positive test I bought five more which were all positive. I still haven't told my boyfriend. I think not telling him yet may be why I can't sleep!

I'm convinced it is either that or the fact that I can't take my normal medications anymore!

I do too! I started using a fluffy pillow to "hug" while sleeping, and it helped some, but I am getting a body pillow this weekend if not sooner....hopefully that helps!

I toss and turn a lot as well.  I usually sleep a good 4 hours straight then it's all over the place from then on.  I pee 2-3 times a night too.  I wake up sore, and stiff. I've been sleeping with a big pillow between my legs and it helps a little. Hopefully it gets better before it gets worse.  I remember sleeping a little better in 2nd tri.

I have temp controll issues.  my feet and arms get cold, but my mid section is always too hot! i now sleep with a throw blanket just for me so i can better regulate when DH is in bed (he's a really warm sleeper and i roast now!)  getting tired of the tossing and turning.

Thankfully I haven't had this problem. But my doctor did tell me that if I have this problem I can take Benadryl, as an added bonus he said Benadryl can help morning sickness.

Unisom works for me, also helps relieve morning sickness. HTH

I definitely toss & turn all night. I just want some solid rest before I have a newborn again. I had a snoogle when I was pregnant with my son. I think I might get another one (wore out the first!) and see if that helps me sleep any better.

Yes! I am the same way. I've had major insomnia ever since finding out about 3 weeks ago. Getting up to pee multiple times a night doesn't help. I have cut off my water intake later into the evening so now I'm only up once or twice instead of five times, lol. I can't sleep on my stomach anymore and I oftentimes wake up in the middle of the night sooo hot! Sleeping in just doesn't happen either. I've had the last 10 days off work and haven't slept past 7:30. It's all a little odd but could be worse!

Good luck everyone!
