Sleep

I have been so tired but I am having a difficult time sleeping at night. It takes me forever to get "comfortable" which is weird because it's not like I'm showing or anything. When I do fall asleep I wake up 2-3 times in the night, sometimes for the bathroom but most times for no reason. I want sleep!!! Anyone else having a hard time sleeping?

Re: Sleep

  • My boobs being sore sometimes makes it hard for me to get comfortable. I've been sleeping in a sports bra to help with that. I still wake up a couple times a night like you mentioned. Some days are worse than others. I take advantage of being off for the summer and take afternoon naps....for some reason, I have no problem getting comfy on my couch!

  • Yes!  My DH thinks it is crazy I can't get comfy either.   One side makes my whole leg and feet hurt, the other side makes my stomach hurt......I don't know if something is pushing on nerves or something in there, but it takes me a long time, I've even tried all kinds of pillows all over!

  • I had a hard time the first few weeks, but it started getting better around 6-7 weeks. I found some good bras to sleep in and I try to drink most of my water for the day before dinner so that I'm not peeing as much at night. I also try to fit in a 20-30 minute nap after dinner, but force myself to get up (go for a walk if I'm groggy) so that I can stay awake until at least 9:30. that has helped me to sleep better and be able to fall back to sleep after peeing.

  • I'm having trouble sleeping through the night too. I get up once to pee but the other times, I feel like I'm waking up because I'm uncomfortable. I'm not showing yet and my boobs still hurt but that's getting less and less every week, thankfully. I've been having back pain a lot lately so I think that's probably what's waking me up throughout the night.

  • I'm having a hard time too.  I toss and turn trying to get comfortable, and I also have to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night too.  I never had to do that before.

  • this is why I love my snoogle. It's so much easier to get comfy when I wake up (most of the time, nausea is a sleep killer)

  • Have you looked into getting a Snoogle? I've heard nothing but rave reviews about them!

    Besides the obvious getting up to pee a lot, I've been having the most messed up dreams since my BFP. I had miscarriage nightmares all night last night, and don't feel well-rested at all.

  • I wake up every night at 2:30 -3am and have to go sleep in the guest room for the rest of the night.  I need to stretch out so once I do that I tend to sleep better.  I made a joke to DH asking him if I should just go to bed in the guest room cause that is where I will end up anyway.

  • Thanks ladies, glad to hear I'm not alone.

    I guess I'll look into getting a Snoogle. I never would have thought I would be having a problem sleeping this early on!

  • Since I started sleeping with the Snoogle, I go to sleep in one position and don't move the entire time.  I wake up exactly how I started.  It's good stuff!
