Insomnia

Anyone else get hit with the pregnancy insomnia as bad as me?
I think it's a combination of excitement and nerves but man I miss falling asleep quickly and sleeping through the night!
It's been better the last couple nights than it was right after my BFP but I'd still love to be sleeping like a rock while I can. :)

    I hear you. If anything wakes me up in the middle of the night I'm done for. I've been peeing nearly every night around 2:30 and then again at 5:30 and today I just couldn't fall back asleep. I've had great experience taking valerian root for natural sleep aid in the past, but I haven't checked to see if it's safe for pregnancy.

    YES YES YES I Have been having a hard time sleeping before I got my BFP I laid awake wondering why the tests were negative and where my period was...now that I got my BFP I lie awake thinking about baby stuff and cant fall asleep because of excitement and then my back is sore so I can't get comfortable and I get up like 3 times a night to pee....

     

    I guess my body is just preparing for when I don't get any sleep with a newborn haha

    @ninadorit mine hasn't been so on schedule but it's annoying nonetheless! I was up from 4:30-6:30am one night yawning the whole time but just couldn't shut my brain off!

    @allibailey87 me too! I was sleeping fine (other than really vivid crazy dreams) before the BFP because I have PCOS that causes irregular cycles so I have a hard time knowing when I am "late," but now that I have the BFP I can't shut my brain off! It just keeps running and running at lightning speed!

    I fall asleep pretty quickly but am up 2-3 times a night either to pee or drink water or from some weird dream. N then I'm dead tired all day at work. I have the worst under eye circles ever!

    @eponomar thankfully I'm not dealing with the frequent bathroom trips at night just yet!

    I had the craziest dream last night. I dreamed the my husband had cheated on me and I woke up like mad/sad and had a hard time falling back asleep. My husband would never cheat on me so it was a bizarre dream.

    I got a body pillow the other day and it has worked wonders putting me to sleep- love the extra support for all my sore body parts. Of course, I'm still getting up to pee!

    I'm exhausted and fall asleep almost immediately, but then I'm up throughout the night and wide awake, but exhausted when my alarm goes off. Lovely, right?

    I can't fall asleep. Payback for sleeping most of the day. Benadryl here I come.

    I have been waking up with really intense nausea in the middle of the night :( worse than I have during the day (no throwing up yet, but I think that would provide some relief!) I'm trying to eat a little when I wake up at night to try and curb the nausea, but sometimes it's hard to when I'm feeling so queasy.

    My doctor says getting more rest/sleep can help with the nausea but the irony is I can't sleep because of the nausea!
