Sleepless Nights

Hello ladies, I'm 25 weeks pregnant and experiencing insomnia. Is anyone else going through this and is it normal?

Most people here are going through this. It's very normal at this stage of pregnancy. Try stretching, a pregnancy pillow or body pillow, warm milk, relaxation techniques, breathing techniques, etc.

In addition to my body pillow, I also use a wedge pillow to help support my stomach when sleeping on my side. I've found that it helps with the hip pain I had started experiencing.

OB recommended Benadryl when I can't sleep. But yeah, very normal. I keep flipping from side to side because my hip & butt start hurting. Not to mention the constant stuffy nose (even when I take said Benadryl).

I had 3rd trimester insomnia with my first pregnancy and knew it was coming so I made sure I had some new books on my Kindle. Sure enough it hit this week and I'm typically awake from 3-5am. If I remember correctly, it tapered off towards the end of my 3rd trimester last time so I'm hopeful it is just related to a hormone surge or something.

Kbrands7 thanks for commenting. I purchased a body pillow yesterday and it helped some. I will try the other things you suggested as well.
