Insomnia?

Hi ladies,
  Wondering if anyone else is dealing with insomnia? I haven’t reached the stage of feeling uncomfortable yet, so thinking maybe it’s hormone related? I can fall asleep no problem, it’s staying asleep. Just curious if anyone else is in the same exhausted and cranky boat lol. Thanks!!

  • I am🙋‍♀️. It is definitely changes in hormones. Insomnia/nighttime anxiety is the first thing to happen to me when my hormones change...whether that's during pregnancy or post partum.

  • Yessss. It got worse with my first pregnancy too and starts early on. I take forever to fall asleep, and then I have to wake up to pee, or my other little one wakes me up, and then I’m awake for ages again 🤦‍♀️ Not sure if there is a solution but I try to limit drinks before bed so I don’t have to pee so much, and use white noise to block out husband/child noises.
  • Yes! Restless legs and insomnia since week 1 literally. Unisom + B6 + daily magnesium has helped tremendously! 
  • @lilamyo I was taking unisom/b6 early on for morning sickness, still have some left! Thanks for reminding me! 😊
  • I have been using magnesium lotion, and it help. I had noticed a huge difference in previous pregnancy.
