anyone else having a hard time sleeping?!

edited March 2011 in First Trimester
I am 5.5 weeks pregnant and I can't sleep. So uncomfortable. I dont nap during the day and am exhausted by bedtime, and yest sleep evades me because I'm just uncomfortable. stomach gets upset, joints ache, heartburn- everything! So aggravated.

What have y'all done to help it?

  • It just gets worse. I'm 24 weeks and can never sleep. :) best of luck dear!
  • I feel your pain! Sleep and I aren't on speaking terms. Lol
  • Im 39 weeks n I had a great pregnancy no sickness or nun jus tired n hungry :D but I also dont sleep only at night I can sleep durin the day jus fine tho
  • IM sooooo tired but cant sleep!!! Im nauseus
  • I have a bit of insomnia I think. I'm always awake about 2:30 (mountain time) and I don't usually fall back asleep until after 4:30. When I'm awake, something is generally uncomfortable (restless legs, indigestion, nausea, etc) so I lay here and toss and turn. It's not fair, I just want a solid night's rest! :s
  • This whole past week : (
  • Yep 32 wks and seems like im always up by 3 a.m.
  • Took tylenol pm 3 hours ago and still asleep. Bleh.
  • Sorry still can't sleep. Lol.
  • Sleep?? What is sleep? Lol in the book what to expect when expecting...they say mothers have sleepless nights to prepare u for those sleepless nights u gon have when baby comes...and that's why u get up to pee mostly at night...
  • I can't sleep more than an hour at a time if I'm lucky befor I have to wake up and fully sit up to roll over from pain in my back hip and knee or I strech and get the worst cramps in my calves most of the time it cramps so bad my foot gets stuck in a perfect ballet point and I can't move it so I have to get out of bed and stand so I can use my weight to push my foot flat
  • Im 23 weeks, I toss and turn and have very vivid dreams that end up waking me up at least 4 to 5 times during the night... not to mention if I have a charlie horse. :/

  • @minionmom the left side provides best blood & oxygen flow to baby. After 20wks, laying on your back cause put pressure on your vena cavea, effecting blood flow to you & baby. Although you can sleep on your back, but @ an angle or on your right side.
  • I just can't sleep being too excited! And hoping it all turns out okay..been spotting brown :(
  • Jeez I'm 6 weeks and I've never been so sleepy I've been sleeping better then ever.
  • With me its like wats sleep. This, baby dont want me to have a comfy sleep at all
  • Ugh I feel the same way!!!!
  • I can only sleep good when I'm exhausted! But nights like tonight, forget about it! I get up constantly to pee & this hunger wont let me sleep! I jus ate not too long ago right before bed but I'm ravenous all over again! I hate it! Its almost 5am, good thing I don't have to be up early!
