Broken sleep.

Hi, I'm 16 weeks pregnant and in the last couple of weeks I've been sleeping really badly. I fall asleep quickly but then wake up at 2 or 3 am every night. I know I'm going to need to get used to sleep deprivation but it is rubbish. Anyone else had a similar problem and any tips to get back to sleep or even better make it stop? Thanks.

No tips sorry but I'm exactly the same. It's so frustrating . And DH snoring keeps me awake. I nearly pushed him out of bed last night as he was snoring in my direction! How dare he

Unfortunately I suffered with this too. I was prescribed sleeping tablets called promethazine. I actually sleep better now she is here!

I was the same. Now sleeping lots better at twenty one weeks. Might only be temporary.

My sleep throughout pregnancy was awful. Absolutely awful. I really feel for you, because I know how frustrating it can be. No tips at all I'm afraid, just solidarity.

Aaaaw thanks guys, fingers crossed it's just a phase. CremeDeSudo I completely get why the snoring drives you mad, I completely got the rage with DP last night because he dared to be asleep when I wasn't! Wish me luck, I'm off to try and get some sleep.

Still going on at 28 weeks here. Getting up for work is torture. No advice but lots of empathy! I find a strong coffee and plenty of water is keeping me going.

Might be a silly question, but when you wake in the night are you hungry?
If I woke in the night I could never get back to sleep for my rumbling stomach so always had a few biscuits on my bedside table for early hours emergencies.

Not noticed being particularly hungry but will try anything, especially if it involves emergency biscuits!
