Arghhh help! Pregnancy insomnia :(

[dottydee3]

Pregnancy insomnia kicking in already at just 6 weeks! I was so sleep deprived for my last pregnancy how do I make it stop???!
Any advice/tips appreciated

I've struggled with this at certain stages of pregnancy (and I'm sure I will again, there's still time!)

Sometimes my brain just won't switch off and I don't think there's a magic fix for that, although someone suggested listening to a sleep or relaxation track, which I haven't tried but might help.

What's helped me is making myself as physically comfortable as possible. We had a rubbish old mattress and got a good quality new one, which is heavenly. And I have a pregnancy pillow which I don't always use but it's good to have the option.

Another thing I noticed is that I would sometimes wake up hungry, especially if I'd eaten an early, light dinner. So I started eating a snack before bed (unless I was still full from dinner) which did seem to help.

Pregnancy yoga is good too, I usually have a great night's sleep afterwards.

Thank you so much for your reply I'm going through dig out my pregnancy pillow! I think I will do pregnancy yoga but a little further down the line it's such a good thing tho x

My gp gave me drowsy anti sickness tablets to get the drowsy side effect. An option to consider if you get desperate and are fine with medicating your problems

Thank you truly I generally avoid meds even even not pregnant but good to know there are options
