Insomnia

[Weebird87]

Has anyone struggled with insomnia in the first trimester? I've tried baths, reading etc but although I'm exhausted I can't sleep. Really starting to get to me. I work 10/12 hour shifts. I've asked others for advice and just be told it only gets worse 🙄

Yeah I'm only 6 weeks but insomnia is very common and then comes along the weird dreams. I do have one trick that works and that's the Calpol plug ins that are meant to help soothe the air. They are about five quid but really do help me relax and add a warm bottle and a book you should relax.

If I wasn't pregnant I would make myself a Horlicks but it has a lot of Vitamin A in it so not allowed.

It does get better, just need to find your routine. ☺

I had it with my 2nd. All I can say is it passes. I used to get up make myself a decaf cup of tea and curl up on the sofa with the telly on, I think that helped me because I wasn't thinking I can't sleep all time. Maybe a little lavender oil on your pillow.
Good luck hope you get some 😴
