No Sleep

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I can't seem to shut off at night. I am literally surviving on 4 hours sleep a night and have a toddler to look after when my partner is at work. I never had this issue with my first. I was always really tired but I just can't get to sleep no matter how hard I try. Has anyone else experienced this whilst pregnant?

I have no advice just sympathy! I'm 33 weeks and I can't sleep at all. Sad

Me too. Never been the best sleeper for 'not being able to switch off'
But Omg this has been the pits!
Either can't switch off. Can't get comfy.. ( miss laying sprawled on my belly)
Restlesseg syndrome and feet that feel burning hot and dry. But to touch they're not..
Currently pacing up and down my lounge, no heating on so I get chilly and tired from pacing in hope that I can crawl into bed and sleep.

I’m awake too! 17 weeks.
Mega tired 4pm-9pm, had a snooze at about 8 for a while, now I can’t sleep Angry Feeling hungry, aches and pains, brain won’t stop. So annoying.

I have a constant headache and feel drowsy but I just can't go to sleep! It's so frustrating! I hope you ladies are able to get comfortable one way or another x

Signing in. 31 weeks tomorrow and have been insomniac pretty much whole time. Am ready to chop off my restless legs despite being on all the supplements. If anyone knows of any magic sleep potion you can take while pg now is the time to mention it Confused

29 weeks and can’t sleep.... my hips are so sore and it’s boiling in the bedroom. I woke up at 1 convinced it was time to get up

12 weeks. Insomnia for 6 of them. Can get to sleep but not stay there sigh. Generally every night until about 5 nights in a row where I’m so tired from no sleep and toddler I pass out and sleep til 5. Still not happy with an early wake up but I’d take it rather than tossing and turning for HOURS

I have had this as well and I'm 16 weeks now. It's so frustrating. I am now having periods of just wanting to sleep all the time but I'm not sleeping properly then. It's like weird half sleep. So I still feel awful.
