Sleep? I vaguely remember that! Pregnancy insomnia support thread

[isthismummy]

I thought it would be nice to start a thread for those of us out there suffering with the torture of pregnancy insomnia.

In my case I'm 11+6 with twins and tonight have attained my personal best of 90 minutes sleep. Just finished vomiting as exhaustion brings on my already dreadful nausea. I am at the end of my tether already. I was taking an overcounter sleep aid which I'd researched as being safe in pregnancy. However my pharmacist advised yesterday to be cautious and to drink camomile tea instead Spoiler alert: it doesn't work!

Please let me know I am not alone in my suffering. Rant away at your leisure...

Me too! Waking up every 1-2 hours either insomnia or wee related and then DS will predictably wake up minutes after I’ve finally fallen back asleep, every single time. My sleep tracker says I’m averaging 3 hours of disturbed sleep a night.

I’m a broken woman.

33 weeks and sleepless. It's my only symptom so I shouldn't complain but I'm so tired! I fall asleep fine and then am awake regularly from around 2am. Sometimes on and off, sometimes more consistently. Work is a struggle and I still have 6 more weeks left!

37 weeks today and awake now despite being exhausted! I held out for so long but now I'm making the nighttime loo trips I can't get back to sleep afterwards...argh. Just want this baby!

30 weeks and getting up to wee is the trigger! Lucky to be on maternity / annual leave already but it still does my head in. V jealous of the ladies that are due soon, at least you'll be cuddling with your babies soon.
