I am 28+5 and suffering with terrible insomnia. I am awake for hours every night and then exhausted in the day. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

You’re not alone! I’m only 13 weeks but have had insomnia pretty much since I found out I was pregnant. Vivid dreams that wake me up and anxious mind that takes it from there! I think I’m surviving by napping on a weekend and sometimes for 30 min after work.

I'm the same. Takes me until about 1.30am to fall asleep then I'm up through the night and then wide awake at 6am because I am literally starving! 38 weeks pregnant at the moment

22w tomorrow and I either cant sleep at all, or cant stop. Up til 4am some mornings, then awake between 6am-7am.

I'm no longer pregnant but at that stage I found it helpful to go for a long enough walk in the hour or so before bed and it would tire me out so I would sleep for longer without waking.

34+4 and I've been awake since 2am with insomnia and anxiety... I'm absolutely exhausted but I just can't get comfy enough to switch off and sleep 😫
