Hey All

I'm 6 weeks today and I have bad insomnia! I can easily fall asleep for 2 hours then I will be up, tossing and turning, lying with my eyes shut and telling myself I'm asleep, then finally giving up and wandering aimlessly around the house until dp gets up.

Getting max 4 hours a night with ling awake gaps in between, anyone else? I'm not worried, I'm just really tired haha!

Yep! 14 weeks now and been like this since 6/7 weeks 🙄 some nights better than others, but hard when pregnancy alone makes you feel exhausted, without actually being tired too 😂
I’m hoping it’ll pass for a bit, because I’m sure it’s inevitable later on in pregnancy and once the baby is here... well!

Flowersandrainbows2017 yep! Hoping this will get better for a bit, I'm so tired but then when night comes it's like BAM! I'M AWAKE NOW hehehe

Congratulations though! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy Flowers

I still have it at 22 weeks. It’s frustrating not to get good quality sleep. I feel like a zombie sometimes. I also get grumpy when tired, which doesn’t help when I need to be active and entertain during summer holidays w two dc and a young dog!

Im 16 weeks and i been like this for about 3 weeks now :( so tired. I wake up around 3am every night and cant get back to sleep. Doesnt help that my 1 year old also wakes up about an hour before me for milk !! Sorry you are feeling this way. Really hope you get back to your normal sleeping pattern x

I'm with you right now, 6+6 and I'm laying in bed while hubby is snoring next to me. I'm either way past tired or I just can't get comfy. I'm hot then cold. I can't get in the right position. I'm up for work at 6am too. All weekend I've been waking around 2-3am for a good hour 🤷‍♀️

18 weeks now and the same. No sleep.

Driving me slowly insane. My job means I'm mostly standing for 8 hours a day too. Literally almost cry every morning before work I'm that exhausted I'm just wondering if and how I will get through the day.

I hope it gets better!

Yes! And I have a co sleeping toddler to contend with too

I'm 22 weeks & like this the last 2 weeks. Going to bed absolutely exhausted and as soon as I hit the pillow I'm wide awake, takes me hours to fall asleep then I'm awake tossing and turning all night! I'm getting to the stage where I'm afraid to go to bed!
