Hello. This has been bothering me for a while but after just waking up after being up in the night about 20 times and laying awake on my phone for hours I am close to tears right now :(

I am 18 weeks although I feel this has been going on for quite a while now, and I know it will only get worse as my bump grows (it is a fairly small bump now although still there and visible).

Every single night I make at least 7 toilet trips, no exaggeration. In between this I feel I am waking up every 15 minutes or so, and also struggling to get comfy or get to the right temperature. I am either too hot or too cold etc. Then I will just feel wide awake for no reason, and lay there for hours even though my body is physically exhausted but my mind is so awake. And I’m so tired during the day but then can’t sleep because it’s daylight, it’s just awful.

Have also found myself having a lot of awful nightmares and am waking up crying quite often now.

I have never slept very well but this has all got so much worse since I was pregnant. Does anybody have any hope? Sad
