Anyone awake? Pregnancy insomnia!

[CandleFlames]

34+6 and wide awake. Can’t get comfortable, can’t stop thinking about this corona virus and how I need to do a shop because I’m running out of things but v anxious to actually go out and do so, listening to sleep hypnosis on Spotify but got through 30 minutes and still wide awake! I feel slightly tired but just restless and uncomfortable and turning sides every 5 minutes and then getting up to pee constantly. Tempted to just do an all nighter and try to get a super early night tomorrow night! Anyone else up? And why?

Hello! I’m up feeding DD (13 weeks). I really struggled with pregnancy insomnia so you have my sympathy. If I had tried everything and still wasn’t falling asleep then I would admit defeat and do something else for a little bit. I often used to read for an hour or two. Maybe make yourself a soothing drink, and a snack if you’re hungry! Then try and sleep again later. I found the most useful thing was to try not to be stressed that I wasn’t sleeping. And that even if you just lie quietly it’s still resting to some degree. Didn’t always work but at least I didn’t start the next day already frazzled!

Congratulations on the pregnancy @CandleFlames.

Sorry to hear about your pregnancy insomnia, i always found I slept better with a pillow between my legs and a belly full of food. Other than that I'm out of ideas I'm afraid.

I'm currently awake and have been since 2am as DS who is 6months old has a night feed, he didn't settle as well as he usually does but he finally went back to sleep at 3am and now I'm wide awake.

Come over to the cafe, I'm cooking eggs this morning.

If you have enough in to last out Monday then, as long as you are not dependent on public transport, use a 24 hour supermarket at 5am.

There may be more people than usual but it will be quieter.

33 weeks and can't get comfortable. My ribs feel like they are breaking and I have to pee every half hour. I ache all over.

Not long to go though. Delivery at 36 weeks.
Looking forward to meeting my first son, third child and last.
What are you having? Do you have any children already?

i’m 31 weeks pregnant and wide awake with a teething 16 month old. she’s late teething so she’s just cutting her top two front teeth and she’s really miserable. i’d nearly weaned her off breastfeeding but she’s right back on it as a comfort thing so she’s attached to my boob whilst i’m watching the news. we’ve decided to keep our older two off school this week so my boyfriend has taken the week off too and i fully intend to wake him up at bang on seven o’clock so i can get back into bed and stay there until lunchtime!

I'm awake too! It's awful

35+0 here and awake after having a very vivid nightmare, which is annoying as always takes me age to get to sleep.

@happymrsc I’ve woken up screaming in terror from some dreams. They really are awful some nights, or just completely bizarre.
I was chased by a giant cucumber in one dream!
You have my sympathy.

Yes! Nearly 39 weeks here so not long to go. Had insomnia on and off. Nothing bf too bad so can't complain, been awake since around half 2. Got up about half hour ago and am now mnetting. Going to make a tea and pop the tv on in a bit.
Wondering if the shops will be empty at 9am when they open as could do with popping out.

33 weeks and and 5. I needed to pee and was going to hold because kitten is playing up. But somehow my kitten knew i was up... manages to open the door... pounces on my OH so today i gave in and fed him early so he will just let my OH gt some sleep but now i am wide awake.
