Pregnancy insomnia

[SickAndTiredAgain]

I’m not sure whether my symptoms are worse this time than with DD, or if I’ve just blocked out the memory of that pregnancy. But pregnancy insomnia is killing me! As if generally growing a person isn’t enough of a drain on your body, you have to do it while unable to sleep properly (and unable to properly eat as well)! It’s a poorly designed system, and I’d like to make an official complaint.

That’s my whiny rant over for the day - if anyone needs me I’ll be asleep under my desk.

No advice really but sorry to hear this. I had the same, especially in third trimester. I used to tell myself that even if I wasn't sleeping, at least lying down in bed I was resting my body, so there was still some benefit. But it's horrible, I remember it well Are you able to nap at all during the day / go to bed early to compensate? Sympathies.

Urgh tell me about it. I was up 5 times last night with heartburn (and then not sleeping in between). I just couldn't get comfortable in the slightest. Surprisingly, I'm not as tired as expected today...(yet).

Same..and its crap...instead of getting enough sleep now cause when baby comes wont have that luxury...its this...

I hear you!! I haven’t slept properly since about 5 weeks and it hit me the other day that I probably won’t sleep properly again for years 😭
