Hi ladies
I'm very new here, I'm 34+2 with my 3rd child! & have horrible insomnia, literally feel like I'm about to lose my sanity! I don't ever remember sleep being really an issue in my other pregnancies.
So basically it's taking for ever for me to fall asleep due to restless legs, heartburn & in general just being huge and uncomfortable! But when I'm actually falling asleep it's like I'm not in a deep sleep, then up every hour needing to pee, or my heartburn is kicking right off, but then it's taking me a while to drop back off. I'm up every morning between 6/6.30am to be ready and out the house for 8am for the school run and work, BUT I wake up between 4.30am/5am and can not get back to sleep. I'm probably having around 4hrs sleep a night but that is broken sleep not a solid 4 hours! I'm honestly dead on my feet, I'm so snappy & moody & emotional constantly which in return makes me have a low mood because I'm normally up & at em, happy, bright eyed and bushy tailed! But it's also creating anxiety, the lack of sleep is making me scared incase I develope depression ect.. basically I'm terrified incase the lack of sleep will affect my mental health! This also doesn't help the sleeping situation, it's just a big fat mess haha!
I can't nap in the day because I wake up feeling so fatigued and sickly! Is anyone else like this? Will I survive this? I'm at my whitts end!
Sorry for the rant & looking forward to hearing others horror stories 😆
