Hi all,
I just wanted to post on here because no one in my real life who has been through pregnancy seems to be able to relate and only replies with ‘god help you if you can’t even sleep now…’
im 22 weeks. For the last 6ish weeks I have had really bad sleep progressively getting worse. It’s a mixture of what I think is insomnia (going to bed feeling tired but my mind just never switches off) and nights where I am tired but my whole body aches within 15 minutes of being in any particular position.
i have a healthy BMI, I’ve never had sleep problems before or any type or physio or skeletal problems. I have a little bump but no one can even tell I am actually pregnant yet.
I don’t understand why I ache so badly. I have a few different pregnancy pillows, they don’t help. I’ve tried the two other beds in our house and my sleeps no better there.
if I’m on my back, my lower back ends up really aching, even with something supporting under my bum. If im on my side, my shoulders go dead, my hips hurt even though I usually sleep this way and I have a pillow behind me and between my knees.
I woke up this morning after having a combined sleep stretch of about 90 mins and just cried.
is this only me??
