Insomnia

No tios, but I’m right there with you! Daytime naps have been my saving grace and are the only thing keeping me going x

it’s awful! I’m so glad I started my maternity leave this week otherwise I would be screwed! Xx

Same here, having eye mask on is really helpful, I toss and turn for a bit and eventually manage to fall asleep as there is no other stimulation.

It’s currently 4:16am and I’m scrolling 😅😭 Hip pain woke me up, then had to pee, then got itchies all over, then baby started with hiccups, started feeling hungry and was like you know what I’ve been awake so long now I’m going to just look at my phone. No advice (other than don’t be like me and keep your phone away)

that’s a good idea

oh I’m still awake. Netflix on… scrolling on my phone 😂
Just feels like one things after the other! When my legs stop getting restless she then gets hiccups, then I get round ligament pain. Then I need the loo… endless

I haven’t slept since April/May, it’s awful!!! 😭😭😭

I don’t think I’ve had a full night since February!

I’ve been a terrible sleeper for months, lately it’s got a little better after I made the following changes:
Stretching before bed to ease my back and hips (I do this in the morning as well)
Cool shower before bed.
Rubbing magnesium oil on the soles of my feet.
It’s not a miracle cure but I have found it helps a little!
I’ve been guilty in the past of giving up and scrolling on my phone but it’s the worst thing you can do! Even keeping a book by your bed and giving that a read for a bit is better. X

I’ve been awake all night too
Made myself stay up until 11pm and thought I was tired and when I tried to sleep I couldn’t !
Finally dozed off at 1.30am to be woken by my poorly toddler who wanted milk and he was then coughing , spluttering and kicking out all over me for the rest of the night 😆🙈
Zero sleep!
Feel your pain and feeling very sorry for myself too

Glad you put this post up as I suffer with insomnia so bad! I was sleepy last night and turned tv off around 11.45..by 12.30 I was awake and up needing a wee, same again at half 1 and then got hip pain and baby awake at 2..up again at 3 for a wee and then awake again at 4.15 and been awake since! I’m so tired and I’m almost 36 weeks x

I’ve had terrible insomnia on and off throughout my pregnancy, I was signed off for a month in May with it, no tips really just take care of yourself, nap when you can and I believe it passes when baby is here! X

I can get to sleep OK, but my problem is then staying asleep. Normally I end up having a 2 hour party in the middle of the night x

I get to sleep easy enough when I go to bed at 10-10:30 but then wake between 12-1am and then continue to wake every hour but am usually awake for 2 hours plus from 3am. Just get back to sleep when the husbands alarm goes off so then up from 5:45.

Thank you girls, it’s nice to know we’re not alone in this! Xx

so sorry to hear that xx
