Help with sleep

Is anyone else struggling with nighttime sleep? I am almost 12 weeks pregnant but seem to wake up every couple of hours throughout the night so its really broken sleep and leaves me exhausted the next day. I think its anxiety waking me up but maybe also a bit of hormonal interference. I don't know if this is just normal or if there is anything you can take to help from the Doctor or natural remedies? Anyone had anything similar happen to them?

Yes! I’m the same! Im about ten weeks, I think it’s the hormones and the hormones. Are you tired during the day? I was taking 1hr+ naps during the day because I was so sleepy but I’m trying not to, and hoping it’ll help send me to sleep at night. I also (and idk if it was coincidence) hugged a pillow to help support my bloated stomach lol and it help me sleep better last night.

I'm 9 weeks and in a similar boat. Although I keep needing to pee in the night as well! I'm struggling to actually get to sleep and drift back off now 😞 no solution from me other than when I can in the day I try to close my eyes and rest a bit

Progesterone can either make you super tired or give you insomnia. You can switch between the two without any real rhyme or reason. I’m 9 weeks today and currently in the insomnia stage again! I’ve found staying off screens a couple of hours before bed to be the only thing that seems to help! X

Anyone else wake up feeling like they’ve been hit by a bus???

Every morning I’m so sore! My stomach feels crazy heavy, my arms and neck hurt, don’t even get me started on the back pain. I cannot do this for another 3 weeks 🥴😴🥱

Boy or girl? 🩷🩵

I've just had my 12 scan and I'm curious as to what people think the little one might be ☺️

I know you can look into the nub theory, so I'm curious if some of you can tell 🤨🤭

This is the clearest photo they could get due to previous C-section scar and baby just not playing ball today 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Heart Shaped Uterus

I am 5 weeks 5 days and had an early scan this morning due to cramping last week. Everything on my scan looks exactly how it should and the consultant was happy. However she did mention I have a heart shaped uterus and implantation occured on my right. I asked what did that mean and she explained uterus has a slight drip which makes it heart shaped. She said it's nothing to worry about. I stupidly googled after the scan and read there is an increased risk of miscarriage etc. Does anyone have a heart shaped uterus/have positive stories?

12 week scan

Hi ladies

Got my 12 week scan today, first pregnancy and very excited/ nervous.

What questions did you ask if any during the scan? I’ve elected for all screening to be done.
