Sleeplessness

Sleeplessness is one of the most terrible thing that ever could happen. I had the similar situation. I used to spend most of the nights just blinking. I had pain in my shoulders and legs were sore. My husband used to sit up the whole nit tapping my shoulder to make me comfortable but it was of no use. Somehow I overcame those hard nights.. Whenever you feel pain in your legs, try to dip your legs in warm water. I felt much better while doing that.

Insomnia during pregnancy is horrible...It is always horrible! Before sleep I drink herbal tea, and try to find a comfortable position with my pillow. Books also helps me to go asleep! They work like a sleeping pill)

sleeping during pregnancy is a true struggle.
sorry to warn you, but it only gets worse as you near the end.

you can sleep on your back. its only a risk in the last month where baby is really getting heavy. no need to worry about that now.
and by that time sleeping on your back will probably be uncomfortable so you wont do it anyway

im 38 weeks, and basically wake up every hour due to loo trips and painfull hips. i sleep with a pillow and a warm beanbag between my legs which helps a bit.

if the preggy pillow irritates you, rather try smaller pillows.

Hi ladies!

Hope you are all well.

So let's talk sleeplessness (Insomnia)..... geez I'm nearly 18 weeks and i really battle to sleep these days. I have a preggy pillow but sometimes that thing is just so irritating. Lol!! My shoulders get so sore from lying on my sides the whole night. Before pregnancy i slept on my back, i 've read its unsafe during pregnancy and if i do lay on my back its also uncomfortable.

So what do you do to help you sleep?
