10Wks and already a raging insomniac!!

[princesspea161]

Its near as darn it 5am and I have been pacing the house since 2am.

My name is Melanie and I am 33. I am a nurse (who is taking a lovely long career break with my 4 kids). I am 10wks pregnant with baby number 5. I suffer from Hyperemesis which Im on Cyclizine for. This has stopped the actual vomiting but I feel so nauseous 24hrs a day. My one escape from feeling like death warmed up was my sleep time.

Now, lo-n-behold I can't sleep to save my life! Its just been this last couple of days but its so frustrating as before this I was dropping off nicely. I went to bed at about 9.30 and laid wide awake for 2 hours. Hubby then put his arm on me and TWANG that was it! I have been sitting in the lounge ever since. My youngest (Ashton nearly 2) will be awake soon, (thank heavens my husband not at work until teatime today).

Anyway, does anyone have the same prob? Any tips to help an over-exshausted, over-emotional mum? Right now i will try pretty much anything. Anyone who is still with me after this rant, I really appreciate it!

I wish I could help it must be awful I find it hard enough coping with 1 little boy with the nausea and tiredness but at least I am getting sleep at night

Bless you hun, hope you manage to get some rest soon - especially with other children to look after

i've only just found out that i'm pregnant (5wks #1) and i've been like this for the past week! i'm tired about 8pm but when i actually get to bed in lie there staring at the ceiling!! its so frustrating as i'm one of these lucky people who never have disturbed sleep - EVER! suppose it'll be practice for whats to come!

i now wake every morning at 5am without fail, regardless of what time i go to bed at night. It has the effect of making me absolutely exhausted by the afternoon!
