Sleep

[ippa]

Oh I miss my sleep already, I can normally get off to sleep fine, but once I wake up for 1 of my many loo trips during the night I can't get back to sleep as my right hip aches so much it's painful, and I just can't get into a comfy position which stops it hurting!
Anyone else been like this?

my loo trips arent as frequent at the moment (so theres some hope you might find it eases off so you can catch some z's) but im getting quite uncomfortable in bed! and i guess its only gonna get worse lol. x

I am only 8 weeks but i get a sore hip to, had it with my first. I find if you put a few blankets down where you lie it helps. Give it a try hun, anything is worth a shot. I know how you feel x

Yeah, I'm really struggling with sleep. I'm going to the loo about 4 times a night, and then can't get back to sleep. Hubby wasn't happy with me last night

You can get those wedge pillows that look good...

My sleep has been terrible since the moment I found out I was pregnant....not because I'm uncomfortable, but I just sleep really fitfully and wake several times and find it hard to get back to sleep - I think it's hormones.

Yea I think I am going to have to invest in one of those pillows, but for tonight I shall trying everything that I have here already! Fingers crossed something will work!
Thanks girls

Hope you're getting some sleep! Some nights I'm sleeping ok. Tonight is one of those nights I've woken up to go to the toilet and now I can't get back to sleep. Back is sore, pillows aren't comfy........moan, moan, moan

At 17 weeks Im now down to 1 or 2 trips a night but yes then cant get back to it until about half an hour before I have to get up, Grrrrr!

I am fast asleep by 9pm, but when I wake up in the night for the loo ibhave to try to keep my brain "inactive" as if I let my mind wander to pregnancy thoughts I totally wake up! Also by 6am I am normally wide awake, even weekends, probably cos I've had 9 hours sleep by then! I have just given in to sleeping as early as possible and getting up early.

i have yet to need the loo in the night. I find if i go right before i go to bed....i can last till about half 7 when i have to get up to run to the loo. I never slept well before pregnancy so i'd say my sleeps improved! i have found that geting an extra pillow and lying it down the side of the bed and cuddling it (to my OH's annoyment) really helps.

 

[ippa]

Well my loo trips are now getting less frequent, so things are improving! The pillows certainly help though!

I'm getting pissed off tonight because I got less than 4 hours sleep last night, I have the cold and thought I would manage to sleep early tonight but no
I've turned the tv back on!

Sleep? I get up every two hours to go to the bathroom and then when I get back to bed my husband is snoring - which keeps me up erg! And by the 4th trip to the bathroom at 4am or 5am I just cannot get back to sleep. I think it is my body getting me ready for nursery hours....

Yes, im having trouble sleeping too. Can get off to sleep fine no probs, but find myself wise awake in the middle of the night, awake for hours! As someone else said, must be hormones
