insomnia in early pregnancy anyone??

hi all  my edd is 15th of october,  im almost nine weeks, the last three weeks have been a NIGHTMARE for me in the sleep department. i am awake at 3-4 am EVERY night regardles  of  what time i get to sleep. i know insomnia is common in later pregnancy as you can't get comfy with a big bump but clearly that isn't the problem for me at the moment with me  still only being  in my first trimester. 

its driving me crazy and i just wanted to know if anyone else has ha  this so early in pregnancy??? xxxx

  • Im now 18 weeks and I find I fasll to sleep easily - then wake up after 4 or so hours and just lay there wide awake for an hour before getting back to sleep. I assume is hormones

  • i had it in my 1st trimester then it went in my 2nd but arrived again now im in my 3rd!!

    my advise if you are wide awake get up have a drink or watch a bit of tv read ect then go back to bed i found it made it worse if i just led there and willed my self back to sleep it never worked and id just end up cross.

  • I'm exactly the same hun! Googled it last night actually! I'm 5+3 & it's definitely getting worse. I'm exhausted but then get to bed & struggle to get to sleep then I'm wide awake much earlier than I would be normally & can't get back to sleep!! Think it is just hormone changes!! X
  • Hi ladies, I'm 7 weeks today and like clock work every morning I'm up at 3am!! Needing a wee then not being able to get back off to sleep after - it's tossing and turning untill I wake up for work at half 6! It's not good x
  • Keepthefaith I'm also suffering from insomnia. I am about to fall over tired and still can't fall asleep then when I do I get up 50 times to readjust or use the bathroom
