Is insomnia common in early pregnancy?

Question

Is insomnia common in early pregnancy?

Answer 1

Yes! The first week or so after I found out I was pregnant, so around the fifth week of pregnancy I so could not sleep. I still wake up about two or three times a night and I am 14 weeks.

Answer 2

I didnt get it till about 5 months, having many problems sleeping. I had a few times early on but I think it was just from so much going on in my head. It wasnt a planned pregnancy so I had a lot of worry on my mind and that kept me from sleeping.  

Answer 3

yes and will get worse later on your pregnancy...this is due to the fact that even your sleeping or trying to sleep, your baby is busy developing and his/her metabolism is speeding up to catch up to that development...

Answer 4

YES!!! that is exactly how I found out I was prego!! I would stay up for hours on end not being able to fall asleep. It sucked. I would stay up until 4 in the morning until I started to get tired and I was used to being in bed by 10. Finally after about a week of it i went to the doc and they gave me a urine test and told me i was prego. Now i'm 32 weeks!! Due in october  :)    

Answer 5

I am 38 weeks pregnant, and I still haven't had a good night sleep since we conceived... i say it is our body preparing us for having a baby to care for throughout the night.... :)    

Answer 6

Yes, it can be.  Although every pregnancy is different for everyone.  I couldn't get any sleep in my 1st trimester.. slept wonderfully in my 2nd... now that I'm 33 weeks I can't sleep again!

Answer 7

Yes!  I was exhausted all the time but had such a hard time falling and staying asleep!  Mostly in the first trimester....we'll see if it comes back in the 3rd!

Answer 8

Absolutely! I just found out today that I am 5 1/2 weeks, and the last few days, I have been going to sleep around 4 a.m. and sleep til around 11! It can be torture, because I can't stay sleep either.
