Im just 7 weeks and already not able to sleep at night properly, mind keeps racing and I feel restless. Thought sleep problems come later na, not this early. Is this normal for you all too?
My doctor explained that the high progesterone levels in early pregnancy can actually disrupt your normal sleep cycles, making you feel drowsy during the day but restless at night. She advised me to avoid screen time 1 hour before bed and keep the bedroom cool. It actually improved my sleep quality a lot.
I had terrible sleepless nights too in my first 3 months. Personally, I just stopped drinking chai after 4 PM and started listening to soft music before sleeping, which helped my mind calm down. Everyone is different, but this worked for me.
Same here! I used to stay awake till 2 AM just thinking about warm gulab jamuns or spicy maggi. What worked for me was having a glass of warm milk before bed so my tummy felt full and cozy, otherwise my midnight cravings wouldn't let me sleep!
Yes, sleeplessness is very common because of hormonal shifts. But if you are losing sleep because of extreme anxiety, rapid heartbeat, or physical discomfort, please discuss it with your gynac in your next checkup. Don't take any over-the-counter sleeping pills at all.
Oh honey, early pregnancy insomnia is just the teaser trailer for the main movie in the 3rd trimester lol! Right now with my huge belly, I have to pee every 30 minutes, so enjoy whatever rest you can get. Try a pregnancy pillow, it helps a bit.
Haan yaar, mere saath bhi same problem thi in my first trimester. Body itni tired hoti hai par neend nahi aati, bohot frustrating hai na! Try doing a light foot massage with mustard oil before sleeping, it really helps to relax.
