I've been having trouble sleeping lately, waking up frequently. Is less sleep a sign of pregnancy, or could it be due to something else? I'm trying to connect my symptoms.
Less sleep or insomnia can definitely be an early sign due to sudden hormonal changes. But don't just rely on this symptom, track your periods properly. If you are pregnant, start practicing a good bedtime routine right now because sleep will become a luxury later!
Hormonal changes can disturb your peace and sleep in early days. Please try to pray or meditate before bed to calm your mind and help you rest. Stay positive, keep your mind beautiful, and take good care of your health.
Oh, this brings back memories of my midnight scrolling sessions when my baby was in the tummy! Yes, insomnia is very common in early pregnancy because your body is working double-time. Don't stress, just rest whenever you can during the day.
I just delivered recently and trust me, my sleep issues started from the very first month of pregnancy. I used to feel tired all day but just couldn't sleep well at night. Try having warm water or doing light stretching before going to bed, it helps.
Actually, I had terrible insomnia in my first trimester, yaar. I would just keep tossing and turning in the middle of the night for no reason. My gynac said it is very common due to progesterone spike, so don't worry too much.
