hormones....aren't they great! Actually, I had an overactive thyroid during my pg and had to take medication....before that I felt anxious all night and could not sleep.

Wow, i didn't know that hormones affected that too...... Now that you have the medication are you sleeping well?

I'm 16 weeks along and yes i have trouble getting comfy at night. My husband gets annoyed because I toss and turn and rearrange my pillows. I just watch t.v. and maybe make a hot cup of tea. Taking a nice warm bath before bed really relaxes too. Reading. Try those and see what happens.

Sorry to hear that, it sounds miserable. I have been sleeping fine (I'm at about 11 weeks), like a rock, but I often wake up in the middle of the night ravenously hungry, or thirsty, not to mention needing to pee. All the sleeplessness remedies I know are just general ones, like keeping a regular schedule, having a dark, quiet room (not even a glowing digital clock), chamomile tea, warm milk, maybe a little whole-grain cereal... of course you can't have a shot of rum! i also like stretching my muscles a little at bedtime, it helps me relax. Good luck. Talk to your doctor -- there must be something you can take if the basics don't work.

Thanks for replying Jodi34, intlbaby and tryingx3! I think I will try the bath at night and some of the other suggestions :) What's horrible is I remember all the sleepless nights happening further in pregnancy not sooo early- but i will try and remedy because I want to SLEEP..... Thanks sooo much.... Lorie Ann
