I am only about 5 weeks along, and I cannot sleep....I wake up about 2.5 hours everynight for some reason and cannot get back to sleep...Anyone else have this issue???...

Oh my Gosh! I totally no what you are talking about, but Im 10 weeks. I saty up most of the night, I try to sleep, but can't. Im starting to believe that Im becoming nocternal. I thought that I was the only one. I wonder if this is a normal symtom. I tend to wake up with my stomache growling also, I started to keep a box of cheeze its crackers and a bottle of water next to the bed, so I won't be fumbling around in the dark. If you find out what causes this, please let me know.

I will sure let you know, my 1st doc appt is next month...i know with my first baby all i wanted to do was sleep and now a few hours a night is luxury, and its so frustrating, because I "feel" sleepy...I go from room to room from couch to couch trying to just sleep somewhere...I will let you know what I find out...

I did a little research on the web and they said that it is normal to feel this way, but they did not state why or what is the reason. They only stated that taking a warm shower or bath right before bed may help relax the musles. Like you my next appointment isn't till the 6th next month, so quess were both gonna have to wait it out. I'll let you know if I find or hear anything else. And I will let you know what my dcotor says as well.

My mistake I spelled my own name wrong, must of been a type error.

Hi Nahcol..Hope this finds you doing well...Maybe you spelled your name wrong because it was after 4am..lol..well last night i slept for 6 hours...It was wonderful...My poor husband, tried coming to bed, i was already asleep, i woke up for a sec, told him he needed to go to the couch that i was comfy alone and i needed the space..lol..poor guy, i apologized this morning...my sis is a doctor and she also said it was normal, so I have quit worrying about is, and hopefully tonight will be another good one...let me know if you want to exchange emails and talk besides here...have a nice day...Stacy

Glad to hear that you got some sleep, you were right, I was tired from being up all night. Seems like I've become an night owl. LOL! Since Ive been extra tired lately, I seemed to be awake most of the night and asleep most of the day. I have to get back on track. Well here is my Email in case you want to chat sometimes, Candid826 @aol.com
