Having trouble staying asleep

Hello! I’m at 9W4D gestation. My insomnia seems quite bad the last one week. Between 4am to 7am I will wake up once to pee but normally after peeing I’ll be able to get to sleep immediately. However recently it’s just sleepless mornings and it is affecting my day at work badly. My energy level drop and lack of sleep + hormones makes me cranky even more. During week 6-8, I sleep very well without any disturbances at night. Can anyone tell me if this will pass or it will go on and on until the child is delivered? And I’m not sure if I should seek help from my gynae about this.

Hi there, I believe insomnia is very common and I’ve experienced bad one in the same period too. I’m at 12 weeks now and it’s been a bit better, but for me i felt is mental anxiety and stress, plus i keep getting tummy ache at night or sometimes need to pee! i have started trying out meditation to cope with this. hope it helps you too!
