Pregnancy - Teens Support Group

This community is dedicated to the experience of being pregnant as a teenager. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s. However, there are additional medical concerns for younger mothers, particularly those under 15 and those living in developing countries. For mothers between 15 and 19, age in itself is not a risk factor,...

I feel like I havn't slept in weeks. I lie in bed every night for hours before I actually fall asleep. every hour almost, I wake up. Sometimes have to pee, or whatever it is. Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing this? I'e tried everything. Decaf tea before bed, a nice relaxing hot bath, a massage from my hubby. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm only 7 weeks and 4 days. I hope this doesn't last the entire pregnancy. Any suggestions anyone?

waking up and needing to wee is A PAIN IN THE BUM! You get it early and late in the pregnancy. I don't get it anymore thank god! But for I while there I couldn't sleep at all, and not always because of my dam bladder.

Early on you get the need to pee more from the hormones and later it is because of the baby putting pressure on your bladder.

Hmmm as for suggestions...No idea what to do, even if you cannot sleep try and rest as much as possible. Good luck though and tell me if you find anything that works I would LOVE to steal it for the next pregnancy

Well I had the same problem and am now, 37 weeks and still having the same problem. I just tend to try and take a little nap earlier in the day and also try not to eat anything right before i fall asleep. What you eat or drink at nighttime can give you heartburn, acid indegestion and trouble sleeping. The running to the bathroom will go away in a few months and then come back within the last month. It sucks but at least it doesnt' last the entire time non stop. Good luck with everything and chat me if you need any advice or support.

well it doesnt matter if u do or dont eat before bed cause either way i wake up with really bad heart burn and pains in my stomache the doctor says its cause the baby is stretching it out and what not. then peeing for me is now like every 3 hours i go to sleep early then i wake up at 3 then at 6 and then at almost 9 ish so its ok for me . the first 3 months is hell so dont worry ull settle down soon i know i did by the 3rd month. the only thing i hate now is when my boobs leak its gross and i cant seem to find a bra that fits so yeah i take anything as it comes and wish it would stop soon

good luck

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
