could be many things. Added hormones cause odd and sometimes very real and scary dreams. And a growing belly makes finding a comfortable position hard and sometimes impossible. But if you do find sleep, try to embrace it as much as possible in preparation for your new baby. Rest up!

I know you've heard this before, but your body is going through so many confusing hormonal experiences! It's absolutely normal to have trouble sleeping while you and your brain adjust to all this.

It depends, you might have too much on your mind so you could try relaxing while listening to music.

you may also suffer from indigestion or heartburn, or leg cramps. You may be too anxious or excited to sleep. Or you may simply ache from carrying around extra weight or struggle to find comfortable support for your big belly. Once you do get comfy, a few well-placed kicks from your baby can easily wake you up.

While pregnant your hormones change a lot. You could be having trouble sleeping due to that or due to many other factors such as the baby moving around, etc.

well it is very normal in pregnancy as when we face biological changes definitely it effect our sleep and appetite. so there is nothing to worry as its medically proven that due to pregnancy we feel dull and low and it results either in over sleep or less sleep.

If nausea, back pain, fetal movement and constantly running to the ladies' room aren't enough, some women develop restless legs syndrome (RLS), snoring, wild dreams and insomnia.

Because of the way your baby is positioned. It mostly happens in a later trimester, when your big tummy is in the way.
