Lack of sleep and lack of appetite

[samzi21]

Im never hungry at the moment and I'm also not sleeping very well. When i do sleep it's restless and ive started sleep walking again. Im 7 weeks pregnant and any help would be great.

Hello,

I recommend a visit to your gp about the recurrence of the sleep walking. Your body is going through some intense changes and depending on what may trigger your episodes of sleep walking some help may be needed. As for not feeling that hungry it is worth mentioning that to your gp also although it is not unusual to have a lack of appetite during early pregnancy. I certainly wasn't hungry in my early weeks, in fact I was losing weight rather than gaining... may even have been up until 20 weeks (can't remember exactly when) but you certainly will gain weight as you progress and baby gets bigger. I hope you find a way to relax. You'll shortly be having your first midwife appointment so write down a lovely list of any concerns and she will be there to help you through! Good luck and of course congratulations on your pregnancy.

My gp isn't really helpful, sleep walking usually triggerd by stress but thanks for the help

Is the stress bought about by worrying about the pregnancy including the lack of appetite and sleep? You will get support from people on here so do feel free to share what you're going through. You're not alone. What a shame your GP isn't helping you! That's awful! Can you see a different GP? What about your relationship with the midwife? I hope that you get the support you need from professionals as well as from on here.

I'm at exactly the same stage as you and have noticed the same pattern, not hungry and trouble sleeping event though I'm tired all the time!! So glad to be off work for Easter holidays for rest!!
