Pregnancy insomnia doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t fall asleep.

That said, it may mean you can't stay asleep. For many women, falling asleep may be as easy as it's always been for them — but they might find themselves waking up in the middle of the night without the ability to roll over and drift back.

"I have no problem falling asleep, but I have trouble staying asleep," What to Expect mom nibarra11 says. "This entire week I've been waking up in the middle of the night and I just lay there with my eyes closed. Then I doze in and out. I have migraines now and I think it's because I'm not getting enough sleep!"

Tossing and turning? If you find yourself wide awake after 20 minutes, get out of bed and read or try to accomplish something small around the house.
