Is insomnia a sign of pregnancy?
I've been feeling very tired and having trouble sleeping lately, and my period is also late. Could this insomnia be a sign that I'm pregnant? I'm feeling quite anxious.

I can only speak from my experience, but sleeplessness was one of my very first symptoms before I even missed my period. My mind was racing and I just couldn't sleep at night.

Yes! I just delivered last month and in my first trimester, insomnia was terrible due to hormonal changes. Taking a warm bath before bed helped me a lot during those weeks.

Yes, sleep issues happen, but don't spend money on expensive blood tests yet. A simple 50-rupee urine test strip from the local chemist will tell you if you are pregnant.

Hormonal fluctuations can definitely mess with your sleep cycle early on. Instead of guessing, just buy a home pregnancy test kit and get a clear answer.
