Is insomnia an early sign of pregnancy?
I've been trying to conceive, and recently I've had really bad trouble sleeping. My periods are also delayed. Is insomnia something that happens very early in pregnancy, even before other signs?

Hormonal changes can disturb your sleep patterns early on. Doing light Bhramari pranayama before sleeping can calm your nervous system, whether it is pregnancy or just stress.

Progesterone levels rise significantly in early pregnancy, which can paradoxically cause both daytime fatigue and nighttime sleep disturbances. A clinical test is the only reliable way to confirm pregnancy.

For me, late-night acidity because of heavy dinner also causes major sleeplessness! But yes, pregnancy hormones do cause it too. Better to check with a test kit.
