Carrie Underwood Just Got Real About Pregnancy Insomnia on Twitter
Sleeping while pregnant isn’t easy—just ask the 78 percent of moms-to-be in the United States who experience pregnancy insomnia. Carrie Underwood just revealed that she’s currently dealing with pregnancy insomnia in a series of tweets—and they’re nothing short of relatable.
On Friday (December 21), Underwood was up early with a Twitter letter to her pregnancy insomnia. She was rightfully annoyed with the sleep she’s lost while carrying her second child. “Dear pregnancy insomnia,” she wrote in a tweet published at 1:29 A.M. EST. “Please go bother someone else…like dads. Go bother dads. My husband sleeps so soundly and peacefully and I’ve been awake for 2 hours (so far). How is this fair? Imma lose my mind!”
Fellow moms and moms-to-be on Twitter chimed in with their own stories about pregnancy insomnia and their support for the singer. As if carrying a baby for nine months weren’t hard enough, several women also shared that they also lost sleep during their pregnancies.
Underwood followed up on her original tweet with an update sharing a little sleep-deprivation-induced behavior. While she couldn’t sleep, she went on an online beauty product shopping spree—with a grand total of around $600. (In her defense, there’s a lot of great holiday gift sets at Sephora right now.)
Fellow country singer Maren Morris could relate.
Underwood is currently expecting her second child with husband Mark Fisher, which she revealed the pregnancy in a video on her Instagram account earlier this year. Difficulties like pregnancy insomnia aside, Underwood said in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning that the family is excited to welcome its newest member—especially her 2-year-old son, Isaiah. “He’ll be really sweet and talk to my belly and kiss my belly. He’s the sweetest little boy,” she said. “But no kid can really know that their life is going to change…. He’ll have to share Mommy.”
