Your body and mind change a lot during pregnancy, so it's normal that some things take a time to adjust. On one hand, the physical changes make it that old sleeping postures aren't as comfortable anymore: even the first weeks, when you don't show yet, the bloating and your uterus growing change how things feel inside, so this can make it harder to sleep. On the other, hormones are very powerful and run through your body in enormous quantities at this time: they can make you anxious, content, restless, energetic, tired, angry, happy... They don't stop at night, so you can get stuck in a bad mood for sleeping (whatever it is for you: some get anxious, some get energetic, for others the brain just won't shut off) very often.
