5w5d – Waking Up Every Night! 😴

Anyone else dealing with this? I’m 5w5d today, and for the past several nights, I’ve been waking up at least once (sometimes twice) to pee. And then around 4:30-5 AM, I wake up again and struggle to go back to sleep—just lying there thinking about the baby, pregnancy, and everything in between! 🥹💭

I feel exhausted during the day but can’t seem to get solid sleep at night. My confirmation appointment is this Friday, so I’m excited but also feeling the fatigue.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips for better sleep? 😅

Re: 5w5d – Waking Up Every Night! 😴

  • Last week I woke up between 4:30 and 5:30 every morning. I think it was the excitement. I started taking epsom salt baths (not hot) with lavender, camomile, and melatonin. That really helps me!

  • I have the same. My OB said that this is normal. You have to pee more due to the hormones
  • 5 weeks 5 days and I’ve been waking up every two hours to pee and attempt a bm like clockwork for over a week.
    I wake up for work at 430am so it’s really messing with my ability to be rested for my very physical work shift.

  • This waking up to pee frequently is exhausting me and my partner. Considering diapers or something
