Anyone get woken up by contractions?

I have had 2 nights of being woken up by a painful contraction. After I fall back asleep.

Anyone else have this?

I have been getting them at work lately, but not as much at night.  I keep waking up because I am rolling onto my back and that is pretty uncomfortable (so WHY am I doing it?!).  I keep having this feeling that I am not going to make it to my due date.

For pretty much the last 2 months of my pregnancy I had this. The last two weeks, I had a few nights of timeable contractions. By morning they would start to fade. My dr told me that often times contractions will come on during the night. Just keep an eye on them. I started to dilate at 31wks and I think those contractions had something to do with it. I went in to PTL right around then, so it is hard to tell how fast I started to dilate, though. Just make sure your OB is aware of what is going on. Hope you are able to get a good nights sleep soon!

Thanks Erin! I am already in PTL as of 33 weeks. UGH I had DD1 at 34 weeks. I am already dilated and effaced BUT I am the furthest I have ever been pregnany. I am so happy!! So It's just a waiting game so MW says. Also baby is breech so we have those other concerns also!

I was getting them late in the evening before bed (probably from overdoing it during the day...) but haven't had them in the middle of the night yet.

I get a contraction as I roll over from one side to the other.  I asked my Dh about this and he said that it could be the baby readjusting itself and to keep an eye on it if it is more that 4 per hour but I just get one doozy and then it goes away. 

 I hope you feel better.

The only time I got woken up by contractions was the afternoon I went into labor.
