2nd Trimester

Anyone having trouble sleeping at night?

I am getting really annoyed. I lay down but can't seem to fall asleep til 1 or 2am. I toss and turn all night long. When I first lay down around 9ish I get up to pee every 15 mins until about 11:30 or 12. This little girl just keeps kicking my bladder ughhhh. I have taken Tylenol PM and Unisom and I sleep great but I can't do that every night!!! Any tips? I try to watch my fluid intake but that doesn't seem to help.

  • I fall asleep just fine but find myself waking up every hour tossing and turning. And then when I get up in the morning I have a monster headache from not getting a good night's sleep. It's making me very grumpy.
  • Me too but I hate to whine because I know that it's only going to get worse.
  • I am having awful dreams that are extremely vivid, I remember everything when I wake up too.  Sometimes the dreams are scary sometimes just weird and they never make any sense to me, but they usually disturb my sleep...then I also wake up at 5:30AM everyday like clockwork to PEE! UGH
  • Yup, this happened to me last night and usually does every night. I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee. Usually around 2-3am every night. And, i am finding myself sleeping on my right side or back when i should be sleeping on my left side.

  • Me too but at least at this time I am able to nap during the day at times so I am not really missing out on sleep. It's doesn't really help that my 2 yr. old has been fighting going to sleep and getting several times a night too.
  • I'm able to get to sleep but I have been waking up feeling like I got beat up.  I'm sore and I guess I need to start stretching.  I feel like an old lady.

    I stop drinking all water/fluid (even something that might be considered thick liquid like yogurt or pudding) by 6pm every night.  I pee pretty consistently until about 9, then it tapers off, and I still end up getting up 2-3 times (minimum) each night.  I can't imagine NOT stopping my fluid intake! 

    But yes, I have trouble sleeping also... and I'm sooo tired.  I toss and turn and cant find any position that is comfortable.  It's not at all fun.

    This would not work for me. I wake up feeling parched and have to drink water to get back to sleep. 

    I was waking up from hip/back pain, but the Snoogle pillow has helped that tremendously. 

    Wish I had more suggestions!

  • Try taking Phenergan. It's a medicine to help with nausea. It will make you pass out just like you are taking Tylenol PM, but it's safe to take everyday! 

    Just ask your doctor for a RX.
