How many times are you getting up at night now?

Up until last weekend, I was doing pretty well and only getting up once. Now I'm getting up 2-4 times a night and sometimes I'll get insomnia and won't be able to fall back asleep. For example, Sat night I got up at 2 am then again at 3am then couldn't fall back asleep until 5 am.

I don't recall too clearly from LO#1, but, I think it gets a lot worse as the weeks progress? How are you ladies doing?

  • Usually anywhere from 1-3 times. It's been like that the entire time I've been pregnant though.

  • I average 3X a nite for this whole pregnancy. I feel pretty good if I ever get a solid 4 hour block of sleep anytime during the night.
  • My problem is going to sleep the first time.  It's taking me sometimes 2-3 hours after getting in bed to actually sleep.  I'm beyond tired, but I can't shut my brain or my bladder down.   Once I'm asleep I wake up a couple time

  • I'm usually only able to sleep for stretches of 4 to 5 hours, waking for a few hours and then sleeping a little more. In the initial 4 to 5 hours, I get up 2x with the second being the one that keeps me up. Then I go again, sleep some more and am awake fo

  • Before yesterday I was only getting up 2-3 times. I think baby is dropping though, as I was up at least 6 times last night!

  • I am up 4-6 times a night.  I'm so used to it now though that I am half asleep the whole time and it hasn't been much of a problem to fall back to sleep.

  • Until the last month or so, I was surprisingly rarely getting up at all.  I'd wake up with some insomnia or because I wasn't comfortable, but not cause I had to pee.  But recently I'm up at least 1x to go to the bathroom, sometimes even twi

  • 34 times a night is the norm for me but I've been doing that pretty much my entire pregnancy.

  • Usually only once.  I'm pretty thankful for that fact because sometimes it takes me awhile to get back to sleep.

  • I'll wake up to adjust postions throughout the night maybe 2-4 times but I generally don't get up to pee until morning!

  • Every two hours on average. I get excited at three hours of sleep in a row! Last night it was every hour, but the blizzard may have contributed to that.

  • I've been awake at least half of the night for the past week now. I went from not getting up/waking up once to:

    waking up around midnight and falling back asleep, then 1am and not falling back asleep until 3, then 5am and not falling back asleep

  • Like PP said, I wake up to adjust position and then fall back asleep. Sometimes I get up to pee, but only once if at all. I've always had an unusual bladder though and pee less than "normal". I now pee more like a normal person or perhaps a bit more than

  • I don't at all... I sleep through the night. I haven't had to get up in the middle of the night since 1st tri, and even then it was only once in a while.
  • I am pretty lucky...I wake up a lot to switch sides because my hips get sore, but I usually only have to get up and pee 1-2 times a night. Sometimes I lie awake afterwards, but sometimes I can go right back to sleep. I could be a lot worse off.

  • Too many times for my liking. I am tossing and turning all night and then it takes forever to fall back asleep. I don't know how I don't keep DH up.

  • I'm up to 3-4x a night now. I find this ramp up of bathroom trips especially annoying as it's getting harder and harder to get out of bed...
  • Most nights I've been getting up every 2 hours like clockwork. It's pretty amazing. Every time I get up and look at the clock, it is exactly 2 hours later, so typically 3 to 4 times per night.

  • Sometimes I'll get up 5-6 times a night from either bathroom breaks or hip/leg pain.  We are in the home stretch and these babies are getting heavy.

  • every couple of ours... this has been going on for the last month or so... I'm a wee bit tired these days!
  • It varies. I usually go about every 1.5 hours during the night. I always have to go when I need to flip over. Last night was much crazier. My dogs kept barking every 5-10 minutes for about 30 to 45 minutes and everytime they'd start I'd jump and feel like
  • Always at least once, sometimes 2 or 3 times depending.
