Pregnancy insomnia

hsheets94 · December 2014

Who else is having trouble sleeping their third trimester!? All I want to do is sleep but can't get any damn z's! It's so frustrating, especially with a 16 month old I have to chase around all day.

hsheets94 · December 2014

Sound asleep! Everyone but me.

Your post is kind if funny to be reading at 3 AM

It's weird, I'm not too uncomfortable to sleep, my body just won't stay unconscious through 3 to 4 am.

I wake up around 3am most nights but I don't usually have trouble falling asleep. I can go back to sleep about half an hour after waking up most nights.

colleen4019 · December 2014

Me too! Up for a solid 2-4 hours at at stretch.

I'm 4 days away from 3rd trimester. Can I still play?

It's Christmas Eve and I don't have to work. I had to pee at 5 a.m. and here I am still awake at 6 a.m. FML.

This! No matter how late I stay up, I can't sleep in past 4:30. Occasionally if I'm not working I can fall back asleep between 6-7 for an hour or so. It's the weirdest thing.

I don't have much trouble sleeping - but my H wakes me up every night for snoring too loud. My carpal tunnel gets worse at night and then I have trouble falling back to sleep.

Sleep? Whats that?

stine28 · December 2014

I've only had two insomnia nights, but on both I woke at 2:30-3:00 and was up for the day. I'm really hoping those don't pick up in frequency, my energy levels can't handle it! I really feel for all our STM+'s. I can't imagine all the running around you have to do on practically no sleep.

jesslynnw90 · December 2014

I don't have trouble falling a sleep most nights, but I can no longer sleep in. No matter what time I've gone to bed.

lawsonellis · December 2014

Every 2 days or so my body decides it REALLY needs to know what's going on between 3-5 am. So I bump and facebook and Pinterest for 2 hours and then I can generally fall back asleep. But when my work alarm goes off 2 hours later, I want to step on puppies faces, I'm so grumpy.

TLDR; yes.

WinningColors · December 2014

Add me to the club that can't sleep through the night anymore. I'm not uncomfortable, I just wake up and have a hard time falling back asleep. And forget sleeping in. I have a feeling those days are gone for good.

ETA: One good thing about waking up early is that I made my 5:45 AM gym class this morning. It feels good to have my workout done!

nursestephanieee · December 2014

Seriously. This sucks. I need to sleep!!! Lol :-q

finallyourturn2 · December 2014

I'm in this club! I can't sleep. I'm not uncomfortable (carrying twins and measuring 38 weeks I am thankful for this), but I have to flip from side to side all night because I get dead hand on whatever side I sleep on. The minute I flip to my back my snoring wakes me up. Plus having to pee. Plus my body just thinks 3am is a good time to wake up (sometimes even 12:30). Not sure how I am going back to work after vacation.

Lol, I am simultaneously empathizing with you and imagining poor puppes getting cartoon-squished by a pregnant lady.

copperrose · December 2014

If I don't take a sleeping pill I am up for a few hours every night.

rfarquhar32 · December 2014

Almost 27 wks with twins...and I wake around 3-4am tooo! I am waking also drenched in sweat...yuck...anyone else? No matter what I try ...wake up sweating.

lisap0924 · December 2014

I've slept good all week so far..knock on wood!!
But last week was hell. Up at 3-5am every day

tatilopez · December 2014

I had really bad insomnia last night. I was so restless. I went to bed at 10 dozed off and up by 1140 just tossing and turning up until h had to get up for work at 430. Made him coffee laid on the couch thought the change of scenery would work. Surely it didn't! By 830 I finally went to sleep! Woke up at 10 bcuz everyone else is calling and txting and long behold baby kicking. So I just said to hell with it. Maybe tonight will be better. **Shruggs!

PHNJenna · December 2014

I seriously never knew this was a thing before my pregnancy. I am with all of you who are wide awake at 4am and can't go back to sleep. It sucks, I'm tired and have to be a nurse by day and it's hard and I have now deduced that the infamous "pregnancy brain" comes from lack of sleep and being up at the ass crack of dawn. My pattern is that this is typically an every other night occurance.

Jlr025 · December 2014

Same story here, I've been up since about 3:30. Can't fall back asleep so I came down to the couch. This happens 3-5 times a week. I fall asleep fine at night just wake up around 3 or 4 am. Somedays I can go right back to sleep others (like tonight) I'm up for about an hour. I just want to sleeeeeep

hsheets94 · December 2014

Well all I can think about is how our pregnant bodies NEED rest and all the sleep we can get before baby gets here. But we are up wide awake a lot throughout the night. Smh and get to lay here listening to my toddler snore awayyy ugh so very frustrating because my body is exausted!

helendalton · December 2014

Yup same here. Go through period of a week or so with virtually no sleep then crash out for one night for it all to start again. Like many of you ladies not uncomfortable just seem to have strange waking hours!

5feetshort · December 2014

My legs are so sore I can't sleep. I also can't find a way to get comfortable. We are away from home right now which is making it harder. I've resorted to surfing the web and crying- neither of which is going to help my situation

rfarquhar32 · December 2014

I hear ya... I had crappy night...not sure how much sleep I got. Been awake off and on since 3 am. finally just got up...cuz I was hungry.

jstobs · December 2014

I am also up between 3-5 every night. I don't mind it. But my husband does when I start to play on my phone and wake him up with the light of my phone

rfarquhar32 · December 2014

Lol! I do that! I roll over and start checking my phone in the wee hours of the am too...

akj166 · December 2014

Just started with the insomnia... Up between 3-5am every night, my mind swirling with everything that needs to be done. I just tried to clear my mind...

mamaspajamas · December 2014

every night for the past two months...up until 3,4,5 AM then fighting the urge to sleep during the day..so hard to quiet my mind at night and I feel extra vigilant. I think I've become nocturnal..maybe I'll lay an egg instead of a baby!

marthah05 · December 2014

I have what I call my "intermission" I sleep from about 11-3 and then I am up until about 5 or 7 depending on the day then I nap until 9 or 10am. I am lucky to not be working right now, but when I have a doctor's appointment early it isn't easy. I have tried to build my intermission time into my sleep time but it just happens earlier, and for longer. My husband can't seem to understand why I am still tired when I get up. He sleeps through the night, and the poor dogs think it is a new routine to go potty in the middle of the night. This has been going on for about two weeks now and I still have about a week left of my second trimester.
