Trouble Sleeping

Is anyone else having sleeping through the night? I find myself waking up 2-3 times a night, having trouble asleep or waking up early.

    I have been falling asleep on the couch around 8pm every night, and at that point I'm dead to the world. The last week or so I keep waking up around 3:30 unable to fall back asleep, which is at least an hour before I actually have to get up. So yes, I'm right there with you!

    Same here! Been doing it for two weeks.

    Crap, is that why I haven't been able to sleep? I assumed it was a mix of excitement and anticipation but now I'm wondering otherwise.

    I have been waking up 2-3 times per night; once or twice to pee and the second or third time I just wake up when I move and I can't fall back asleep quickly. At that point, no position is comfortable. I see a pregnancy pillow in my near future. I feel sorry for DH.

    Here is some information that I found about this topic. Early in your pregnancy, you'll start feeling very sleepy during the day. High levels of progesterone bring on this sudden craving for naps. Progesterone is a hormone that helps regulate a woman's reproductive cycle. It also makes you drowsy.

    The flood of this hormone can make a normal day at work seem as taxing as running a marathon. You may feel so worn out that you think you're coming down with the flu.

    Strangely enough, progesterone can disrupt your sleep at night, leading to even more fatigue during the day. All you can do is rest as much as possible and grab a quick catnap whenever you can.

    Wow...this makes so much sense.  I haven't slept through the night in a week.  When I do sleep, my dreams are crazy and vivid.... Glad to know that I am not the only one.

    I have issues with my IT band and lower back, so I've been having an extra tough time getting comfy and sleeping well. I caved and bought the boppy full body pillow this weekend from target. I love it. Sleeping a little better, still waking up in the middle of the night though. My friend has the snoogle and loves it.

    I'm so tired in the afternoon/evening, but then when it's time to go to bed, I struggle to fall asleep. I get up once to pee now, but most nights I have no problem falling back asleep or staying asleep until DD wakes me in the morning. I'm trying to cherish it now bc I know I'll be uncomfortable and peeing more often in just a few months.

    I'm in the same boat! I'm dead tiered All day and then wake multiple times at night mostly to pee. I've been trying not to drink water after dinner to limit the wake ups. Where is all this pee coming from seriously !!

    I have been having such a hard time lately with this. I work 5 days a week and I take a nap after work but I can only nap and sleep for 2 hours at a time. I'm just happy that I not alone with this. I just really hope I find some way to sleep more.
