Slight Insomnia.... urgh!

Tish84 · November 2015

Waking up around 1-2 am every night with a full bladder...

And then I'm wide awake and struggle to fall asleep.

Could this be a symptom or is it just me? :P

Me too! I sleep like the dead at first but then I wake up between 2 and 3 to pee. After that, I'm awake. If I'm lucky I sleep lightly until 6 when I get up.

You can add me to this group!! No wonder I'm so tired during the day.. I'm awake all night!

Me too!! I wake about 3 am, pee, then stare at the ceiling until 450 when the alarm goes off.

I luckily wake up later to pee, more like 5 am, but I can't fall back asleep anyway.

My daughter is waking up around that time, after I put her back down, I can't sleep. For me it's anxiety/excitement about this pregnancy

I have been suffering too - it doesn't help when you are already exhausted! I think i could feature in walking dead at the moment, i am literally a walking zombie.

There is such a thing as pregnancy insomnia so we aren't alone

Same thing here! Last 2 nights wake up at 5 to pee and can't fall back asleep. And just very restless sleep throughout the night also.

I'm having the same problem. I thought it was just excitement and nerves (I did IVF and am now pregnant after the 2nd round). It's like I have no energy during the day but can't sleep at night.

@ThePax89 I'm right there with you. I don't have to pee my son wakes up, cries for maybe 20 seconds than puts himself back to sleep. I, however, am up for hours later. It's HORRIBLE!!!!

I haven't slept the best this week but I think it was because of excitement about the pregnancy and concern for my dog who had surgery. Last night was better.

I had really bad pregnancy insomnia with DD in my 3rd trimester. People told me to get lots of sleep while I still could but I couldn't!

**stuck in box**

I had the same with DD in my 3rd trimester. I used to get so annoyed with people saying "get sleep now!" because that's all I wanted!!

I'm in the same boat... waking up at 1-2, wide awake... I have to pee, AND I'm hungry. And then I can't go back to sleep! I just want to sleep!

I'm also experiencing this. Wake up to pee and then it's hell trying to go back to sleep. I read online to not turn the bathroomight on and try using a night light and it might help you fall asleep faster as you won't be as alert as you would had you turned the light on?

I did this during my first pregnancy, and with middle of the night feedings/cuddles. I always would leave the light off. Definitely helped some!

I dream a lot normally, but they are super weird and realistic when I am pregnant. It is actually something that made me POAS. That said, these dreams are so odd that I have to tell myself when dreaming that it is only a dream. Sometimes I can stay asleep, but more often than not I can't go back to sleep.

Woke up at 3am...now again at 4am...sigh...

reyesdnh · November 2015

Same thing here! And on top of that it takes forever for me to go to sleep as well. I also can't stand the sound of my husbands breathing. It's as if it's magnified by 100%. I love him and constantly want to be around him, but as soon as we go to sleep it's like a switch is turned. Insomnia sucks.
