Exhausted but can't stay asleep?

Is anyone else having problems staying asleep? I'm exhausted during the day and I've been taking naps and then when I go to bed, I get maybe 3-4 hours of sleep and I'm wide awake. I seriously considered painting the nursery at 4:15 this morning, that's how awake I was. It seems like the smallest thing wakes me up too. I'm just so tired and I know that's why I'm getting even more emotional. I try so hard not to take naps to tire myself out for bed, but I'm falling asleep on the couch, in the car, everywhere. Is melatonin safe to take? I'm going to go crazy if I don't get anymore sleep than I am. And I might drive hubby over the brink as well.

    Oh this was me last pregnancy, it was awful! I think it's the rise in your progesterone. It got better in the second trimester. Good luck!

    Same here. I fall asleep easily but then my bladder wakes me up 3 hours later and I can't get back to sleep. Then I do and the cycle repeats. I have to get in bed at 9 just to get a good 7 hours by 7 am.

    I did find out that taking up to 3mg of melatonin is OK during pregnancy! I might try that if this doesn't get any better in a few days. I'm just worried about falling asleep in class when school starts back!

    Me too :(. I'll wake up around 2-3am to go to the bathroom and it takes me a couple hours to fall back asleep. My littles wake up around 7, so at least I can sleep until then
