I'm 17 weeks and I have no problem going to sleep... But I wake up a few times in the night to go to the toilet and then back to sleep... But the last week or so I've been waking up at 4;30, 5am and not managing to fall back asleep.... It's so annoying! Is this a pregnancy symptom? Is there anything that could help? I do nap now and again in the day and evening maybe cut them out if I can?

I was the same, it’s awful isn’t it! I used to put Netflix on and after maybe 2 hours would drift back off again, obviously wouldn’t be ideal if you had work that day! Hope you’re not too exhausted

I was the same. It started at conception! I slept through the night again when she was about 19 months.

Same here. It definitely got worse in the last few weeks (now almost 15 weeks). Last night I was awake from 12 until after 3 am. My sleep is very interrupted anyway because my DP snores and my DS still shares our bed and breastfeeds through the night. I have to negotiate kicking DP while trying to not wake DS. Then I need the toilet or feel so hungry I need to get up and eat a banana. Then back to bed where DS - now half awake because DP started snoring in my brief absence - demands to be fed back to sleep. Then the cycle starts all over again. To top it all, last night I heard a noise from the corner of the room that sounded like a rodent eating our walls
