Severe insomnia but only sometimes?

I have had several nights over the last few months where insomnia suddenly hits and I literally do not sleep the entire night. It happened maybe 2 or 3 times over the Christmas period, a random night in early January and now randomly I’m having another night where it’s 2:30 in the morning and haven’t had a minute of sleep yet.
Weirdly though on the rest of the nights I sleep really well. It’s like it goes from nothing to really severe? I am 30 weeks pregnant and it’s only really started happening in this second pregnancy. Is it a weird pregnancy thing and will go away by itself or do you think I should go to the doctors about it?
So fed up with it now and started getting anxiety going to bed not knowing whether it’s going to be a night of no sleep or not!

Get this too. Tonight being one of those nights 😔. I've linked it to my menstrual cycle though. Definitely hormonal. Could it be that?
