Keep waking up at night!

[Thebeesgomarching]

I keep waking up at night it’s usually around 2/3am.

Is this a pregnancy thing or something else?

I wasn’t like it before I was pregnant

Natures way of preparing you for having a newborn...that's my theory anyway as I currently feed mine!

Yep...babies love this time of night! I say as I feed my 3mo.

I'm getting exactly the same thing. I'm 6 weeks and if I wake up in the night it takes HOURS to fall back to sleep.

Always seems to be 2:30-3:30am wake up 😴

I'm up. Hod knows why as I'm absolutely behind with sleep.

*God

I'm up too.

I've been waking up at 2/3/4am since a couple of days before my bfp.

I'm only 6 weeks pregnant 😩😩😩

Currently 34 weeks pregnant and tonight I have been awake since 12.30am with no hope of getting back off. Have gone and cuddled up in spare room so as not to disturb DH (again)...

If this is your first babys please enjoy naps and sleep and rest oh and time to yourself when you can because some babiea really don't sleep alot at all. I have a newborn and a toddler and dont think I've had a full night's sleep in years, if only I'd known in my first pregnancy that the sleep I was getting was actually quite good in comparison

Hope I didnt scare you because you could be one of the lucky ones and have a baby that's sleeps through the nigh. I think my babies just dont sleep 😴

Get used to it OP. My DS was 5 before he started sleeping though.

This is so me at the moment! Last night was the worst I've had so far!
Woke at 2 am by 4 I was still awake so went downstairs so not to disturb DH.

Didn't get back to sleep 😴 today is going to be tough!

21+2

I'm 4 weeks and for the past week I've had terrible sleep, waking up all through the night. I'm usually such a good sleeper.

@Yesterdayforgotten wish I could take naps - I might not have kids yet, but I'm out at work 12 hours a day 5 days a week, which combined with getting barely any sleep and feeling sick ALL DAY is not going well. Wish I could crawl under my desk and have a nap every afternoon 😴

Hi @bluemoon2468 oh yes it's tough, I've been there but at least I could rest on weekends and evenings but it was a culture shock how relentless having dc is! It's so worth it though and i I wouldnt swap it for the world!

Oh I also didnt believe anybody when they told me and would think oh right I'm sure it's not so bad and I'm tired now working fulltime and being pregnant. I have to admit now I know that they were talking about now I have 2 dc ans I dont know how people who have 3 or even 4 dc on top of working do it!

It’s practice

Yup I’m the same, around 4 weeks I think, used to sleep like a log, for the last 3 nights struggling to sleep and waking at 3am bright as a button 🤨

39+1 today and same here rarely get a full might sleep up from 2:30 to 3.30 or even longer..

Wide awake 😳 work today is going to be fun 🙈

24 weeks pregnant and woke at 3am with both my pregnancies. Found I slept better after the baby was born!

Jessie9323 your babies must sleep really well...mine are little night owls 😴

@Yesterdayforgotten my son is 1 on sat and sleeps 7-7 has done since about 5 months. I count that as very lucky haha. However I also work nights and shifts so am used to surviving on 2-3 hours sleep!

I'm so glad this isn't just me, I'm 13+2 and been happening for about 8 weeks now, I wake up at least 3 times in the night and only usually once to pee now.

Yep!
I'm 8+3 and have been waking up at 4am on the dot for the last week, I blamed it on the dog being a fidget bum but its definitely not her!

Omg so glad it's not just me! I'm 11+5 and my sleep has been really disturbed since about 6 weeks.
I just can't get comfy and wake up a good 2 or 3 times every night. I'm knackered so it's not like i don't need the sleep!

I've been on the sofa for the last couple of nights. I still wake up but it feels a bit more manageable than when I'm in bed. I think I get really self conscious about tossing and turning next to DP.

Side note: I can now addd evening sickness into the joy of the small hours 😩😩😩
