New lease of life waking up early since finding out pregnant

Since working from home I’ll be the first to admit I’ve let me wake up times slip.
I’ve notoriously been awful in the mornings and will usually be the night owl who does paperwork until silly o clock in favour of a relaxed wake up time.
But bizarrely since finding out I was pregnant. (Will he first child). It’s like my sensible mum to be me has told my body we wake up at 6/7am. No alarm clock. My body just wakes up and gets up to do chores. Even if I don’t fall asleep or get to bed until early hours of the morning.
I’m amazed myself 🤣
Before, I could easily not wake up until 10/11am if I was up til silly o clock and hadn’t set an alarm. And be knackered.

Did this happen with anyone else. Is it due to the inner responsible mum to be me I never knew I had inside me just doing it’s thing.
I think I’ve had 4hrs sleep last night. The old me would be feeling it and not be happy and my body not be waking me up and raring to go. I don’t recognise myself 😂

Yeah! The first few days after finding out I was pregnant, I was sooo tired all day and as soon as it was time to sleep I wasn’t tired so would struggle to sleep and then would wake up a couple or a few hours later.
I think this was mostly to the severe nausea and heartburn I have/had at night but the nausea has shifted to the mornings now so I’ve been able to have amazing long sleeps now!
Some nights I was only getting 2 hours and then I was up and doing things x

Yes! Since around 5 weeks. I'm 37 weeks now and it hasn't improved, I'm lucky to get 2 hours undisturbed sleep. The heat is not helping either though!

Enjoy it whilst you can OP! It's lovely you have so much energy and congratulations on your pregnancy!
I'm 33 weeks and literally dying to sleep more than 2 hour blocks at a time! I fear I've kissed goodbye to a full nights sleep for the next 12 months at least 😂

No I don’t get full nights of sleep. I just can’t seem to not wake up at 6/7am. Don’t get me wrong I’m not sleeping good nights sleep. I just can’t seem to laze in bed in the mornings like I used to. Weirdly
