Waking up every hour

[Sweetk0987poiu]

Since my 2nd trimester I’ve had less sleep as expected wether it’s from getting up to go for a wee, being too hot or sore hips ect but last 2 weeks (I’m now In 3rd trimester) I wake up on the hour every single hour, a lot of the time for no apparent reason 😩 at this point I’m sure I’ll have more sleep with a newborn 😂 luckily I can usually go back to sleep quickly but I’ve still got 7 weeks left At work and it’s really starting to make me grumpy 😂 is this normal ? How are people combatting this

Yep it's pretty normal I'm afraid. I'm 39 weeks and I've been like it for the last 8 weeks or so. It's gotten much worse in the last 10 days too. Prepare yourself!! Sorry, no words of wisdom, it's just bloody uncomfortable.

I don’t know how to help but I remember thinking both times I was less tired with a newborn than I was in the 3rd trimester. My pregnancy insomnia was horrific!

I m 35 weeks, almost 36 and am battling the same issues.. waking up constantly in the night due to needing a wee, sore hips, hot feet etc unfortunately it seems no matter what I try I've not been able to solve it but it has helped a bit to make me more comfortable..

Reducing temperature in the bedroom just before bed so it's a bit cooler
Showering before bed to relax myself
Stolen my dogs cooling mat for my feet
A big pregnancy pillow to cuddle around
Nothing too sugary a few hours before bed (but I'm diabetic)

It's not solved it I'm still getting up a lot but it's reduced a little in my case. I was finding getting to sleep difficult too initially but that's resolved itself now.

Thanks everyone just need to grin and bear it for a while then is sounds 🤣!

Don't have any suggestions but can offer sympathy... 33 weeks on Monday and for the last month, maybe 2, I can sleep fine for a few hours but then wake every half an hour after that until about 5am when it's game over. I'm exhausted all day! I am going to stop napping in the day and I hope that'll help. Good luck, I'm actually really encouraged by what @jamsandwich1 said about being more exhausted in pregnancy than with a newborn... people keep telling me to enjoy my sleep now and I can't imagine getting less sleep than this!

It’s true! I fell asleep by 9 every night but after 12 was awake for hours. Second time around I got more sleep with a 22 month old and newborn. At least when my baby was asleep at night I could sleep too. I remember I would just fall asleep sitting up with my glasses on as soon as I put her down.
