Anyone's body clock go tits up in pregnancy?

[tumtumtetum]

I have just realised that I am knackered all day and start to wake up at about this time.

Normally I am an early to bed kind of person.

Pregnancy hormones? Has anyone else experienced this?

i don't remember it happening last time but I was working full time with a long commute so spent all my spare time asleep!

My first pregnancy I slept constantly and had lots of early nights, confusing dp as I'm normally a total night owl. However, ds is still in our room until we can clear out his bedroom to be and I'm due on Monday with a second baby, and my bodyclock has gone haywire. I'm tired all the time but can't sleep properly at night. At least now I'm on maternity leave I can get a bit of sleep in the mornings.

It's not just me then!

It's bound to be hormonal isn't it.

I wonder if it's also because I've been so lazy as I've been feeling rubbish - so I've not been getting at all physically tired IYSWIM.

Oh yes mine did this I think it's to prepare you for when the baby comes. I noticed the stupid times I found myself awake 2-5 am usually was exactly the times the babies woke when they arrived.

Why don't the books etc think to mention these things?

So far this PG I have discovered:

Ante-natal depression (what a laugh that was - 1st trimester)

Loony body clock

What will be next?

Oh yes and today I had a coughing fit and wet myself a bit

Pmsl after 3 kids the youngest being one I still wet myself a bit when I cough or laugh!

I used to wake a lot at night time. Especially near the end, when DH said he thought I was probably preparing for the arrival of DD. I would wake several times, and often be awake for hours, wide awake.

Ledodgy - sorry just saw you said that!!!

Me too and the amount of times you have to get up to wee!

I am waking early and lying awake - but I did that before.

It's this whole perking up at 10pm thing when normally (even when not PG) I am in bed by 9.30 that has me stumped.

Thing is i do feel tired - just not ready for bed IYSWIM.

Or could it be I'm addicted to MN?

definetly I suffer really bad insomnia with pregnancy and seems to eb getting worse wiht each one. This is no.4 and its killing me as am drained in the day..lol

Yes mn has alot to answer for my waters broke live in mn with my first. see here!
