Why am I waking 5 times a night?

It's not to pee, not for anything, I just wake about 5 times a night and struggle to get back to sleep. Am frikking knackered! How can I get back to sleeping through the night. I'm only 8 weeks, surely it's too early for pregnancy insomnia?

I have been waking up all night from about the same time as you and im now almost 32 weeks, if anything it has gotten worse for me as time goes on cos now aswell as just waking up for no bloody reason i also wake up for a wee about 5/6 times a night and also whenever my bump gets uncomfortable i wake up and have to switch sides! Its a joke! It really annoys me when my dp claims he had a crappy sleep, he should try being pregnant! Hope it gets better for you soon, but dont be surprised if it doesnt..hehe!

Do you get up and try to wee? I wake every night (not currently pregnant) and everytime I don't think I need to wee but I do iyswim.

I've been the same this pg, to varying degrees. I am 24 weeks now and have had a few periods when I've 'only' woken twice, but mainly several times.
It's very frustrating, isn't it?

Not very reassuring but thanks guys! I was hoping it was a temporary thing! My fear is that if I get up to pee I will wake myself up even more and take even longer to get back to sleep. Might try it tonight though, nothing to lose.

I'm sooooo tired!
