Anyone suffering from 3rd trimester insomnia?

Question

I keep waking up in the middle of the night - either to pee or because I’m uncomfortable
And I’m having a horrible time getting back to sleep. I listen to meditations and use my yoga/relaxing breathing but it is failing me lately. I get super anxious feelings and they keep me up, as tired as I am. Any others out there experiencing anything similar? Any suggestions as to what’s worked for you to help you sleep?

Answer

I am and I have just excepted it for what it is. Im up at least 6x to pee and even bewteeen there having to switch positions because of hips.  not to mention these weird awful dreams ive been getting.

Answer

YES, I've been having such a hard time finding a comfortable position to breathe in, I'm 33 weeks.

Answer

it's brutal!  I'm glad I'm not alone in this, but it sucks we're all dealing with it.  I hate complaining because I'm so thankful to be pregnant and to experience everything that comes along with it, but I'm exhausted. I guess it's prep for when this little girl arrives.  It's starting to wear on my emotions and affect my work. I'm on my feet 8-12 hours during my shifts and they are becoming a lot more difficult to endure. Trying to hang on....only a couple of weeks left until I finish work! Praying for cozy positions, no heartburn, and minimal late night pee trips for all!!!!

Answer

I’ve had the same thing unfortunately for a couple months now. I did speak with my OBGYN and they actually told me the best thing to do is to roll with it and get your body somewhat used to waking frequently. They told me it’s not just the frequent urination and pain that keep you up, it’s also your body preparing to be up with a baby. My thought is if I’m a little used to waking up a lot it might not be as drastic of a change when baby is here!

Answer

Yep! Listening to classic audiobooks (like Pride and Prejudice, etc.) has helped me fall back asleep...there are apps that let you set a timer, so it will stop playing in 30 minutes. Hearing a calm British voice reading a story that I already know helps my mind stop racing! The only bummer is when the book stops and you think, “Crap, that means I’ve been lying here awake for 30 minutes...”

Answer

I watch an episode or two of I Love Lucy and it comforts me back to sleep

Answer

I can't sleep a wink between the heartburn, peeing every five minutes, and just generally being super uncomfortable.

Answer

flipping and turning all over the place my back started hurting also.

Answer

🙋Me too ! Although its a different reason each night. People keep telling me to make the most of 'a good night's sleep' before the baby is born 😥😅😅😅

Answer

I have a cold right now which makes it almost impossible to fall back asleep because breathing is so uncomfortable. Asking my husband to cuddle me for “ten minutes” worked this morning. I got another hour and a half of sleep.
