Awake for hours in the middle of the night

Inês

Hi everyone! Has any of you woke up at 4 a.m. to pee, and ended up being hungry? It happens to me every single day! I wake up to pee and I feel hungry. I eat a peace of bread and a yogurt, but then can't go to sleep!!! Just lay here for about 2 hours! It is driving me crazy because I still have to go to work in the morning. I end up feeling tired during the day!

Yup. Usually wake up between 4-6. Today it was 2am, now 4 am and I don’t feel like I’m going to fall back asleep. Not sure if I should call into work yet because I’ll be a zombie

Yep! I wake between 2/3 and need a snack. Sometimes I go back to sleep sometimes I stay awake, which makes the work day super long!

I know how you feel! I really have to focus at work. But the lack of sleep is making it hard to understand the most basic conversation.

That's just like me!!! How strange! Maybe it is a baby routine thing.

This happens to me minus the eating (though I may just do that next time!) if I wake up past 3, I’m guaranteed to be up for 2 hours.

Good to know it's not just me out there struggling with sleep... I have been like this since week 26. Hope it goes away soon. Because I could use a full night sleep before the baby comes!

I wake up to pee every hour ! Luckily I usually don’t eat until like 1 pm most days so I think my body is just trained to never eat in the morning! But yeah I always get the worst night sleep because I always gotta go. I’m stupid and drink way too much water too close to bedtime.

Little update...Just went for my regular app with my OBGYN yesterday. Baby boy is with is head down at 27 weeks. The doctor was laughing because baby was headbumping my bladder constantly!! That is why I always feel like peeing. He says I have plenty of room, but it seems baby likes my bladder for a pillow. Lets hope he changes position soon and this 4 am thing improves. I would really like to sleep...

Meeee!!! And I hate it. I went to bed at 9 because I was exhausted but stayed awake until midnight. Had to per like 4 times and then woke up at 4am the last time and haven't been able to get back to sleep. I can't handle it. I'm exhausted all day long . I have an appointment tomorrow morning and I also have to go to work afterwards. Then to pick up my kids from school and daycare and go home to make dinner , baths, homework, clean, and start all over again😭😭

Thankyou!!! I do hope it's better soon although I'm sure it will be harder with a newborn waking up every 2 hours
