Anybody?

Question

I am 26+1 and I am at that stage where I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. Anybody else at that stage? What helps you go back to sleep?

Answer

Reading.  It's the only thing that helps me fall back to sleep without taking meds.  Meds make me groggy all the next day if I take them in the middle of the night so I won't.  But reading turns my brain away from real life stress that will keep me awake and instead turns it to fictional stuff so I can relax.

Answer

I'm that gal. I usually read te pregnancy forums until I start falling asleep again lol.

Answer

I'm the same 26+1 and at that stage. Been up since 4:30 :( If you find a remedy let me in on it!

Answer

I always have insomnia, durning pregnancy its just worse but I used to wake up and look on my phone ect and that just made it worse, this time I have found if I wake up I'll venture to the living room keep the lights off and grab a snack or something and will feel tired again. Think reading or looking at my phone just made me feel more awake and harder to go back to sleep. Staying in a dark room and just enjoying the quiet seems to work better for me now

Answer

I listen to podcasts about pregnancy, breastfeeding, and newborn care.

Answer

Yep, been doing that for a while now. I usually get up and pee and drink water. Sometimes it's not too hard to fall asleep, other times it's impossible and I end up reading or on here.

The one thing I've found that really helps me get back to sleep is sex.

Answer

I was just looking for that topic around the messageboard. I'm 22 weeks and the midnight awakening started a few days ago. A friend of mine told me it has to do something with the body getting ready for the sleepless nights, but I think it's a little bit too early for the preview :D I also noticed the baby's kicks coincide with the awakenings. How about you?

Answer

I have always been that way this pregnancy, I'm 26 + 2

Answer

I just watch tv until my eyes get heavy again. It's terrible :(
