Early am wake ups, anyone?!

Question

I don't really have a problem falling asleep, tossing and turning etc. but for the past week or so I wake up at 4 am almost every day! I am 27 weeks and really can't complain as I've been well rested not sick not huge/uncomfortable overall - just wondering if anyone else has anything like this happening?! I think I'm just going to start embracing it because I need to get up by 6 for work and by the time I fall back to sleep when I do get up im exhausted and end up staying in bed til 6:30 haha.

Answer

These days I seem to be waking with a migraine every day...even though I'm going to bed early..

Answer

Almost 24 weeks and it's been 4:30 for me since the beginning!  I work evenings and am a night owl, so I am no where near rested that early!!  At first, I'd wake up starving and nauseated to the point that I had to go downstairs and have a snack!  Now, my baby just seems to choose that time as her kickboxing time... On my bladder!  I'm guessing I'd better get used to this wake up time?  Seems like this baby will insist on it!

Answer

Omg I'm sorry we are all suffering but happy to commiserate lol. Does anyone know why it happens?! So so so annoying

Answer

I've been waking up at 545a almost everyday for no reason, and it drives me crazy cuz it always at exactly that time or close to it, then I can't go back to sleep.

Answer

Me!! I don't even have to wake up early for anything. I went to bed maybe at 9:30 or 10, slept fine until I had to go to the bathroom at 3 and have been awake ever since!! It's now 6am and hopefully ill fall back asleep so I can go get my cavity filled at 10:30. Ah the life of an insomniac pregnant stay at home wife.

Answer

This has been happening to me on and off since I found out. I'm 24 weeks now, and no matter how late I keep myself up, 415 wins, and I lose. Every. Single. Time. Supposedly it's your body trying to prepare you for baby and being awake at night, but I call bs, my only goal for the next week, is to sleep in one time.

Answer

Ugh I would give anything to sleep till 4! I have no issue falling asleep either but I wake up between 1 and 1:30 every night and can't get back to sleep. It sucks. Thank god I work as a freelance hair &makeup artist so I don't work full time and have to be up to go to work early everyday. I just wish I could sleep all through the night again. 😕

Answer

Me too! 26w 3d and I've been up at about 4am everyday for the last week.

Answer

Oh my gosh - I'm in the same exact situation. Woke up at 4 this morning and probably fell asleep around 5-something just to wake up at 6 for work. Pretty annoying!

Answer

I've been doing that for the past 3 weeks. Annoying!!
