  • That happens to me every night! I haven't had a good night sleep at home in 1 month. I wake up around 2-3 every morning and stay up until 4:30-5. Its been ridiculous .. funny thing though, when I'm sleeping at my bf's place I'll stay knocked out all night. I think the baby feels better when me n daddy are together! Haha
  • its driving me nuts haga I'm glad I'm not the only one .I live with my bf so I sleep with him every night haha I wondee wat helps
  • Omg I am waking up every night around 2 or so and I can't go back to sleep. So when I'm at work I feel horrible! I do know that we need plenty of rest right now, I'm only 4 weeks and 3 days. Let me know if you know of anything that will help with the sleeping.
  • It really sucks, I'm a little over 27 weeks & for the past week & 1/2 I've been getting up at 2-3 & stay awake until 4-5. I haven't found anything that helps yet...
  • @cali I'm soo pooped dude I have work today :/ so ready to call in have yu told any one at work yet
  • Me too. I tried going a couple days without a nap and I still woke up. :( now when I try to nap I can't even do that. I'm just in a hopeless sleepy funk!
  • No, not yet. Only my hubby knows. I had a miscarriage last year so I'm really scared and I just hope everthing goes ok. How about you, have you told any coworkers?
  • ^^^oh I'm 7.5 weeks :)
  • Get a really good body pillow or something like it. I'm 26 weeks and was getting any sleep there for a little. Now I sleep like a baby with my body pillow
  • Im 26wks and still do thst too. But trying sleeping with a body pillow. Like put hug your body around it. Now that im bigger I put the bottom half between my knees and rest my Bell on the topp half. It helps. Ut now its not just my back its my hips too and there isn't much I can do for that so keep tossing and turning all night long. Good luck and hope you can get some sleep. Also my doc told me to take benadryil on nights I can sleep. I think tylonal pm is the same thing as the enadryil and that might help with the pain some.
  • @katlilly haha it sucks and the bf is like hallf asleep. rubbing or trying to rub my back haha doesn't help much poor guy hasn't slept good cuz of me haha
    @ cali I started to think like that I.shouldn't tell any one too bcuz I had a prego problem b4 and I was.scared something might go wronggg but I finially said something to a friend at work becuz she said to think positive and now everyone knows and I'm abour as far along as yu: ) let it out tell everyone they'll be so happy
  • thanks ladies keep the cures coming: ) I gots too get ready for work:/
  • Im 16 weeks and I keep waking up around 1 and am up till 3 or 4. I have a body pillow but it doesnt help me fall back asleep. I got the ok from my dr to take a tylenol pm every once in a while but i still wake up... I dont remember doing this with my other two pregnancies so early. I hope I dont do this for 4ish more months. Im a zombie all day!
  • I wake up cuz my legs r completely numb especially my left one cuz I try to lay on the left side so my baby can get nutrients and oxygen but try putting pillows under u
  • I have like 3 pillows all around me... and I toss and turn a lot. But I HAVE to nap or I'm crabzilla!!!
  • I can't sleep through a entire night ever anymore. And everyone tries to tell me get your rest now because when the baby comes you'll be up all day and night. I sleep with atleast 4 pillows and I take up a lot of the bed haha. My boyfriend is so good to me though, he tries to rub my back when I wake up in the middle of the night but it is little help with how uncomfortable it is for me to sleep. And I still have so long to go! I'm only 14weeks 1 day
  • @itsfinallyhappening yep me too. When I'm home I don't get good sleep. If my bf stays the night I get really good sleep and don't wake up. Lol. My room at home is closest to the heater and my parents keep it at 72°f so I always wake up dry and hot :/

    The thing that puts me back to sleep is cool air but warm bed, so I keep my window open and have 2 big blankets, I closed my vent. This is kinda weird bit it works...close your eyes and start daydreaming, your mind will put you to sleep and take over
  • Lol....i also wake up between 2-3 and i dont fall back asleep until 6-7 sometimes.....im in my 29th week and my sister said that it's just gonna get worse (smh).....body pillows work....well, sometimes they work....my little izander likes to play at night (i think he's got the whole night/day thing confused, lol).....
  • I'm only 9 weeks and the same happens to me. I'm so tied!
