Probably 6-7. I could use the full 8 but I also like to do stuff at night once H goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2555641 Tue, 24 May 2016 15:19:32 +0000 Mrs. Marshmallow 2555641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a TERRIBLE sleeper... I've recently started taking half a Magnesium at dinner and have gone from 2-3 wake-ups to one on average... it's glorious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551468 Wed, 18 May 2016 16:31:09 +0000 JenGirl 2551468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the first trimester, I slept all the time! 1-2 hour nap when I got home from work, up for a few hours in the evening, then to bed for 8-9 hours.</p> <p>I quit the naps once I got into the second tri but tried to keep up on my nighttime sleep. In my third tri I'd have to get up to pee and reposition, but could usually get back to sleep fairly quickly. But by the end of the pregnancy, I just go so uncomfortable by the end of the night, so I went back to napping 1-2 hours after work, staying up a bit, sleeping 5-6 hours with a couple wake ups and then up for the day. It really helped to divide up my sleep since I got so sore after lying in bed for a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551421 Wed, 18 May 2016 15:29:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2551421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-7 hrs broken :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551382 Wed, 18 May 2016 14:46:07 +0000 winniebee 2551382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: how far along are you now? I'm sure his positioning will change soon, and hopefully give you some relief! Do you try unisom at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551368 Wed, 18 May 2016 14:32:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 2551368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: it's so terrible :( some nights I actually start crying because I'm so frustrated. The OB is sympathetic but says there is really nothing that can be done because it's just the way he is positioned. I'm assuming it'll get worse as he gets bigger and puts more pressure on my bladder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551360 Wed, 18 May 2016 14:23:22 +0000 winniebee 2551360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: yikes! i'm scared to use a fit bit or something to track my sleep! a good night i'm up once on a bad night it's 5 times :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551358 Wed, 18 May 2016 14:20:41 +0000 pinkcupcake 2551358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since week 10 - about 3-5 hours of BROKEN sleep. I counted - I get up on average 25 times (!!!) to pee (trickles). Unfortunately, the way baby is positioned, his head is right on my bladder so the pain/discomfort is just unbearable. </p> <p> Yeah. I'm so EFFIN' miserable. SO OVER THIS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551353 Wed, 18 May 2016 14:16:31 +0000 Smurfette 2551353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took half a unisom last night so I could sleep. I slept 10-6:30 and it was amazing. I got 2 times (so a good night) to go to the bathroom. Without the unisom I get like maybe 5 hours of broken sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551345 Wed, 18 May 2016 14:11:21 +0000 Makingbabyw 2551345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 weeks and sleeping like 16 hours. can't keep my eyeballs open 👀 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551330 Wed, 18 May 2016 13:51:52 +0000 kes18 2551330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 weeks. At least 8-9 hours. I go to bed usually by 10 (sometimes 1030 at the latest) and try to get up 630-7. I've definitely gone to bed at 9pm though. I always wake up 2-3x a night. I go to bed approx. 10:45-11:30 not being pregnant. Luckily my 2year old usually doesn't wake completely until after 6:30 except she usually wakes up briefly and makes some noise at some point (4-6am) and that contributes to one of my wake ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551323 Wed, 18 May 2016 13:48:47 +0000 Alba4 2551323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now at 34 weeks I'm getting between 7-8 hours a night with one wake up to pee plus I wake up to change sides probably 3-5 times a night.</p> <p>Since I'm still on modified bedrest I try to sneak in a cat nap every couple of days too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-do-you-get-while-pregnant#post-2551256 Wed, 18 May 2016 13:13:28 +0000 winniebee 2551256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a terrible sleeper while pregnant! It's hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep despite exhaustion, even with Unisom! Lately I'm getting around 7 hours with a wakeup to pee. Last night I slept from 9:30-5:15 straight through and it felt amazing! I think I could use 8 hours but between DS2 getting up early and my tossing and turning, it's rare.</p> <p>How much sleep do you get while pregnant? </p>
