I'm only 22 weeks. I get up once most nights. I'm getting to the point where I stir when I need to roll over. But I'll get up twice if i chug a bunch of water before 7pm. And I"ll wake up at like, midnight....and if i can't go right back to sleep, i lay there and get hungry :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-415474 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:00:23 +0000 Jumpingjacks 415474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I've been waking to eat since part way through my second trimester. And I try to stop drinking fluids by 7:30 so I won't have to get up a pee, but it never works. I wake up to pee or with enormous thirst. Also I wake up because I'm just uncomfortable with a sore hip or because I'm so congested (no cold, just pregnancy congested) So, these days I wake up about 4 times per night. I'm exhausted. Occassionally I don't wake up hungry and it's usually when I've eaten a big homemade, super healthy fibre-packed muffin before bed. Fortunately I rarely get heartburn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-415362 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:59:04 +0000 chopsuey 415362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I got up 4x to pee -.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-415354 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:56:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 415354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally I wake up once to munch on some Tums and then back to sleep for me. I've had some nights with insomnia though, it really frustrating and certainly doesn't help my already low energy stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-415349 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:53:52 +0000 allison 415349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: you're in 3rd tri and can sleep through the night?! I am so incredibly jealous of you right now.</p> <p>I get up at least 5 times a night. Some nights, it's every hour. Always to pee. I tried to stop drinking after 6 or 7, but I'm always so thirsty by bedtime if I do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-415115 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:17:36 +0000 boiledpnut 415115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I eat too close to bedtime, I'm up most of the night with reflux. But when I do sleep, I usually get up every hour to an hour and half to pee. It's ridiculous. My doctor said I'll probably get more sleep when the baby comes than I am now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414718 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:30:38 +0000 wheres_c 414718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: @BlueWolverine: Tums and I have become very good nighttime friends!<br /> I had never had tums before I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414672 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:15:22 +0000 jedeve 414672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of your miseries make me feel better! I thought I was 5x was abnormal. Glad to hear it's not!</p> <p>I know I should go to bed earlier so that I can get more hours of sleep...but honestly, waking up for the first time at midnight or so is just too depressing. It's like I want to minimize the hours I put myself through this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414658 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:11:52 +0000 BlueWolverine 414658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm up 3-5 times per night to pee. Usually one of those trips involves chowing some Tums as well. One night a few weeks ago I slept for five straight hours, and I felt AWESOME. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414525 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:27:47 +0000 DillonLion 414525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm technically in the 4th tri because I'm overdue, but I am up hourly for some combination of pee/take Tums/eat something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414518 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:25:12 +0000 wheres_c 414518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm waking up about 5-6 times per night at 38 weeks. I'm probably getting about 4 hours of sleep total. It sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414514 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:23:02 +0000 blackbird 414514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gotcha....what are you eating? i wonder if there's anything that may stick with you better?....hmmm....i don't have any good ideas :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414509 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:21:26 +0000 ladyfingers 414509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far about one or none. But it's just none because when I wake up at 4 a.m. with a full bladder I try to go back to sleep because I'm so tired. Couldn't make it this morning, though. I wouldn't be able to eat anything even if I did wake up hungry, though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414500 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:17:47 +0000 jedeve 414500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it's to eat. I have a bladder disorder, so I will feel like I have to pee anyway so it doesn't really help; it's actually worse if I'm dehydrated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414487 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:14:19 +0000 birdofafeather 414487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't drink much of anything past 8 or 9 because i wake up 4-6 times a night too. it feels like i have to go but my bladder isn't full, but i stil have to wake up. this morning though, i got to work before 6 am (usually in by 9) because i couldn't go back to sleep. ;( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414481 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:11:57 +0000 blackbird 414481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it to pee? Maybe you can front load all your liquids and stop drinking after 6pm? I get up one or two times a night if i drink before bed. But otherwise, I can sleep through. You might be able to cut the trips down, at least =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/third-trimester-how-many-times-are-you-up-in-the-night#post-414474 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:09:15 +0000 jedeve 414474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm up five times a night anymore. Usually because I'm hungry, though last night I tried not to eat when I woke up at 5 and 6. It's super frustrating, so I end up taking unisom every few nights because I want to sleep well, but I need to stop that because I can't be on unisom when I to into labor!!</p> <p>Is this normal? I try to eat something with more protein but I have really bad heartburn too, so if the hunger doesn't keep me up, that does. I just hope I'm not doing this plus feeding a baby in between in a few months! </p>
