Just curious how common it is to be waking way earlier than you'd like! I'm 19 weeks, had this in 1st trimester for a while but this has been happening for a few weeks straight. Waking between 4 & 6am, very tired still, but can't sleep. Get up & eat breakfast, fall back asleep 30 mins later until 8:30/9am! I'm lucky this is my first baby & I WFH, otherwise I know I'd just have to stay awake and get to an office. Wondering if others have a strange circadian rhythm around now 😊

Mee!! Im awake because I pee 5 or 6 times at night. Im tired alot but dont nap during the day, and Im still awake stupidly early every day

Very normal hun I'm 17 weeks and usually awake before 6am x

My first born (4 now) has always been an early riser since he was a baby. Infact in my pregnancy with him I had terrible insomnia too. He wakes between 4.45am and 5.30am every day without fail. You eventually get used to it and just adjust

Exactly the same- I’m 18 weeks and all last week I was waking up at 430am every day, couldn’t get back to sleep- would have some breakfast get back in bed and then fall back to sleep an hour later and wake up feeling shattered when I actually need to get up for work.
Has gone a bit more back to normal this week though xx

I’m the same, been going on for months now never feel like I have enough sleep. I spoke to my midwife this morning and she said it’s perfectly normal. She said they can’t prescribe sedatives (obvs) but you can take antihistamines or anti sickness tablets before bed as they can make you feel drowsy, which may do the trick! Think I’m going to try it tonight and see if it helps!

Regardless of what time I go to bed, my body clock now wakes me up at 5-530 ish every morning. I’m still knackered but just can’t sleep. It’s infuriating but my midwife said that hormones are to blame (like everything!) 🤣 xx

Thank you all!! I hate going to bed early to plan for it, but that's life from now on I expect 😅 Helps knowing it's not just me x
