3am wake ups while pregnant?
Is anyone else just waking up at 3am and NOT able to go back to sleep? I don't know what it is or how to fix it, I'm on Unisom already but if I take 25mg like I'm prescribed I want to sleep all day and I have a 6 year old so I can't do that. I'm 19 weeks pregnant, and for at least the last week, I've been waking up around 3am every. Single. Night. And I just can't go back to sleep. Wifey goes to work at 6am and I'm here with our kid until she gets home from work and we are also sleeping on our in-laws couches while looking for an apartment or something so I can't exactly nap during the day. It's currently almost 7am, ive been awake for 4 hours, my eyes are burning. My daughter decided she was going to get up at 6:30 this morning and just stay up. My in-laws are awake and in the kitchen talking and having coffee 😮💨 I'm exhausted and I don't understand why this is happening

I had this issue in the beginning of my pregnancy with Oct baby but was opposite I was up at 3 AM every single day wide awake ready to start my day and I would have enough energy throughout the day while pregnant. I had to force myself to sleep. Doctor just said it was shift in hormones
@Amanda when I first wake up I feel like I'd have enough energy if I just stayed awake but I know I'll be dragging by the end of the day, so I try to force myself to go back to sleep and I get almost there and then can't get to sleep. Then I end up just feeling exhausted all morning and into the afternoon instead, I'm switching Obgyn's right now because mine is stupid and treated me horribly my first pregnancy and was continuing the trend 6 years later, so I don't see my new OB until tomorrow at 19 weeks pregnant, I could ask them but it's mostly intake I'm sure 😔
Edit to add, this is also an October baby, Baby Kyanite is due October 26th
I had that with my first baby but lore towards the end of my second trimester/ third trimester. I’d wake up at 2 or 3 and just not be tired? So weird cuz I usually loooove to sleep lol
I had the worst insomnia during my 4th pregnancy! Like clockwork at the same time every night. So I embraced it and enjoyed a bowl of cereal in the dark. As soon as baby was out I was back to normal.
