Non existent sleep pattern (FTM)

What on earth is happening to my sleep pattern? I’m 26 weeks and waking at all different times of the night for what appears to be nothing. I try for the loo but don’t need to go much and then am just wide awake for a bit (like now). Am I missing any signs of bump…I feel them a tiny bit whilst awake but nothing major (I think) going on in there…
I know I will suffer during the day or need a nap which then just messes me up more. I still work full time and want to socialise and exercise but this waking up at 3:30am doesn’t help…

Same boat here wish that I have a solution, dreading the office in few hours.

If you figure out a remedy please do share!

Same here… insomnia is real and so is insomnia online shopping 😅
I’m going to try calm and magnesium leg/foot cream before bed to see if that helps

will have to research into that tomorrow mornings stupid o’clock…
And yes I had to only favourite items in vinted and not click buy

Same here. I do “bedtime tea” from trader joes, magnesium and melatonin. Although midwife said you can’t take the melatonin, only antihistamines like Benadryl. I tried Benadryl and it feels worse than not being able to sleep at night.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
