I am pregnant with my first baby,a boy! I dont know if I am alone on this or not but sleeping seems to be out of the question lately I get about 4-5 hours of sleep and then I am unable to fall back asleep. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I would love to get even 6 hours of sleep.

Hi all! I went through this whole waking up at 3am everyday for a week, it was like clockwork. Pillows help!!! It doesn't have to be the expensive contour pregnancy pillow that is sold, it can just be a full body pillow. Get comfortable with your legs with pillow in between your knees, the bump just slightly on the pillow too. My hubby is across the ocean from me, so all I've got to cuddle up with are pillows. Oh, I'm also guilty of bribing my little kicker with hot chocolate and children's music, we fell right back to sleep.

hey people..well i guess i can saythat im still goin through that.... back in my old house i use 2 wake up at 1:30 and at 3:30 am...now im just waking up at 3:30 am....
it was hard for me to get back to sleep because i use to sleep on da floor but now that i sleep on my own bed i sleep better....and pillows or a blanket rolled up in a ball helps if you put them between your legs...sometimes even if you put it under your belly....well good luck

It won't solve all of your problems but it will help get a little more comfortable during pee breaks. putting pillow between your needs helps move baby away from bladder I've been told.

i am having the same problem. i get maybe 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night, then i have to get up at 6 am and go to school. all i can say is people definetly know when i dont get my beauty rest, it makes my mood swings 1000000 times worse than normal and its hard to focus in class.

I am so glad i'm not the only one going thru this. I get up at 5:30 ish and go to bed at 10 and only get about 4 hrs of sleep b/c of all the waking up i do. Its ridiculous lol. At first it was to pee all the time but now, i dont pee so much i've learned when to stop drinking before bed but now its just waking up cuz my back hurts or my arms asleep or my stomach hurts ..... its non stop. Plus theres plain ol insomnia. I just look forward to the wknds where i can sit around all day and sleep whenever i want to try and catch up on what i've missed during the week lol.
