Seriously though...what is waking you up? Is it just randomly waking or do you need to go bathroom? I've been finding the later I go to bed the better wierdly enough! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You know, weird thing for me is that I sleep better now than I have pretty much ever! I do wake up a couple of times for bathroom visits but have figured out that if I don't concentrate on being awake and keep that sleepy feeling going I can hop back into bed and go straight back to sleep. It is hard trying to manoevour the bump round though!! And I get sore legs sometimes. ------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

It's preparing you for being awake with bubs 
Seriously tho, a lot of women experience insomnia during pregnancy, I've read that it's because the baby's metabolism is going 24-7 whereas ours usually slows down at night so we aren't used to having it going on full power while we are asleep. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I've been waking in the middle of the night since early on in my pregnancy, and I thought too that it wasn't bladder related since I never feel like I NEED to pee when I wake up. I've noticed though, if I just try to go back to sleep, it's incredibly hard and though I'll get there eventually, I might end up lying awake for an hour or more. If I actually get up and go to the loo, then I can get back to sleep straight away. Try it and see if it works for you, you might be surprised! -------------
