Waking up early

Can anyone help! I keep waking up at around 4am the past week or so. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and already struggling with lower back pain. I have a bad back and hips anyway and I’m usually a back sleeper so the sleeping on my side can be an issue. I use a butterfly type pillow & that’s comfortable for me most of the time it’s just the waking up super early and not being able to sleep!!!

currently awake too, 20 + 4 days and have had trouble sleeping the full night for a while🥲 feeling exhausted x

I'm awake too. You can sleep on your back until 28 weeks if that helps. I read that sometimes you wake as hungry, even if you don't feel hungry. X

I’m having trouble getting to sleep and then staying asleep! Wake up in the night and then mine goes into overdrive. Just ordered some magnesium spray to see if that helps as people swear by it for sleep! I’m nearly 28 weeks

Bless you! I have generally had quite disrupted sleep during pregnancy and have tried to put some of it down to my body preparing me for when baby is here. Aside from that bit of consolation, I had pelvic girdle pain in both pregnancies. With my most recent pregnancy I asked for a physio referral from my midwife and attended a weekly class with a physio that really really helped me with pain

37 weeks and have been awake since 3/4am every night from 28 weeks 😂
