Getting up several times during the night

to pee is really killing me! I was up every 1.5/2 hours last night having to pee. Right now I'm on vacation, so I can just relax, but school starts in 2 weeks and I have no idea how I am going to be able to function at work on such little sleep. Anyone else going through this? Help? lol

Getting up several times during the night

Yup, get used to it! I've been getting up once a night since about 10 weeks, now I'm up to twice a a night at 24 weeks. I also have to change positions during the night.... I just try to get to bed earlier and stay in bed if I'm sleeping, this way I try to get a full night's sleep.

Re: Getting up several times during the night

Every 2-3 hours over here. I'm usually exhausted on my work days unfortunately :/

Getting up several times during the night

I have! I've been getting up two to three times a night. It stinks. I tried to limit water before bed but then I wake up thirsty!

Getting up several times during the night

I'm up literally every 2 hours.

I never had to get up to pee but when I was pregnant with DD I used to have nights when I just couldn't get to sleep no matter what I did. Especially in the beginning of the school year when I was pretty early in my pregnancy. If I couldn't get to sleep by 2 or 3 am I used to just get up, make and email in sub plans and call in sick. I had to get up for work at 5 and there was just no way I could function on 2 hours of sleep.

Once or twice a night but this is no different to me because I used to wake up some nights to pee before I was pregnant.

Getting up several times during the night

I woke up MAYBE once a night with DS1. With DS2 now I'm up every 2 hours and go back to work in 2 weeks as well. Some nights I'm up every 1.5 hours. It's killing me. I get so thirsty if I don't drink a ton, so I just can't win!!!! I'm dreading going back to work...

Same for me. At 19 weeks I get up twice to pee, but I am constantly changing sleep positions throughout the night. This is why I am always do tired!!

Getting up several times during the night

yes, all the time! I even have a hard time falling back asleep sometimes :(
Can I give you some btdt teacher advice?
You'll have to pee a few times during the day, so set something up with a colleague to watch your class when you just can't hold it anymore.
Set yourself up for having to sit later in your pregnancy, esp if your teaching position requires standing.
Plan on crashing when you get home. It's exhausting! I batch cooked on weekends to leave meals in the freezer because I was in no shape to cook. I did grading on my prep to avoid having to do it at night
I'm due in Dec. but not going back till next year. Good luck!

All very good advice! I'm lucky enough to have a teacher right next door to me. She was a huge help when I had morning sickness the last few weeks of school.

I wish I could crash as soon as I get home! Lol. I do an after school club one day a week, tutor twice a week, and am taking a class once a week starting in October (really good opportunity that my AP didn't want me to pass up). I am going to be exhausted by the time Christmas break comes around lol. I typically do my grading on my preps, so that will definitely help.

I'm very jealous that you aren't going back until next year! I have 6 weeks and then it's back for me. With bills and whatnot, I can't really afford to take time off without pay. But I'm definitely looking forward to taking next summer off to be with the baby (it will be the first summer I've had off since I was 15!)

Re: Getting up several times during the night

not to pee, but i do wake up several times a night.. it's so annoying!

Getting up several times during the night

Totally normal and at the end for me it wasn't just to pe it was cause the heartburn started aback up and kept me awake.

All I can say is that you will make it through work and even when you go back you will be functioning on only a few hrs due to feedings and crying etc. It just becomes the new normal for you,

Getting up several times during the night

Maybe try limiting the water you drink right before bed? I drink a TON of water during the day day and pee almost every hour. But I cut back once i"m home. I try not to drink too much after 8 and I find I can go without peeing during the night-or only getting up once.

I haven't been working full time since 2012, anyway. It doesn't pay for me to go to work part time again with 3 kids. If I was f/t, I'd go back to work in a heartbeat. please don't be jelly... I'd rather give my children better opportunities and a bigger house.
