Not getting sleep

Anyone else having to get up 4 or more times a night to pee? I usually lose count after four because I am so tired. I feel like a zombie lately! I don't even know if I have enough time to enter REM sleep before I am up again. The most I was ever up in my other pregnancies was about 2 times a night. I hope my baby will get off my bladder cuz I am dying! I still have 8 or so weeks left too :(

After waking up 8 times last night I decided to call my doctor. I go in in an hour. Fingers crossed. I really hope I have a UTI so I can get medicine and be able to sleep again!

I'm only 21 wks an lose count how many times I get up. Then I either can't go back to sleep cause my body hurts, husband snoring like crazy, hungry, or just too exhausted to sleep! I have no energy what so ever these days an my toddler to take care of during the day.

I'm only 15 weeks and I pee ALL DAY; especially at night! The most annoying part is it's always a little pee but feels like my bladder is about to explode.

I keep asking myself why I am doing this for the fifth time. Nothing seems as easy this time around! Getting no sleep only makes it so much worse.

I donr actually fall asleep I am tired by 11 but can't fall asleep till 4 am due to him moving around having heartburn and having to pee several times due to that but around 4 am I fall asleep and I am up by six then about 8 fall back asleep sleep till 11 then up for rest of the day but I do have to go pee like crazy when I am awake my doctor has checked for uti and every time he has I don't have an uti its has to so with how my baby moves spot  my baby chooses to stay in that causes me to have to go pee a lot

Lucky you! Four weeks... I actually don't think I have a UTI because I only pee a lot at night. Plus, my baby's head has been literally on too of my cervix since I was 27 weeks. I think he's just getting heavier on my bladder.

Omg yes and it drives me nuts and I get up so grumpy because I'm not getting the rest I need. But if i take a nap during the day I'm up way to late so then that makes me mad to. Ugh 35 days to go and can't wait!
