Believe it or not this is a very common issue for pregnant women. Chances are you're just uncomfortable because you find a suitable sleeping position. Try doing a web search to find tips from other pregnant women who may be experiencing the same discomfort. If that is not the case, it's probably because you keep waking up to use the bathroom. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about this, other than drinking less before you sleep, because the baby is putting pressure on you bladder so it can't hold as much as it normally does.

One of the reasons of sleep trouble during pregnancy are changing hormone levels. For example, rising progresterone levels may explain excessive daytime sleepiness, especially in the first trimester. Besides that, pregnancy- related discomfort such as back pain can also result in significant loss of sleep. Many women also experience trouble sleeping due to enxiety about labour and delivery, balancing motherhood and work, or other changing relationship with their partner. Therefore, it is very important for pregnant women to prioritize sleep and to find effective strategies for managing their sleep problems as early as possible in their pregnancy.

Heartburn, achy legs, and trying to find a good position all kept me awake especially in the third trimester. Antacids worked for the first. The other two I just had to accept, try not to stress about, and just know I would have to wake up and reposition frequently.

Babies constantly move, and they're always directly on your bladder. The whole experience is uncomfortable for the human body, and can cause restlessness. This is a common problem during pregnancy, and should be expected, especially in later stages of the birthing cycle.

Patients sometimes have trouble sleeping while pregnant, but you'll want to be careful taking any over the counter medications while pregnant. Consider consulting your physician if you're interested in managing your sleeplessness. Pregnancy is uncomfortable, and you really need to be relaxed and comfortable to fall asleep easily.
