5 am

[Flame]

I keep waking up bang on 5am to go to the loo, when i come back i get a horrible tummy ache for a while feels like i have diorrhea but constipated (sorry tmi) my tummy isnt hard though so is this a braxton hicks?

I just wonder if it is a sign that that is what time it will all start when the time comes??

5am is about the time I wake up for the loo - I just don't think I can manage any more time without going to the loo. It was the same with Maddie but it was around midnight when I went into labour with her!

I spend some nights up all hours but LO seems very active around the 6am mark, would be nice to go into labour at an early hour after a nice sleep though, wake up full of energy, so good luck with that train of thought Flame

Hi'

I wake up every morning at about 515 so odd we all wake at similar times.

I was waking at a similar time too. I blamed it on the birds coz they seem to be singing really loudly these days!

Last night was the first night in ages that I actually slept through without needing a wee break.

That is weird.

Does anyone that they can't get back to sleep again? Sometimes I lay there for an hour and then I just feel too uncomfortable staying in bed, so end up getting up at 6am even though I still feel really tired. It's so annoying as I know how important it is to rest in these last few weeks ready for labour and the first few weeks of baby's life. But I'd forgotten how difficult it actually was to feel rested in the last few weeks of pregnancy if that makes sense.

I wish I could nap in the afternoon!!

I have managed to get back to sleep most times eventually but have laid awake for an hour or so before hand, except for Saturday morning when i couldnt get back to sleep at all.

i always get up to wee at 5am too! i get back 2 sleep instantly, and maybe get up for another one at 7 or 8, then nap some more for another hour! i like sleeping!

OMG I wake up at 5am every night too!!! How mad is that!! Jaycee used to wake up at 5am too for a 2 min cuddle then doze off again, my mum said my sis done that when she was pg with me too and thats the time she went into labour or the time she had me, i cant remember which!
My waters broke at 6:30am with J, i jumped up to go to the loo, i thought i was weeing myself lol! I didnt have a great nights sleep that night and was shattered anyway so it took its toll on me lol! 13hrs later i had her lol! Hope its quicker this time! And i hope i have a decent nights sleep first too! I usually wake at 2am for a wee too.

I was sitting on the loo at 5 am today and I laughed cuz I was thinking of everyone else on the loo from the forum. Its good to know youre not alone

 

[Minxy]

It's seratonin levels that can help start labour and apparently these build at night when you're relaxed (most spontaneous labours start at night).

Maybe this causes BH which wake you up? I always put it down to the fact that your body was practising for YEARS of very early mornings.

Stanley wakes about 5.30 am
