Can't fall/stay asleep

jennmeeks

I'm 11 Weeks today. For the last week and a half, I feel like a zombie during the day and when I get home from work. I can't seem to get comfortable, and if I do, it feels like my leg goes numb so I have to move. Also having weird pain down my right butt/thigh/knee. Because of this, I'm having an extra difficult time falling asleep and once I finally do get to sleep, I can't stay asleep for more than an hour. I tried to give up coffee completely, but with no sleep, I don't have an alternative! I have seriously laid awake and wondered what my boss would do if I didn't show up to work.

 

Have any of you ladies had this problem? If you found something that works, please share! Thanks

I've heard about a vitamin B6 and unisom combo that some pregnant ladies swear by, maybe research/ask your doctor about how to take it.

I'm already taking B6 for morning sickness. My next appointment and U/S is tomorrow afternoon. I will be sure to ask! Thank you

Have you tried a pregnancy pillow. I swear I fall and stay asleep much easier now

@Ree0123 My husband ordered one for me yesterday! Hoping that does the trick

The pain you are describing sounds like sciatica. Hope it gets better.

I have an aching pain in my hips and leg and butt (not sciatica, but I have that too!). It's worst if I sleep on a soft surface. I bet the pillow will help!

@erinmary11 I will do some research and mention it to my doctor. Thank you!
