Tell me your tricks!!!

Brianna0915

I cannot fall asleep at night, I'm always so uncomfortable and I toss and turn all night long, so even when I am "sleeping" I'm restless. I finally got to sleep around 2:30am last night and had to be up at 6:30. I'm exhausted and grumpy. This has been happening the past few days and I'm miserable. I just want to sleep! Has anyone else had this problem? What are your tricks??

Unisom!!!

I have the same issue, I am not sure there is much you can do.  I am not a fan of taking medication unless really needed.

A nice long walk or jog in the evening if you can. A warm bath an hour or two before bed. Unisom or benadryl on the bad nights. PBS shows also put me to sleep (you laugh, but I'm serious!).

Benedryl. Lol

I'm not exactly a fan of taking any medication, usually I would but I'm kind of scared to take anything with the pregnancy.

Also a non-medicating type here. Dim your lights as it gets dark outside, no tv within an hour of bedtime, exercise daily, dinner at least 2 hours before bedtime.

I can never sleep now unless I have a pillow supporting my belly. My belly isn't even big! But everything is so so uncomfortable unless I have a pillow in front and in back to press gently on things and hold my back and belly in place. Instant comfort.

Chamomile tea before bed helps me rest much better!

This!!! This is me! I know it's only going to get worse when I'm bigger but holy hell I didn't know I could already be uncomfortable!

Same issue. I have to answer. Sometimes eating a piece of bread helps me or a cup of ginger tea. But it sucks. I just watch tv or read until I doze off.

I also use Unisom, it's a lifesaver...peaceful sleep and no morning "hangover" feeling

PILLOWS! I have has the same probal the last week. I can't explain it other than being very uncomfortable. I put a small one between my legs then one in front of my stomach and behind my back. It feels so much better. I turned in the fan though because it gets warm!

I don't know about you ladies, but I don't even use blankets anymore! I am ALWAYS warm now.

For me the kicker is the heat. I've been sleeping with an ice pack which seems to help.

I agree with unison! Also I bought a pregnancy pillow...a snoogle! Love them both and I sleep like a baby.
