I can't sleep without unisom

SusanS118

For the past 6 weeks I haven't been sleeping well or at all. 2 weeks ago my doctor told me to try unisom, and it works. I get good restful sleep. I don't want to take it everyday, but when I don't I can't fall asleep. I have been up for 21 hours. My body is tired, but my brain just won't stop. It's is 4:30 am where I live, and I cant take it now because I have to be awake at 6 to get my oldest ready for school. Any advice on sleeping better?

Oh I'm almost 19 weeks if that makes a difference.

This definitely sounds like something that you should bring up with your doctor again, as they will be able to advise you better than any of us here.
For me personally, I have downloaded a hypnobirthing album to my iTunes and I have been listening to a relaxation track through earphones as I fall asleep. It's well worth a try - I've been having the best sleep I've had for a while.
I hope you can get some rest soon.

I have the exact same problem. I've been taking melatonin and unisom every night since 5 weeks pregnant and my doctor said there is no issue with me taking it every night. Hope that helps.
