Sleep problems

annanbby

Shortly before my missed period, I was already waking up every night to pee, and having difficulty falling back asleep or staying asleep. I’m 6 weeks now and this has been every night since then. I’m so exhausted and it’s really taking a toll on me. Even taking naps is hard, I can’t seem to sleep. 

Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas on how to deal with it?

My experience has been very similar. At my first OB appointment this week (I’m now 9 weeks), she told me to try unisom. The first night I took it was the first time I slept through the night since before my positive test. I felt great the next morning. The second night I took it I woke up twice to pee,  but still had reduced morning sickness the next day....so I’m not sure yet if it’s been helping. I have been taking naps daily after work. Even if I can’t sleep I lay in bed and relax for 30 minutes. I’ve also started acupuncture which helps with a whole host of pregnancy problems.
