Insomnia

in 1st Trimester

By far my worst symptom so far is insomnia. It seems to exacerbate everything - aches and pains, nausea, back pain, moodiness, etc.  I got to bed abotu 10 but wake up about 3:30 am every morning and can't get back to sleep.  Anyone else experiencing insomnia?  What are you doing to help with it?

    I'm barely falling asleep at night. Even though I come home from 2 jobs exhausted, and give myself time to cool down, it is taking me over an hour to fall asleep. Then I wake up every hour and a half or so and cannot fall back asleep for a half hour or more... it's getting very frustrating! I haven't found ANYTHING that helps. I've tried cooling my bedroom down, drinking warm milk... nothing is working. :(

    I did last night for sure! My daughter woke up screaming at 12:00, and I couldn't really fall back asleep for the rest of the night. Well, at least I got 1.5 hrs of sleep! And now I get to deal with a bunch of 2-year-olds all day!!! YAY for me....

    This was killer for me and nothing worked (I didn't want to try any sleep meds). I kind of just delt with it. I would say now, approaching 13 weeks, it has gotten much better. Good luck!

    I am also experiencing really bad insomnia! I took unisom to combat my MS with DS 2 so if this insomnia doesn't straighten itself out, I'm going to take it again. The only reason why I haven't so far is it makes me groggy all day.

    I was told that benadryl and tylenol pm are okay to take.  I've been taking benadryl.  It helps some.

    I think I'm going to take a table unisom tonight.  supposedly B6 + unisom helps with m/s, too.
