2nd Trimester

Unbelievable insomnia..

This has been going on since I got my BFP and has progressively gotten worse.  I can't get more than 15 minutes sleep at a time.  I try to sleep on my side but my hip starts to ache so bad I have to switch sides only for it to happen again.  Sleeping on my back feels worse.  But its not just discomfort that interferes with my sleep..I'll just wake up for no reason and stay away for hours.  I'm at my wits end and am soooo tired.  DH has been sleeping on the couch since my tossing and turning is starting to disrupt him too.  I've tried warm milk, pillow between my legs...any other suggestions??

  • try sleepy time tea
  • My OB said that both Tylenol PM and Unisom were absolutely fine to take regularly.  I have to take one of the two every night--I was taking Ambien before the BFP.
  • I would talk to your DR. I was having trouble sleeping when I was pg with DD. MY DR told me to take benedryl to sleep. She said it was fine as long as I don't make a habit out of it.
    Expecting #3 next spring!

    I'm not uncomfortable, but I do wake up and not fall back to sleep for hours.  My MW suggested unisom and last night I took half a dose of the sleep melt kind (same ingrediant as benadryl) and slept right through the night and feel pretty good this morning.
