Pregnant after a Loss

Were any of you on sleeping pills before BFP?

Hey ladies...

I have not slept since I was a baby. My mom says I was always up. Since my teen years, I have been taking over the counter sleeping stuff and as I got older, I switched to Ambien.

Well...of course my ambien is off the table now...

Did any of you guys have sleeping issues before becoming pregnant and how do you handle them now??

    I have taken ambien for just over three years and now I have been taking tylenol pm.  Let me warn you though, at first it doesn't work nearly half as well, you will face a couple sleepless nights that will lead to sleepy days and then once you are super tired they start working. At least that is how it was for me, and I took 5 mg a night of ambien.

    Oh wow! Thank you. That is very helpful. I have been freaking out quite a bit and I am just ready to be tired and sleep like a normal person.

    I think that occasional sleepless nights are ok but when you are used to taking something because you can never sleep, its a different experience all together.

    I will be checking out unisom and tylenol PM. Thank you guys for your suggestions.
