Exhausted but can't sleep

Ya Never KnowYa Never Know member
in 1st Trimester
I'm exhausted all day every day, but as soon as I get to bed at night all of a sudden I'm wide freakin awake and can't sleep at all. I don't think I'm worried or anxious about anything, this is driving me nuts. Anyone else having this problem, or a solution? In deperate need of a good night's sleep!

    this is a pretty common problem for most pregnant women.
    i put a drop or two of lavender oil on my pillow to help me sleep. i also found relaxing, warm baths before bed helped. you can also speak with your doctor about possible options.

    I have not expirienced this myself but DH (who was reading over my shoulder) said his sister was talking about how she takes a warm shower and uses some body wash that helps you sleep.

    Are you napping at all during the day?

    Benadryl or Unisom will become your friend. Good news is you'll likely get a reprieve for a few months during the 2nd trimester before it becomes too uncomfortable to sleep.

    I have a meditation app on my phone that walks me through relaxing my whole body, I have found that helpful.
