Sleeping difficulties

Hi Everyone - FTM here due Aug 24th.  I’ve been following along on everyone’s post and this is my first time posting anything myself. Im hoping you might have some suggestions about making sleep a little more pleasant. I’m having an extremely difficult time sleeping recently and it’s giving me headaches. The problem is that I’m normally a stomach sleeper, but can’t do that anymore. When I try to sleep on my side, I wake up in the middle of the night with whole body aches and a stiff neck. I’ve tried a pregnancy pillow, a pillow between my legs etc. Nothing seems to help. Does anyone have other suggestions?

Re: Sleeping difficulties

  • Have you tried unisom? Ask your OB first, but mine said it’s safe for me. I take half of one pill when I need it and my sleep is still mediocre, but it helps me get a few good hours in before the first middle of the night bathroom run, and usually helps me fall asleep a bit better. Still right there with you on the tossing and turning though, I can’t find a comfy position!!
