WHY can't I sleep??

Question

First trimester, sleep came super easily, and it was amazing, deep sleep. Slowly I started waking up at night, usually once to use the restroom. Now I'm up once, maybe twice, I can't get into a deep sleep (I feel aware all the time), and I can't help but dream weird stuff! Help me ladies!! I NEED to sleep without it giving me headaches or making me more tired!

Answer

Unisom is pregnancy safe. Or benadryl, they both have the same amount of diphenhydramine hcl

Answer

It's insomnia. A lot of pregnant women experience this. But some unisom. It helps.

Answer

Try a sleep routine, use lavender scented oil or lotion (or mint or vanilla whatever soothes you) only when you are going to bed, have a small snack, start limiting fluids a couple hours before you go to sleep. Use a white noise maker.

Answer

Do you check your phone or time when you wake up? I found if I resisted that urge to even check the time I fell back asleep but if I looked up I was done and wide awake :(
