Can't sleep?

Question

So I'm finally in my 3rd trimester and it's been a week now to where I always wake up at 3:30 am to use the bathroom and then I can't fall back asleep
 I toss and turn but still can't fall back asleep. I wonder if this is when I'll deliver? It also doesn't help that I go into work at 6 am. Any help on falling back asleep?

Answer

I've never been someone who gets up to pee at night and now I get up at least 3 times a night! And so exhausting! And I'm always thirsty so I drink but then that means I have to pee. Terrible cycle

Answer

I have the same problem. My doctor recommended I try Benadryl--I got the liquid so I can control the doseage better...even though my dr said it doesn't affect the baby, I've taken it 3 times so far and it felt like the baby moved less when I use it.
Sometimes I can't sleep more than 4 hours and I work 10-12 hour shifts, so that's when I just need something!

Answer

Lavender essential oil on the bottoms of you feet. Or defuse lavender and francense blend. 
Don't drink cold water before going back to bed, try room temp water.

Don't touch any electronics. The screen light can wake your mind for hours.

Hopefully you find something that can help.

Answer

It's tough, I'm usually pretty ok with falling back asleep, yet sometimes it just doesn't happen.
Try not to think about everything and anything, or solve world problems.
For me it helps to focus on my breathing.
At first I don't remember how to breath and it's very unnatural, but eventually I'll get my natural rytm back and dose off.
Sometimes I get up and listen to calm music or read a little light literature to avoid tossing and turning and stressing.
Guess this is teaching us that sleep is a luxury and not a necessity before baby is born 😂
