Insomnia 13 weeks 😖

Erin
For the past week I cannot get comfortable in bed. I guess something is pushing on my bladder. I have to get up to pee constantly because the pressure is so intense. Between that, being gassy, getting hungry and acid reflux I'm losing my mind at night. Now it's 7:30 and my brain is awake and my body says sleep. Too bad it's time to start the day 😭😭😭😭

My OB told me that if I get less than 4.5 hours of sleep one night, I should take a Benadryl the next night so that my body can catch back up. He stressed how important sleep is. I don't want to take any meds if I can avoid them so I have just been really walking a bunch or staying active during the day after I don't sleep. Seems to work because I then tend to fall into bed that next night and don't have to take anything. Maybe take a Benadryl if you need it or up your activity level? Good luck!

I took a Benadryl this morning and managed to fall back asleep for a few hours thank goodness.

This has been my biggest pregnancy issue. Not morning sickness. I finally gave in and bought some benedryl. Going to take it tonight. Hope to recover from the 4 hrs 23 mins of sleep I got last night. No alarm clock, no noise to wake me up.

Have massive headaches. Can't function. Don't want to talk to anybody :( thankfully my husband is so supportive and does all the cleaning and dealing with house construction mess right now.
