insomnia?

Question

Hello everyone. Has anyone been experiencing sleepless nights? I've always had insomnia, but now that I'm expecting (July 3) I can't use my normal sleeping remedies. If anyone is experiencing the same thing, any and all advice is welcome. This momma needs her sleep! 💤💤😴

Answer

I had really bad insomnia my first pregnancy. I used a diffuser and essential oils because I didn't want to use medicine if I didn't have to... Which sounds insane but it actually worked pretty well! Nice soothing and relaxing scents like lavender or a pre mixed combination
I also took a bag almost every night with lavender Epsom salts or a bath bomb.

Hope that helps :)

Good luck!

Answer

Melatonin is perfectly safe. Just take a small dose tho

Answer

Answer

Me!!! Could not sleep last night. I think that's how the introduction of HCG effects me because every time I've had an HCG shot (for fertility treatments) I also get insomnia.

Answer

Is a short nap during the day an option? I try for a nap with my toddler as my 7 hrs has been cut to about 5 as well. Also, eventually, your body is so tired you will just sleep. I promise. Sitting up in the chair, eating dinner, whatever. Try some moderate exercise, getting hubby to give you a massage or shoot for a nap after work if possible. And honestly, it really does prepare you for the sleeplessness that will be your life for quiet a long while with new baby bundles! But hey, we got this! Right?!

Answer

All I do is toss and turn. I can not get comfortable even when I put the pillow between my legs and under my stomach. My due date is JULY 4th.

Answer

Thank you all for the suggestions. Definitely going to try them out!

Answer

Same here, I get tired around 9, but then I end up paying in bed not able to sleep and wind up getting up and staying awake until about 3 am. I'm able to sleep about 4 hours then awake all day. I'm exhausted throughout the day, as if pregnancy hormones aren't enough o make us tired lol then dealing with only a few hours of toss and turn sleep makes for one grumpy mama. Good luck ladies...wish I could be of more help.
