Anyone else struggling with insomnia?

Question

11 weeks today.... I keep waking up between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning and can’t go back to sleep for 30 minutes or longer after I wake up. I’m sure some of it has to do with having to pee in the middle of the night.
My husband gets up at 6:00 for work, so when my alarm goes off at 7:00, it’s really hard to want to get up.
Any tips for getting a decent night’s sleep? I’m worn out!

Answer

I’m just gone 12 weeks and also been struggling! Jut can’t seem to settle!

Answer

Yes! I’ve had it so badly with all 3 of my pregnancies. I stay home with my kiddos so some days I have to sneak a nap while they’re napping lol! Maybe talk to your dr about unisom? Just the regular ones (doxylamine) not the gels. I know some people use it to treat morning sickness so I assume it’s safe to use for sleep too, but better to be safe by checking.

Answer

I’m 11 weeks too and having the same issue. I have to get up and pee but it sucks because I get up for work around 430am. But insomnia is definitely involved. I’m definitely not getting the rest like I was earlier in the pregnancy. I took a half of a unisom, which is safe per my dr, and I managed to sleep through the night. I don’t like taking anything that’s not a prenatal but rest is important for you and baby. So I’ll only do it on work nights when I feel l really need the help resting. I am fortunate that I can take a short nap at work every day too. Ask your dr about unisom to help you if you’re feeling really drained during the day.

Answer

Yup! It’s 4:30 and I’ve been up an hour. Unisom (even half a tablet) works wonders! Didn’t take it before bed and I’m regretting it.
