Sleeping horribly

[horrorheart13]

I haven't posted in while :/ Things have been going pretty decent. Our internet was shut off for about a week and I think that gave OH and I time together. Which was nice. But my problem now is I CANNOT get comfortable to sleep. I think I have alittle insomnia or something. I finally fell sleep this morning at 11:30am and just woke up at 9:45pm. I hate being on such a bad schedule

Aww I hate insomnia...i am just now trying to get over my whacko sleep patterns! Such a night owl . I am scared to take sleeping pills and such as well, don't want to 'not wake up in the morning' lol.

One thing i tried this past week was warm milk before crawling in bed. It seemed to help a bit! And i didn't mind it at all, and i am not a milk drinker at all. Something about it was quite soothing.

Ive been the same for the past week, I just CANT get comfortable. When I do eventually fall asleep, I end up getting woken up by junior because he doesn't like me rolling on to my front, or I have a dead arm Boo

I feel your pain! Hope you sleep better soon hun.

Its so weird coz I always used to sleep on my front, so when I sleep on my side I can't work out where to put my arm :s

Yeah, me too! I just can't find a spot to put my arms so they won't fall asleep :/ I toss and turn all night trying to keep my limbs awake!

My sleep sucks recently too. I fall asleep early, only to be up to take a pee and then I am up for a few hours.

Woke up at 2:30 a.m. here....it's now 3:46 a.m. I usually get up at 5:30 so now I feel it's a waste of time to go back to bed.

Have kids to get ready for school.

It's going to be a long, long day!

However, thank goodness it is Friday and the weekend is approaching!

My sleep is off and on. Some nights, I sleep great others I sleep horrible. I find its a pillow thing. I just needed thicker pillows to help prop everything up!

Sleeping is getting harder and harder each day. This whole week my right hip has been bothering me really bad (very painful). It makes it hard to sleep. I think I sleep better in my recliner than I do in bed. I hope you get sleep soon (or at least on a regular sleep schedule).

I take one whole or 1/2 a unisom tablet to help me sleep.

It is safe for pregnancy (Dr. advised me to take that with a b6 vitamin for morning sickness). But make sure it's Unisom and not Unisom gel tab.

The active drug you're looking for is: Doxylamine

Here's a long list of ok drugs for pregnancy and the symptoms you might be having. (Scroll down to the extensive chart).

I was wondering if there were any sleep aids I could take without hurting anything, so that's great! Thanks margerle!

I wish I had a recliner! My right hip has also been acting up really bad, both when I'm sitting and laying down. It's driving me crazy. I just need to find a way to situate myself so I can stay alseep without getting sore or having parts fall asleep. Even that seems impossible when I have to get up every 2 or 3 hours to pee

I've heard about maternity pillows or long body pillows you can situate along your backside or between your legs (or however you like to hold it) and it makes it more comfortable to lay down and sleep on your side. Have you tried something like that?

there's all kinds of pillows with different shapes like the above. even a regular pillow that is extra long could work as a back support.

Ooh they look so comfy!!! I keep having to wake up to go pee and when i sleep on my side the cover slides off and i wake up with a freezing cold shoulder!
