Prengnancy insomnia
I have a hard time falling asleep now without AirPods in and listening to a podcast! And then my dog wakes me up around 5am and I can’t fall back asleep until my alarm goes off at 8am. I just lay there and spiral. Anyone have any tips other than meditation apps? Experience with Safe sleep aids like Unisom? I haven’t tried any yet!

benadryl helped me a ton when I was pregnant
I'm back to say unisom and benadryl both have the same active ingredients but they can be expensive at name brand. If you can go to sams/costco/kirkland or even Amazon you can buy 600 count 25mg allergy medicine (diphenhydramine is the active ingredient that makes you drowsy) for around $4-$8 instead of buying 25 count or less for a lot more. I hope this helps.
Thanks everyone! I explored the Pregnant Reddit thread and have now taken 1/2 and then 1/4 tab of Unisom. Works like a CHARM. Very happy to get some sleep again!

I take unisom and it’s the best thing ever! Doc said that it was safe. He also suggested Benadryl 25mg. I’m 11weeks today and it’s been a struggle, especially because i used to take 10mg edibles before bed and I obviously had to quit :/
