Is it bad if I take unisom and magnesium to help me sleep often? I have very bad insomnia…

I’m 24 weeks!

Unisom is fine if taken correctly under 25mg. And magnesium is okay if it’s under 400 mg. Take into account the magnesium that’s included in your prenatals.

I’ve been taking half a unisom every single night since like 9 weeks (24 now) lol my OBs are aware & have said it’s totally fine

Magnesium can give you diarrhea if you take too much but it does help with cramping and muscles while pregnant just a normal dose is fine is what my midwife said

thanks girlie!

thanks babe!

got it! Thank u babe

I have bad insomnia also and once I became pregnant stopped taking my prescription. I take both unisom and magnesium to sleep now, OB approved. I won’t say it is a miracle worker but it does help most nights!

there are different types of magnesium. The one I take doesn’t cause diarrhea.

Just checked with my obgyn about this Tuesday and she said it’s fine. 👍🏼

Not at all! I take magnesium. My dr encouraged it. It also helps with constipation they said

I take unisom every night with B6 and a Pepcid. My nausea is HORRID still at 25 weeks and this combo helps with both the nausea and getting good rest

melatonin or herbal teas with chamomile

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Go to dinner ideas

Looking for recipes you use in your family that are not the traditional lasagna, shepards pie, ect

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

Bestie where are you?!

Hey I really need to make some friends being a mom is so lonely. Distance does not matter to me (I can’t see waves)

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
