Pregnant w/ insomnia

In my mid 40’s and struggling with insomnia…cant say if it’s the fertility meds I’ve been on them for years. Any tips besides unisom…looking for natural options/suggestions? I am trying to exercise when i have energy but 1st tri is kicking my butt. Super excited about my little angel.

Congratulations on the pregnancy! I had insomnia at the start of the second trimester and honestly the only thing that really helped was getting signed off work! I don't know if the stress of work contributed but I took 4 days self-cert because I didn't feel safe driving in and being in charge of a class of children. Then after my worst night (about an hour sleep between 9pm and 2am then fully awake) around 3pm I got signed off for a week. I fell asleep at 7pm and had a solid few hours for the first time in about 2 weeks. I slept better in the 3rd trimester than the 2nd so don't assume it'll only get worse either! Xxx
