SLEEP INSOMNIA

Hey. Suffering from severe sleep insomnia. Doctor is prescribing medicines to help sleep. But divided between taking it or not. Scared I’d get addicted and it would harm the baby. Unable to sleep all night and all day. Barely 3-4 hours of sleep all day. My mind goes to places it shouldn’t. Causing stress anxiety and weird thoughts. I tried meditating relaxing everything. Nothing helps. It’s driving me insane. I can’t enjoy doing anything. I sit with people with my mind wandering somewhere else. It’s becoming difficult. I’m just 24 weeks pregnant. I don’t know if it’ll be the same for the remaining time or get better

I ended up the same way as you are now and I used magnesium and then I used Benadryl when I ran out I never got addicted to the drugs .. just the good sleep! Lol 🤣

Omg I am basically the same and I’m 23 weeks pregnant! I think exercising/ going for a long walk tires me out and makes me sleep better usually but I just haven’t had much time to walk lately

I haven’t in 5 nights. And I’m still not able to sleep. I’m tired physically and mentally beyond words still not getting sleep

Sleep😴😪 all you can now before your baby gets here because you're on their schedule once arrived. That one little beni does the job!👍🏾😴

I understand the fear that any meds will harm your baby but to a degree you have to trust that the dr has your baby's best interest in mind. Also, the lack of sleep, stress, and anxiety aren't good for the baby either. Talk to your Dr about your concerns to ease your mind then take whatever sleep meds Dr says are safe and get some rest!

I went through a patch of this for about 3/4 weeks. It was horrendous but it did eventually pass. I really missed sominex during that period!!! Good luck! If the doc has prescribed it hopefully it would be ok!

So during my pregnancies I had bad morning sickness and my dr prescribed me something called bonjesta, morning and night. I didn't really look up the medicine until later in my pregnancy, but it's just vitamin b and unisom doxylamine. It would make me so drowsy I would take a nap at work
