Insomnia

Hi all! I’m 32 weeks and cannot sleep to save my life. I feel like there is no way to get comfortable and have tried taking Benadryl to knock myself out but to no avail. Has anyone experience this? Tips? I feel like I can’t maintain a thought to save my life in this state.

I am having this issue. Sometimes I go to the couch or the recliner because I have better luck getting comfortable. Have you tried the pregnancy pillow or moving somewhere other than the bed ?

My doctor recommended Unisom as a sleep aid, and it’s been really helpful to me!

You can try acupuncture! Its a super safe method

Sometimes it helps to get early vitamin D from the sun before noon time. That can help your circadian rhythm

Yes!!!! 32 weeks and haven’t slept at night for 3 nights now… tossing and turning, restless legs, and just cannot fall/ stay asleep!! Magnesium extra strength seems to help, epsom salt or other type of nice soap bath before bed with an audible or book, and trying to be patient with myself and body. It can be so frustrating to have trouble falling asleep, but I’ve learned it does not help to get upset with myself over it. I try to accept the fact that sleep is illusive at times and just rest when I can.

Also, my little girl LOVES tap dancing on my balder these days… it does NOT help the sleep issues 😅

ok yes same here! I haven’t tried magnesium or epsom salt that’s a great tip thank you!

yeah it hasn’t helped unfortunately 😭

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
