My sleep schedule completely reversed as well so I just let things happen naturallly . I changed my work schedule to work all night and sleep during the day . Works for now .

Im 26 weeks and im currently so depressed my man is in the army I have to do everything alone I love him so much but I feel like giving up sometimes frl and I have insomnia all the time I feel horrible right now I cry everyday

My routine is going on a walk about .5 miles, showering, warming up some water putting ginger, lemon and honey in it, drinking it with a snack and itās been helping me go to sleep. Sometimes I even warm up milk and thatāll knock me out. If I wake up in the middle of the night and canāt go back to sleep then Iāll do some prenatal yoga then have a snack and lay back down. But then sometimes nothing works and Iām up at 2am lol itās a process!

I have challenges too Iām 25 weeks.. itās getting harder to sleep through . I donāt have problem falling asleep but I wake up a lot . Iām sorry to hear that! Feel free to message if you need someone to talk to. Things will get better

if you call 988 they have free and confidential resources to help you momma ā¤ļø

Same! A prenatal massage helps me sleep better

it gets easier but try to reach out to someone and see if they can help you , Iām almost 28 weeks and me and my husband are mil to mil heās deployed at the moment tho and itās hard to keep up with everything, I reach out to sum family to come help me out, donāt be scared to ask!

Magnesium is good for leg cramps and helping with sleep

Solfeggio frequencies or nature sounds like rain/thunderstorms help create a soft noise that calms me down enough to get to sleep when insomnia kicks in.
Magnesium glycinate (supplement) is another option my midwife shared with me! Iāve heard itās better than unisom and doesnāt accrue a tolerance

I've taken Benadryl and Tylenol pm too

Me tooooo. As its 1am all my babies and hubs are asleep and im wide awakeš
