Insomnia😩

What do y’all do to deal with the pregnancy insomnia? I am so tired but have been awake all night not able to fall asleep! The last couple nights too! Hubby even rubbed my back and squeezed me tight (normally makes me fall right asleep) I’m so exhausted and I’m so not ready to deal with my toddler today😩😩 is melatonin safe during pregnancy? I will try anything as long as it’s safe!

My doctor told me to that it is safe to take melatonin. However, I dont have a toddler and I most certainly do not want to take anything for this pregnancy so I've just literally adopted to becoming a night owl.

I used to eat sleep gummies and nothing bad happened to my baby. Before taking any, consult with your doctor just in case!

Ask your Doctor about unisom

I was told I could take over the counter sleep aid. At first I was taking it just every few days of not sleeping but I was encouraged to just take it every night because sleep is very important

Try the spray mist melatonin that you spray in the air

But if you don’t have to go to work then just ride it out & sleep 😓 whenever you can

Or ask your doctor about safe things to take

I take unisom every night or I would be up for hours and hours waiting to fall asleep, my OB says it perfectly safe. Hope you get some sleep soon doll 😁

Reduced movements

Baby hadn’t moved for about 2 hours (that I can be sure of) but has now got hiccups and moving slightly again. Should I still go to triage or is that enough for things to be ok?

Growth scan

Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Braxton hicks

Where do you feel these in your belly ? Top or bottom?

How regular do you feel them?
I’m having constant period pains low down getting worse each day and lost lots of clumpy snotty looking like discharge yesterday

Is anyone super sweaty down there?

I am around 21 weeks now, doing shopping today and was genuinely panicking my waters had leaked. Rang the local antenatal assessment and was suggested to change, pad up and monitor for an hour and go in to be checked if necessary. Been monitoring with toilet paper wads (as I didn't have maternity pads this early on!) and regular checking and luckily I think everything is okay... But seriously, was it just sweat??! Has anyone else experienced this?

Change of Midwife

I’m gutted, had the same midwife the whole way through (because my original midwife who I never actually saw was on long term sick leave) and now they have put me with the one that was off 😭 I’m probably being dramatic but I’m 5 weeks away from my due date and had so much confidence in my midwife and now I’ve been put with someone I’ve never met and not comfortable with 😭

Has anyone got their c-section dates yet?

Obviously if you've elected for one
