I am 30+2 and so far ive had no problems sleeping but I think its because I move alot at work and when im off from work I dont stop....im always doing something...and even though im on my feet all the time I dont have swelling....I love sleeping in a cold room....if its hot I just cant do it lol
I take unisom bc I was the same way I was up for a week straight lol it was getting pretty bad
Benadryl is ok to take too. If u get desperate and natural methods are not working. ...
Tea will do no good unless its camemile tea to relax you if you dont like the taste try adding a lil sugar to it :) but i would surgest dim lights a good book and some comfy pillows ill be 30weeks tomorrow and ive had 2 sets of new pillows since i got preg as i was finding in hard to sleep lol
my OB mentioned sleep hygiene at our appt today. she suggested to avoid watching tv, movies, that stimulates the mind. instead, you can read a book, have a glass of warm milk, and ensure the room is quiet and dim. also, avoid napping during the day, if its possible so that you can have full REM at bedtime. i'm in my final weeks of pregnancy and the past couple of days, i nap at least twice a day so now i'm going to reduce back to one nap which is during the day. good luck. let me know if it works.
I will definitely try that. Thank you!
You can try some meditation and relaxation techniques. They may sound silly, but they do work. I'm almost 36 weeks and had a lot of insomnia until I tried the relaxation techniques.
I am 28 weeks. I will have to find out. Thank you!
How far along are you? Most doctors (mine included) say it's ok to take unisom, but since I don't know about your medical history I would say check with your doctor first :)
