No sleep

Hi everyone. I'm 31 weeks and 4 days in this and for the last 3 nights I can't seem to sleep. Days are even worse. Although I feel exhausted and emotionally drained I jus xant sleep. Anybody else experiencing this and if so any pointers on how to fall

Ugh not really. I try a combo of sleepy tea, a warm bath, lavender eo, and white noise. Crashing waves can lull me once I feel drowsy. But it's tough :-( I've been able to fall asleep lately but I'm up for hours in the middle of the night.

Ask your OB about a mild sleeping aid. Mine let me use melatonin (all natural) or half a unisom.
Also I do warms lavender or mint showers/baths and hot camomile tea right before bed. Sometimes me husband has to come lightly rub my back till i fall asleep :/

OB said I can have unisom but not the gel ones or Benadryl. Good luck and try to relax.

I would love to know pointers also. I can't sleep at all. The most hrs I probably get is 4 hrs a day if that. I feel so drained. Plus I already have 2 kids at home.

Benadryl is safe to take. Try that and plus it will help with any allergies you have.
