I was like that for a while.. trust me it might say the same but it might change.. i was wide awake during the first few weeks of the first trim. then towards 12 weeks I was so tired, I wouldnt fall alseep until like 1am and then i would sleep until noon or later. Now I cant sleep again becuase of back pain for where baby is positioned. I think it switches on and off during your whole pregnancy lol. You can safely take Tylenol pm or unisom. They both have the active ingredients as Benadryl. However try not to make a habit of taking them for long time, as you can become dependent on them
