Sleep Disorder while pregnant :(

[LaysiaaM]

Sleeping Disorder while pregnant and without being pregnant I always had a sleeping problem :( it's just worse because I'm 20wks and 5d and have trouble at night with sleep or stress, just was wondering who else surfer from sleep insomnia?

I've had sleep problems for years. I had to be prescribed sleeping pills when I was pregnant because it got worse during the last half of my pregnancy and my doctor was concerned. Regular sleep aids and melatonin don't work for me.

I DO!! Melatonin doesn't work on me. Neither does Tylenol pm. What has been helping me the last few days is using Johnson and Johnson baby bed time bubble bath. It's the purple bottle. It makes me so relaxed. I want to buy the lotion to but I keep forgetting.

I've had insomnia since I was a child. Prior to pregnancy, I tried everything and was put on Lunesta. Once I found out I was pregnant, I stopped taking it cold turkey. I did loads of research and ended up asking my OB if it was okay to take Melatonin which is a natural supplement your brain already produces. On the bottle it clearly states pregnant women shouldn't take it or to ask a doctor first. My OB told me it was a load of BS and most OB will tell you to take Tylenol PM so big drug companies get the money instead..., which could cause a lot more problems in the long run. I'm currently 37 weeks and have been taking 5mg of Melatonin every night since 6 weeks. Have had 0 complications and my little one is as healthy as can be! So maybe try asking your OB about that.

Im already suffering from insomina even before i got pregnant. Now that insomia of mine evolved ten folds! I hardly sleep at night. At first it made me feel alot worried about my baby cos im really not sleeping at night. I was relieved to know that even tho you haven't sleep at night baby will not be harmed as long as you still get about 6 to 8 hours of sleep at day.

I had restless leg syndrome which gave me insomnia before pregnancy and when I got pregnant... It got 500x worse! I know it's hard but try to find all the opportunity/help you can to sleep now. I didn't listen to that advice and I also didn't realize how much you actually don't sleep with a baby/: good luck!
