Insomnia

Hello I just found out I'm pregnant with my second and I am so tired but I can't sleep. I was talking melatonin occasionally before I found out. I slept perfectly the first few days after but now I can't fall asleep or stay asleep. I'm only 6 weeks along is there anything I can do???

Have you tried benadryl? It's safe during pregnancy.

I had the same problem in early pregnancy. My doctor prescribed me unisom which is actually for morning sickness but also helps her tired and stay asleep. Ask your doctor about a prescribed sleep aid. Melatonin did not work for me.

Just ask your Dr about continuing a low dose of the melatonin.

You could try tylenol pm or unisom. With my last pregnancy doc prescribed the lowest dose of ambian possible. Good luck
