Restless nights

[mlrodrigue5]

Hello everyone. I just found out I am pregnant (5 or 6 weeks) and have my first appointment on the 17th. However I am not sleeping well, I am having hot flashes, back pain, sinus pressure, and just discomfort all around. Is this normal and can I do anything to ease the discomfort?

First off CONGRATS!!!I basically went through the same thing lol. The air condition had to be on at all times along with me in a tank top and panties. Any other article of clothing made me feel restricted and even hotter. Sometimes I would use a cool cloth for my hotspots(face,under the arms,under the breast and down below. It was more cost efficient. And drank lots of water. As for back pains I would lay down at night but not in the normal sleeping position. I was always a side sleeper and all of a sudden the only way I felt com was on my belly. I stayed away from all medicines and ate more ginger and tumeric and did simple stretches. I hope it was at least bit helpful.
