Insomnia

Maybe this is just a me thing but I’ve always had the worst insomnia and being pregnant it’s gotten worse!!! I have to take a unisom hours before I want to fall asleep to knock myself out. I used to take Benadryl pre pregnancy but my OB told me to take unisom instead during my first trimester because it helps with nausea too.

I have to take unisom too. I would fall asleep and wake back up

Relatable, reading this at 3:30AM 😅

I keep having to get up to pee and struggling to fall asleep again 😭 I never have issues outside of pregnancy and unisom didn't work for me 🥲

I never had much trouble. It used to come pretty easy. I'm not sure if it's this pregnancy or the loss of my husband but I have been unable to sleep without unisom. My issue now is that I don't want to get out of bed.

I’m a lifelong insomniac and once I hit second trimester my OB cleared me to start drinking valerian root tea again like I had been before pregnancy. It’s been doing the trick so far, but I think part of it is the built in exhaustion from building a human lol

Just started experiencing this after waking up to pee 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Same here. All kinds of aches wake me up around 5 am every night. Is Benadryl safe to take in pregnancy? I would take it if it helps fall asleep
