This time I'm on Unisom and Fenergan if it's really bad. I'm 26 weeks and I've taken it every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-during-pregnancy#post-2467044 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:37:05 +0000 NovBaby1112 2467044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: well, let's just say I slept better the night I had DS :meh: I hope something works for you though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-during-pregnancy#post-2467027 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:23:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 2467027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: @winniebee: Did you both take Unisom the entire duration of your pregnancy, consistently, with no issues? I always feel so guilty taking medications so once the nausea passed, I tried to stop...</p> <p>@NovBaby1112: Ugh, so miserable :( Did anything help you get some sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-during-pregnancy#post-2466973 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:33:41 +0000 NovBaby1112 2466973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the worst insomnia with my second. It was torture :( It lasted almost my entire pregnancy, I was probably getting maaaaybe 3-4 hours of sleep a night, broken up. I started using unisom, and it helped, but not a whole lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-during-pregnancy#post-2466913 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:29:56 +0000 winniebee 2466913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bad insomnia the whole time both times. Unisom!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-during-pregnancy#post-2466813 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:16:52 +0000 gingerbebe 2466813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why can't you keep using the Unisom? My doctor told me it was totally fine to use for the entire duration of my pregnancy and I take one with B6 and my prenatal every night before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-during-pregnancy#post-2466808 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:13:05 +0000 pinkcupcake 2466808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... I can see why people use sleep deprivation as a form of torture :( </p> <p>I've been unable to fall asleep AND stay asleep this entire pregnancy (at week 20 now). The earlier weeks, I was on Unisom for morning sickness and that helped me fall asleep at least, but I stopped for the past 2 weeks and I'm seriously dying here. I get maybe 2 hours a night? I usually go to bed around 10. Lie there, restless, toss and turn, get up to pee from about 10-3am :( finally fall asleep for a couple hours, wake up, Toss and turn, then fall asleep again :( and wake up at 7 or 8. It's driving me crazy. </p> <p>I can understand insomnia during third tri but anyone suffer from it the entire pregnancy? What did you do? I'm trying to do all the right things - no tv before bed, no phone in bed, etc. but nothing is helping and I'm at my wits end :( </p>
