(But I had a little trouble falling asleep sometimes before DD too.) The not sleeping was mixed in with the PPD/anxiety problems for me! MIL bought me this recently:<br /> <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=181652&#038;catid=183081&#038;aid=338666&#038;aparam=goobase_filler" rel="nofollow">http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=181652&#038;catid=183081&#038;aid=338666&#038;aparam=goobase_filler</a><br /> It's helped, but I only take 1 or 1/2 a night if I use it because I don't want to end up not being able to get up when I need to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-insomnia#post-646293 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 07:09:57 +0000 78h2o 646293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, this is bad, but I had terrible insomnia and pain from a tear, so I took 1/2 a percoct on the worst nights and it really helped me fall asleep. I probably could have handled the pain without it but it helped w/ both pain and sleep so I took it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-insomnia#post-638549 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:45:51 +0000 rachiecakes 638549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: DS is 15 months and I still can't sleep... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-insomnia#post-632779 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 06:54:06 +0000 sslm 632779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: ack! I hope it resolves for you!!!! I've been having the same issue but I'm still pregnant. Maybe you could take something to help? Maybe just a Tylenol or something would do the trick. How about a warm bath or a cup of tea? DH swears by sleepy time tea :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-insomnia#post-632761 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 06:38:36 +0000 Beebug 632761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tororojo: agree! I stay off all but once a night and usually pick DDs "going to be impossible to get her to sleep again" waking as something to keep me sane, other/most times I just lay in bed trying to sleeeeep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-insomnia#post-632613 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:56:11 +0000 tororojo 632613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: Ugh, I hope it passes for you as well! And they say computer screens/TV just makes it harder to fall asleep when you do go to bed. So I doubt HB is helping...but it's more entertaining than laying there in bed, being jealous of DH! (is it weird that I'm jealous of his ability to fall asleep?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-insomnia#post-632607 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:45:23 +0000 Beebug 632607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with ya, and slowing going crazy. DDs sleep has sucked lately and on top of that, I used to fall asleep in a few moments, now it's an hour/hour and a half and even then that's pushing it to get back to sleep. Try a few relaxation techniques, and I just don't feel tired, not a fan! It sucks and I just lay there seemingly eons after she's gotten back to sleep, need some self soothing techniques of my own, gah. Hope it passes for you soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-insomnia#post-632590 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:21:59 +0000 tororojo 632590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AAAAH I can't sleep anymore! And I can't blame it on the baby crying because she's been sleeping in 3-4 hrsish chunks during the night and DH has offered to listen for feeding cues/crying, as well as change diapers. All I have to do is have my boobs ready every few hours, but I can't turn my brain off! I lay in bed and mind just spins over everything that has happened in the past week. Did anyone else have this problem? Did it resolve itself? By the time I finally get to sleep, it's time for the next feeding. I haven't slept for more than 4 hours a night in a week now, and normally I'm an 8 hour a night girl. WAAAAAH! </p>
