months pregnant with my third and cannot
seem to get comfy. Ive been laying on my
left side but im not getting that much
sleep. Im a stomach and right side

I have the same problem as well but sadly,
sleeping on the left side is the
recommended position which is not
comfortable for mums but for the baby. I
do have some nights that I just toss and
turn, toss and turn for almost 2 hours
until I give up. What I did before is to
go online, watch tv just to tire myself.
Sometimes, I give myself a treat. I
sleep for few minutes on my right and lie
down on my back but I eventually move back
to sleeping on my left when my baby is
starting to acting up again! What I am
doing right now (that seems to work) is I
drink 1 - 2 cups of warm milk before going
to bed. I sleep alright and sleeping on
your left will not bother you that much.
The only time I have to get up is when I
have to empty my bladder. And amazingly,
going back to sleep is not a problem as
well. Hope this helps.

Cant Sleep And Over Emotional Posted: 10-29-05 13:51pm
I am 10 weeks pregnant and have not been
able to sleep since two weeks before I
found out I was pregnant but can sleep
like a baby during the day. I have also
noticed in the last couple of weeks I have
been over emotional to the point where I
could quite easily cry at adverts on the
tv to taken anything anyone says to me to
heart and getting upset over it.. Is
anyone else like this or am I weird.

Benadryll has the same active ingredient
as tylenol pm and is safe during
pregnancy...It will definitely help you
sleep as well as help with allergies.
I also had trouble sleeping during my
first trimester when I was pregnant.
Another thing you can take if it is
prescribed is phenergrine- which is
commonly used for nausea during pregnancy
and side effect is drowsiness.
