I am 12 weeks today and for the past week
I have not been sleeping well at all. I
toss and turn all night in addition to
getting up to go pee. Because of this, I
have headaches all the time and it is
affecting my work. Any suggestions on
what to do?? I would give anything to
take a swig of nyquil!!

I have never slept well since I got
pregnant. First it was early am sickness
starting around 4am followed now by the
baby moving about around the same time.

I've had trouble sleeping throughout this
whole pregnancy. It is safe to take
unisom.

Unisom is an over the counter sleep aid.

I have been told not to take sleep aids
during pregnancy...However I was told that
I could take benadrylle(spelling) to help
relax me and my body. I am not so sure
about the unisom check with your ob before
taking anything.

Ditto---always check with .Dr first--i
dont think unisom would be good for baby.
My opinion only.
Warm milk, or nice warm bath may help

Thanks again for the replies. I
researched some more and found that
tylenol pm was ok after the 1st trimester.
Anyone take that?

Hey Gurl.. Posted: 02-07-06 15:10pm
Yeah I totally had that problem bad... It
was horrible!! The dr ended up giving me
a certain kind of med that was safe while
I was pregnant and it knocks me out!!! It
was affecting my work majorly. So if the
pm dosent work, i'd talk to him. Wish ya
luck liz.
