I'm Currently Feeling: | Sleeping horribly I haven't posted in while :/ Things have been going pretty decent. Our internet was shut off for about a week and I think that gave OH and I time together. Which was nice. But my problem now is I CANNOT get comfortable to sleep. I think I have alittle insomnia or something. I finally fell sleep this morning at 11:30am and just woke up at 9:45pm. I hate being on such a bad schedule  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Aww I hate insomnia...i am just now trying to get over my whacko sleep patterns!  Such a night owl  . I am scared to take sleeping pills and such as well, don't want to 'not wake up in the morning' lol.
One thing i tried this past week was warm milk before crawling in bed. It seemed to help a bit! And i didn't mind it at all, and i am not a milk drinker at all. Something about it was quite soothing. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Ive been the same for the past week, I just CANT get comfortable. When I do eventually fall asleep, I end up getting woken up by junior because he doesn't like me rolling on to my front, or I have a dead arm  Boo

I'm Currently Feeling: | My sleep sucks recently too. I fall asleep early, only to be up to take a pee and then I am up for a few hours.
Woke up at 2:30 a.m. here....it's now 3:46 a.m. I usually get up at 5:30 so now I feel it's a waste of time to go back to bed.
Have kids to get ready for school.
It's going to be a long, long day!
However, thank goodness it is Friday and the weekend is approaching! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Sleeping is getting harder and harder each day. This whole week my right hip has been bothering me really bad (very painful). It makes it hard to sleep. I think I sleep better in my recliner than I do in bed. I hope you get sleep soon (or at least on a regular sleep schedule). |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I take one whole or 1/2 a unisom tablet to help me sleep.
It is safe for pregnancy (Dr. advised me to take that with a b6 vitamin for morning sickness). But make sure it's Unisom and not Unisom gel tab.
The active drug you're looking for is: Doxylamine
Here's a long list of ok drugs for pregnancy and the symptoms you might be having. (Scroll down to the extensive chart). http://www.obfocus.com/high-risk/meds1.htm |
