I’ve had a terrible time sleeping lately too. Maybe I need to try unisom again.

I've been taking a full Unisom at night, but don't dare touch it during the day. During the worst of first trimester, I was struggling enough to stay awake as it was, without adding anything to make me sleepier! I'll likely stay on my nightly Unisom for the rest of the pregnancy, since it's helping me immensely with actually being able to sleep at night - no thank you to dealing with "pregsomnia" this time around and lying awake in bed for hours after getting up to pee. I may have to try it for the first time. The pregsomnia is killing me this go-round.

Ugh I need to vent. my appointment was one thing after another going wrong. Baby is fine and looks great. Started with having to get that nasty drink down for my GTT on an empty stomach. Then I was barely able to squeeze out enough for a urine sample. See my OB then half way through seeing him it was time for my blood draw. 5 people and 6 sticks later, still no blood drawn and it is now past the time limit for the test to be worth anything. I'm a very hard stick so not their fault but still frustrating to drink that nasty stuff and feel awful for nothing. Then OB couldn't find heartbeat with doppler which stressed me, but it did mean I got an immediate quick US to check. HB 150 and baby moving around. So I treated myself to lunch from Wendy's and am recovering on the couch.

tngrl3, Oh man. That was rough to read, let alone have to deal with. I dread when I'm far enough along for that drink. Like, this kid got angry at me eating cake on a not empty stomach, I can't even imagine. 🤢

tngrl3 ugh what a rough appointment! I’m so glad baby is okay though! I think I’m having round ligament pain today. My abdomen is so sore and it was really uncomfortable last night trying to sleep. I just sneezed and ouch! 😑 I guess baby boy is really stretching things out!

tngrl3 ugh that's awful I can't imagine!! It took days to feel back to normal after that drink. (Did it last weekend since my dad has diabetes). Can't imagine having to redo it. I am liking getting up to pee only once or twice instead of 4-5 times thanks to the unisom keeping me knocked out until it's totally full! DH noticed and appreciated the difference lol.

@tngrl UGH. Talk about adding insult to injury. I’m guessing this means you have to do the whole GTT over again? 👎 I hope your Wendy’s was delicious! strawberrykiki RLP is no joke! I was curled up on the couch the other night with a book, and when I stood up, I ended up doubled over from the pain. MH was so confused.

Thanks ladies. Thankfully my OB is pretty great and feels I'm low risk and won't make me repeat until 24w unless I start having issues. It will likely be the 3 hr then but Im okay eith that. I was diet controlled for GD last time and had a 4lb8oz baby at 36w so not exactly a big baby!

We are in Boston for a wedding and MH was kind enough to share the cold he had earlier this week with me so I am away from home and totally miserable. 😪

We went camping this weekend and ever since we got back to town yesterday, I've felt like shit, nausea wise. I thought things were getting better 😫 I really need to head into work but.... I'm so over work. Why does it happen every week?? I can't wait for my cruise next month just so I don't have to be at work.
