I have a sleep disorder and depression. I take medication for the sleep disorder and have continued it (under dr. supervision) through my pregnancy. I’m currently over 26 weeks and I’m having extreme insomnia, even with the prescription sleep medication. Could this be due to hormonal changes? Is it safe to change medications and would that be effective? I have to take something because my body won’t sleep period if I don’t. I can get to sleep fine but wake up after a few hours and can’t go back to sleep for the life of me. It is horrible because I work during the day, can’t even nap, I exercise/eat right, and nothing works. My medication just doesn’t work anymore. I had a little bit of insomnia the first trimester, but now it is extreme and never-ending. I’m so tired and can’t deal with this for another 3 months without getting extremely sick or having clinical depression I’ve also dealt with return. Obviously I don’t want to hurt the baby, but has anyone else experienced stuff like this where they already take sleep medication and even that doesn’t work? Suggestions?
