Sleeping woes. Any recommendations? I might try CBD oil

[Jogsandwalks]

Currently on week 22, only week 22 but I'm knackered. Before I was preggers, I would take Valerian tea or CBD oil from Holland and Barrett if I wasn't sleeping well and either of them remedies would calm me down nicely. Since getting the preg, I've been really good and not taken anything not explicitly recommended by Dr Google, this includes my usual sleep remedies.

Now, it's got to the point where I'm just shattered. The problem is when I go to sleep on time around 9:30pm, I fall asleep straight away until about 3/4am and then the dreaming starts. I have vivid dreams for the rest of the night and don't actually enter a deep sleep. I wake up tired and I'm tired the whole day with headaches etc.

I want to take CBD oil again just so my brain can fully switch off and I can go into a deep sleep.

Does anyone have any thoughts on CBD oil while pregnant? Please can anyone recommend any sleeping aids that they've tried and has worked?

Good morning, I feel for you. Its horrid when you don't sleep well. I personally wouldn't take anything without speaking to your GP, Midwife or consultant.

They don't recommend CBD oil in pregnancy because it's not proven to be safe. I've also had insomnia throughout my pregnancy. My doctor recommended a pregnancy-safe antihistamine, which I've used a few times and usually helps. You should definitely speak to your doctor though. It's not a good idea to take anything recommended by others without getting medical advice from someone who knows you, your pregnancy and your medical history.

Thanks for your replies. I'll have to have a word with my gp.
