Try neom magnesium body butter It is amazing , knocks me right out
I feel you pain sorry your experiencing this too 😫im exactly the same it's killing me of I had the butter but didn't help me but I wasn't consistent I suppose ,if any one else has any suggestions please share 🙈
Yeah I have a cream I put on my feet and legs and I think it helps me get to sleep but I can’t stay asleep for long enough. Wondering if a supplement would work better. I know this is prepping me for when baby boy arrives but it would be nice to at least get some sleep in before 🤣
It’s a nightmare! I have no issue falling asleep, I’m bloody knackered 😂 but I wake up about 3/4 for a wee and am then wide awake for hours until it’s time to get up 💤
I WhatsApp my midwife and she said up to 300mg of magnesium glycinate is safe to take in pregnancy. I’m going to have a look in Holland and Barrett today. Had another awful night so need to try something
@Jen ah thanks for this I asked my midwife yesterday as I’m struggling with insomnia but she said to ask the pharmacist which I did and they said to ask my midwife 🙃
I bought some low dose magnesium glycinate and I’ve taken 280mg the past two nights with dinner and have slept better. Still only 5.5 hours a night but less wake ups and shorter times awake so hopefully this wasn’t a fluke and it really does work
Morning Jen, also following this after being go an hour and awake since about the same time 😅 couldn’t sleep and lovely leg cramp to accompany it! I used to take magnesium before I was pregnant and really do miss it but was never sure how much is safe in pregnancy!
