What causes insomnia?

Oh you need enough rest for your baby my dear. I am due this September. There is one complication though.I have a low-lying placenta. In fact, I am lying down typing and lying on one side with my head resting on my left hand. Haha. God bless us both during labor.

Congratulations. Let us pray that we all have to go through with this safe and easily. I think everything will be just fine. Let us just think positive. God bless us.

twirls fingers...im resting or I was for a bit :). Keep getting up to pee and now that I am up going back to sleep is to much work lol. I sorry there is a complication. I also having to deal with some problems my baby has. My baby has gastroschisis (has hole so intestines extrude out the body), growth is behind, also was told about a month and half ago that amniotic fluid is lower than they would like. I just had a doctor apointment on the 20th but wasn't told much. I will have another ultrasound apointment soon though, probably around the 2nd or 3rd of next month. I still have to make that apointment blushes. I am due in October. I am so excited about my baby girl and can't wait to be a mom and I know my baby will do good.

Thank you. I have known about bananas especially with warm milk is very good. The sweet basil is also very interesting. It must be hard to greow here in the philippines. I raelly love smelling herbs.

Growing Sweet Basil in the Philippines is not difficult. It's well adapted to the climate here. Its relative, "Sangig," (scientific name Ocimum Basilicum, variety Citriodorum) has been with the Cebuanos since time immemorial, perhaps before they were even called Cebuanos. "Baho-Baho" (roughly translated "Smelly Plant," scientific name Ocimum Sanctum) or Sacred or Holy Basil grows wild in Davao Oriental. It's sacred to the Hindus. All Basils are mildly sedative, relax and induce one to sleep. The various organic markets in Metro Manila may sell potted Basil.

Thank you so much for the info. I'll try to look for some basil here because I am in Cebu. My mother used to work at shangrila as cook. Perhaps she knows where to get this herb. I know sangig and love it in my vegetable dishes. I love smelling it too. In fact i have sangig planted in my yard. Best regards.

yea, i may have to do this until my body calms down from all the commotion I put it through the last several months. I have had some extreme circumstances. Thanks for letting me know about some options. Those will be useful. The reprogramming process sometimes need aid to make sure it goes through all the way.

It is really is annoying. This happens to me sometimes when I got so much in my mind that I can't sleep. But I do take a glass of warm milk and a banana ( I regularly eat bananas anyway) before going to bed. Chamomile tea will also be really calming, or listening to mellow music. Just relax and try not to think of anything but sleeping. One mylot response said to inhale some basil leaves. I hope this works for you. Good luck!

Yes that is very true. And these factors are really much harder to deal with than just simply being kept awaken by stimulants.

Yes indeed. I just feel sad when I hear that some kind of insomnia has no cure other than to take medicine knowing the side effects of taking them. I just hope that it isn't really that way. But that's reality.

Just try all the good advice that you can get so that it won't get worse. The best are eating healthy and a regular exercise. Music therapy works well too. Just try to relax when you are in bed and do breathing exercises too.
