Ask Your GP.
just sleep during the day
your body will eventually sleep
when it gets tired
get a massage
relax
meditate
etc
My doctor told me that I could take Tylenol PM that early in my pregnancy. She said that there is no evidence of harm to the baby and is safer to use this early (9 weeks) than in the second or third trimesters. If you don’t already have a doctor, go to the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist. They were also a good source for me during my pregnancy. But you should be seeing an OB/GYN or midwife by your 10th week anyway so you should ask them.
Not wanting to eat, throwing up, feeling light-headed and body aches are normal. But with the headache, make sure you are drinking enough water. If you are taking prenatal vitamins, which you should be, you need more water than usual. Good luck!
I’m going to say no because those pills are really strong and everything you take in, the baby takes in.
Stay away from sleeping pills. Instead try relaxing with a book or soft music, etc.
My Dr. told me I could take Tylenol PM or Benedryl to help me sleep, both are safe for you and your baby. Try not to worry yourself about the health of baby, all the symptoms you described are normal. Some of us just have a rougher time w/ pregnancy. Being light-headed could be a sign of anemia so make sure you take you prenatal vitamins and get extra iron in your diet. Hope this helps.
Even losing sleep a few nights a week can significantly impair your ability to function and decrease the quality of your life. You know by now how you feel without a proper sleep: fatigue, irritability and a loss of concentration are high on the ‘side effects list’ for insomnia http://www.freewebs.com/americanhealthcare

Studies have shown that insufficient sleep is the leading cause for stress related diseases. Your 7-9 hours of downtime every night actually help you eliminate stress, regenerate your energy levels, repair any damages in your body and recover or fight off diseases.
