Erase Your Sleep-less Concerns

Or is it just anxiety or what?
I’m often woken up in the middle of the night by obsessive, repetitive thoughts, and find it hard to fall asleep too because I keep thinking about the same thing over and over again. It’s not always the same thing every night – one night I was woken up by windy noises in the hall because the window was open – but I closed the window and I could still hear the noises in my head. Last night I kept repeating the same song lyrics in my head and the word “syncopah” and “syncopation”.
I was diagnosed with insomnia about 6 months ago and was on medication (Ambien) for it but I am currently trying to get used to sleeping without it.
Is this the insomnia that’s causing these thoughts, or is it OCD, or anxiety, or what???

I am 34 weeks pregnant, almost 35 weeks.
I cant sleep! nothing works to make me fall asleep, and when i finally fall asleep i wake up 3-5 times a night to go pee, or i just wake up and look around my room.
when i wake up in the AM i have actual memory of tossing around and getting up, so its not like i just stur and then fall back asleep its like i actually fully wake up.

in the AM i feel even more tired then i did when before i went to bed, its horrible.
yesterday my fiance and i were at the mall and we got some lunch, i almost fell asleep at the table in the mall. it was horrible! i dont feel safe driving because how tired i get.

when i try to fall asleep at night i get a sudden bout of energy, i have tried:
exercise
a warm bath
pillow mist
sex
cleaning
going on the computer
reading
watching boring late night tv
tea
tylenol pm
tylenol 3
having my fiance tickle my arms [that used to help me fall asleep]
pillows
different positions

but the thing is i just dont FEEL tired, my mind is 100% awake but my body is really tired, i WANT to sleep, i dont want to do anything else but i cant fall asleep, or stay asleep!

i honestly think that medication is the only thing that will help me, have any of you ladies used any kind of sleep medication later on during your pregnancies? i need sleep its effecting me horribly i fall asleep at work and at odd times of the day when i should be alert

it hasnt been unusual for me to be awake at 6am and not go back to sleep till after 1 am, and still wake up 3-5 times a night.

please ANY advice helps! what can i say to my DR about this? i havce told him i cant sleep before and all he said was that its normal i dont feel like this is normal at all!
okay if i am saying this is not normal its NOT. i know my body and i am truely suffering, i had the normal pregnancy insomnia before but this is way worse and way different.
